Good Authoring Day to YOU
I’m back … into the heart of winter and snow more days this week than sunshine. Ready for another cruise! This week, I have my quarterly Ask Judith anything webinar on Wednesday at NOON Mountain time. Join me … ask me anything about publishing, marketing, branding – just ask. The goal is to increase your success quotient.
One of the things I came back with is an idea for a new book series—all will be less than 100 pages. The first title is in place, I’ve already bought the domain and done the outline. Getting away from the office, ongoing phone calls and emails opens up creativity. Try it, bet you will like it.
How about you? Where are your creative juices taking you for adding new ideas, services, promos … what? What have you planned going forward for 2020? For marketing? For writing? For what? What is your vision for you and your book?…
