Book Marketing: It's Monday or send your budget money to your book marketing account day. Deposit $20 or more each week even if you aren't doing much else. You will need it later. #FaysWritingTips #bookmarketing

I am on Chapter 15 of Arthur with quite a few people reading it as I write it. Lots of fun feedback. A bit scandalous but it is erotica so had to expect that. I didn't have time to write this weekend so today is a writing day.

With the blocks in place I can crank down the stabilizers. I need my small level (must find) but I'm happy to be to this step finally. I had 2 flat tires (one still in truck) and had to swap a repaired one for a flat last week. Today the flat goes to the tire shop next.

Good Morning, Beautiful People!!! Today is Monday, June 21, 2021 with a predicted hot high of 92F. I was busy outside already trying to beat the heat. Working on leveling 2 campers. One with concrete blocks. Lots of heavy breathing! What are you up to today?

Book Marketing: It's Tuesday so that means you are making sure you are saving money in your budget. Of everything you do this is Number One or Number Two in importance. Planning is the other top marketing action. Save $20+ each week. #FaysWritingTips #writingcommunity

Good Morning, Beautiful People!!! Today is Tuesday, June 15, 2021 with a predicted lovely high of 84F. I am writing today, plus more re-typing a lost file. I'm also changing a tire and leveling a camper (procrastinating) moving debris and waiting on a delivery. How is your day?

@col_bosch I hope they are fun dogs!

Good Morning, Beautiful People!!! Today is Monday, June 14, 2021 with a predicted lovely high of 86F. I am changing a tire today, writing a chapter and doing some small projects in my camper like leveling it etc. I need to retype a short story whose file is lost. What about you?

Consider this as an option to growing your fan base. Since you are releasing privately and not through a website, it isn't being published and you retain your rights. You can post as closed .pdf so the copy can't be easily captured. #FaysWritingTips #WritingCommunity #novels

I am writing in a niche market and I have found lots of ongoing readers giving me beta feedback. I do write fast so chapter releases are every other day or so. These readers are on an email list for the chapters and they are passing it around to friends in the niche too.

Are you writing in a niche market? This is an important question. Usually this means a sub-genre of a sub-genre for a real niche. If so you may be able to locate social media or magazines focused on just this market. Target them for your book. #FaysWritingTips #writingcommunity

In breast news, my bruise is down to a fading crescent on the lower half of the breast. It no longer hurts but there is still lumpy under the skin. I am trying to go braless most of the time to 'encourage' healing and because I detest bras.

Book Marketing: Today is Monday and that means focusing on your book marketing. As always, start with a budget and a plan. If you are struggling with both, start with basic research. Spend 20 minutes researching marketing options. #FaysWritingTips #bookmarketing #writing

Book Marketing: I can't stress the importance of building an email fan base strongly enough. These are readers who are enthusiastic about your writing who, once sucked in, will troll around for other books by you too. These are early buyers who will REVIEW. #FaysWritingTips

Book Marketing: I have an ongoing book in a highly specific market. I targeted that niche with the opportunity to read the novel as I write it. This has been highly successful and I recommend it to others who have that option as well. #FaysWritingTips #writingcommunity #books

@HenryJKraven Bad Internet (ATT is putting in new banks for new construction nearby) and I'm quite busy. I'm not gone, just MIA for a bit. Will have more time shortly.

In other news, Arthur (my new novel) is generating a lot of new email fans of both genders (always a good sign). I'm up to chapter 13 today. Each fan is acting as a beta reader so I'm getting a lot, lot of feedback ongoing. It has some controversial content so lots of discussion.

Good Morning, Beautiful People!!! Today is Saturday, June 12, 2021 with a predicted lovely high of 85F. I am changing tires today (2) and doing some shopping for long-needed items so I will be busy. Healing well now though persistent boob bruise. How is your weekend going?

@TrulyJuxta well, mine protrude beyond the rest of my body so they became my shock absorbers...

@FayThompsonAuth I don't think I can fall on my breasts, I think my massive belly (and it massive) would cushion the blow

My recommendation: Don't fall on your breasts. OWWIE. I didn't do a lot physically as I am in healing mode over last week but did a lot of writing as that didn't hurt.

@TrulyJuxta we are surrounded by instant experts...

@FayThompsonAuth corporations aren't taking up my space last night I had a mutual try to control my diabetes management because he worked at a gym once and talked to a few powerlifters, so he thinks he qualified to control my diabetes management, that ain't a corporation

How much does your brain space cost? Organizations want it for free. Stop giving permission for toxic messages to enter and torture you from the inside out. Hit the off button and get back to writing your novel, yes you can still drink wine to 'deal' with the world.
