Good Authoring Day to YOU …
… And Happy Saturday to you!
Prepping for the workbooks for Book Marketing – Social Media Unplugged … love the new cheat sheet I’ve created for participants for social media ideal posting times. It will be fun. Are you coming? https://bit.ly/MarketingSocMediaUnplugged
Today I’m at the Heather Gardens Annual Autumn Fair with a few other authors. Selling books … and shopping as well. And invites are out for the Autumn Author Tea in my home. Come … and bring friends. It’s happening on October 29th.
It’s Caturday … Cutting words, sentences, paragraphs, and sometimes chapters from a manuscript is where “ruthless editing” comes into play. If your words are working, delete them.
That’s me for this Saturday—tomorrow is working with a writing client starting at 8 am and in the afternoon, polishing my fiction book co-written with Brian Barnes—next week, it’s layout time … 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.
