Alice Rosewell

Thank you to @JamieHarrisTech for his recent piece on avoiding Facebook Market scam #fedexpostman. Took a few steps into the dark but turned back after reading his article. Thanks Jamie.

@StonehamPress @agnieszkasshoes @CAPASHeidelberg That's messed up my writing schedule.#indieAuthorChat

@AliceRosewell @agnieszkasshoes @CAPASHeidelberg Dan's Mayan tablet says so. #indieAuthorChat

Q7: Do you attend any conferences? What are the best ones you have been to? #indieAuthorChat

@agnieszkasshoes @StonehamPress @CAPASHeidelberg The world is ending in April?😟#indieAuthorChat

@StonehamPress A7 In terms of books, I love London Book Fair. I really love academic conferences in my area - very excited about speaking at @CAPASHeidelberg 's conference on models & reimaginings of the end of the world in April #indieauthorchat

Thanks Tim and everyone. I've decided on my strategy for CrimeFest. Sneak in, prop up the bar, and see what happens. See you next week. #indieAuthorChat

@StonehamPress A4. invest in a subscription to Alli. #indieAuthorChat

Q4: What are some things that authors should spend money on before spending it on attending conferences? #indieAuthorChat

@StonehamPress A1 . I've never been to one, but hoping to get to CrimeFest in Bristol this year. Don't know what to expect so a check list of things to look out for would be useful.#indieAuthorChat

Q1: What type of conferences does it make sense for authors to attend? #indieAuthorChat

@StonehamPress @IndieAuthorALLI Hi Tim. Are there going to be questions or shall I just weigh in with the usual gobbledegook? #indieAuthorChat

@TeneshaLCurtis A7: Actually I procrastinate at everything. The only way around it is to remind myself that I never feel motivated until I've been doing something for ten minutes. #indieAuthorChat

Um...this is a trick question, right? :D #IndieAuthorChat

@StonehamPress A7. Duh! #indieAuthorChat

Q7: Do you procrastinate as an author? #indieAuthorChat

A6. Wake up. Go to bathroom. Make tea. Go back to bed. Write (pen and paper). DO NOT look at news, email, media of any kind. #indieAuthorChat

A4 Not knowing how to launch a book to best effect. #indieAuthorChat

@Kathrynclang Kathryn. You hit the nail on the head there. It's a JOB! Try telling that to family and friends who think it's just your hobby. #indieAuthorChat

A2: Despite the normal freezes: fear doubt disappointment The #1 thing that holds people back from writing is NOT TREATING IT LIKE A JOB! Be intentional with your writing time. #indieAuthorChat

@StonehamPress A2. For me, picking which idea to choose. So many books I'd like to write, in multiple genres. How to decide? #indieAuthorChat

Q2: What would you say stops people from starting to write a new book? #indieAuthorChat

A1. I think procrastination is down to poor preparation. If I don't set out my writing materials the night before, I can faff about for hours in the morning and never get started. #indieAuthorChat

Hi everyone. Alice from Bristol UK here. I've just set aside the first part of my fantasy trilogy as it was heading for 120K words and I can't afford to get it edited:( Now plotting the 1st 3 of my murder mysteries which have been bouncing around my head for yrs #indieAuthorChat

Bye everyone - see you next week. #indieAuthorChat

@authordjmartin @StonehamPress @LeanneLLeeds DJ - I met the real Picard in the pub one day. He was down in Bristol to watch his wife sing in a band at the Old Duke (Dan might know it). He was absolutely charming. I was a complete idiot. Never meet your idols in real life! #indieauthorchat

Q5: How can an author know if they are being effective in their content marketing? #indieAuthorChat

Hi all, made it through the stormy weather here in the UK. Catching up now. #indieAuthorChat
