It’s time for a recap of some of the top Twitter Tips for Authors this past week.
Happy Saturday to you …
My weekend will be spent within the walls of Books Are Awesome in Parker CO on Saturday for book signings with six authors (we are there from 12 to 3) … then finalizing the table centerpieces for the Colorado Authors Hall of Fame Induction event. Sunday finds me in the “writing-mode” working with two clients’ books.
How about you? What are you doing to support your community? The work of others? How about you?
And it’s #Caturday post time. Vulnerability is something every author faces. The critics come forth … mostly zaps from those who are envious that “YOU did it … and they didn’t.” Toughen your hide–they are out there.
And my favorite thing early each Saturday morning: I felt it yesterday … an “extra” goose of coolness in the air … aha … the “fall snap” has reared its head. Change is coming. Although temps in my neck of the woods will be in the 90s all week … change is coming.
I love the morning sunrise. With a mug of hot tea, enjoying the tweets and chatter of the finches that start early; hearing the owls hoot back and forth … my day begins. And thinking—sometimes about client’s books; Sometimes about “My next” book—the first and last chapters are done. Sometimes about marketing and strategies. What’s not to like? It’s time for #weekend update!
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—a limited number of subscribers allowed. We gather viz Zoom at 7 AM.
