Good Authoring Day to YOU …
… And Happy Saturday and NEW YEAR to you!
Today is the first day for the Publishing at Sea adventure. Joining me are 25 mateys … and I’m so glad to be in the sun for eight days. And for me, it means no snow shoveling this week. A very good thing.
Next year … join us. It’s a western Caribbean week starting January 21, 2023.
It’s Caturday … and in the wintertime, it’s a good strategy for authors to noodle what they really care about. Does it come through in the writing? How about in any interviews done? What about projects going forward? Even if someone encourages you to write on a topic, ask the question: do I care about this? You should.
That’s my past week … how about you … what are you up to?
Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group that I lead with—a “show and tell how to do ‘it’ … whatever ‘it’ is, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”. Become a subscriber so you can get Friday Coaching for only $27 a month for VIP AuthorYOU members, $37 for non-members—limited number of subscribers allowed. We gather viz Zoom at 7 AM. Get on board –it’s fun and informative … and you get all questions answered. We do it via Zoom. This is for any author anywhere! Register– http://bit.ly/JudithCoaching
