I firmly believe that we have time for whatever we make time for - I'm just struggling to actually put that into practice haha. Where do you guys fit writing in your day? Or week?

A lot of writer's I've talked to say they're worried about pushing their book on social media because they don't want to come across as annoying. I'm gonna drop a little truth bomb here—whatever content you make is going to be a drop in the bucket of the content people are consuming. Seriously, people see hundreds (if not thousands) of posts every day as they're scrolling mindlessly. Your daily post about your book is just going to be one of those. Even if you're posting every day, there's so much content out there that there's no way you can actually be annoying. So share your book often! Make your posts fun and show your personality, but don't worry about being annoying! It's nearly impossible!

Hey all! I'm about 2/3 of the way through the story-level edit of my manuscript ... and I'm going WAY too slowly and still not making very many meaningful changes. Every time I sit down to write with an objective for that scene, I get caught up in the words that are already there, and before you know it, an hour has gone by and I haven't axed a thing. I know I'm getting too attached to the existing prose, and I keep trying to fit big plot changes into writing that's already there ... which (shocker) isn't working. Any advice on how to approach this phase of editing, and how to avoid getting too married to your existing draft?

This video is such good inspiration for me in those hobbies I have where I don't feel as good as I want to be. It is such a good reminder that we just need to be patient and create lots.

I've been around the block when it comes to book marketing. Been doing this for years. Sold thousands of copies. But here's the thing I've noticed between the indie authors that sell a bunch of books and those that flounder for attention. The indies that are selling lots of books have a terrific cover. Your book cover is the single most important piece of book marketing you can do. If it doesn't blend in among traditionally published books, you're sunk. Whatever you do, do NOT cheap out on your book cover. Do whatever you can to make sure that book cover would stop someone in their tracks at a Barnes & Noble.
