Good Authoring Day to YOU …
… And Happy Saturday to you!
It’s SPRING … and OH YES … Monday we work up to the white stuff coming down like cotton balls … SNOW!
Looking forward to today’s AuthorU workshop TODAY … it’s all about creating contests that are fun … and get results.
Next week is the AuthorYOU Salons and for me, getting my last NEW book in the “Re” series … Snappy Sassy Salty Success quotes for authors and writers loaded into Amazon and Ingram. Then, it’s the take-down of everything OLD. A task, indeed.

It’s Caturday … an important topic for all others to face and talk about … vulnerability. The words you use are felt by your readers. And by you. Some will love you … and some will give you the stink eye. Move on.
That’s me for this Saturday … 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 $37 a month for VIP AuthorYOU members, $75 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
