What Tired but True Marketing Tool Am I Making Poor Use of?

February 22, 2022

There is one marketing tool I am not using at all like I could/should be. Most digital marketing focus is on social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and the like have the potential to reach ginormous audiences to spread your message, promote your work, and get you seen. They can be tremendously helpful on multiple levels. Writers and other artists employ social media to do marketing. This can take many different forms, and

How Do You React to Endings When You Reach Them?

February 19, 2022

Endings come in many sizes, shapes, and forms in fiction, nonfiction, and reality. Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. This is true of every fiction and nonfiction book that you could read or write, as well as reality. We, in these meat suits we occupy for a century or so, begin and end. Along the way, most of what we experience falls into the very wide middle. Some endings are very cut and

Branding and Rebranding to Create Balance, Grow, and Improve Sales

February 15, 2022

I have done branding and rebranding several times. In the fall of 2016, I began to put a LOT more effort into both my fiction and nonfiction writing. I had begun to post blogs at least three times a week and was working on my fiction to publish. The question that arose at the time was this – how do I brand myself? I was starting to create more fiction – sci-fi, fantasy, and Steampunk

What Do You Do When You Lose a Useful Marketing Outlet?

February 12, 2022

And just like that – *poof* – a useful marketing outlet is silenced. I know I’m not the only one to have had this experience. This morning, as I started up my computer, I saw an odd request from Facebook. I knew it was legit, so I followed it. And then, just like that – I’m locked out of my account. Excuse me? I have never posted anything I imagine is all that controversial, nor

Why and How Do I Think Sci-Fi and Fantasy Appeal to Us?

February 8, 2022

Why does anything appeal to us? I’m sharing my thoughts on the appeal of sci-fi and fantasy. I was not quite five years old. My mom and dad took me to see a movie. The opening music blared, the words crawled up the screen, and then a starship soared in – being fired on by another, bigger ship. To say I was immediately hooked I think is an understatement. Though I don’t recall any other

How Has my Winning 2022 Writing Plan Been Changed?

February 5, 2022

My writing plan for 2022 is shifting. And I am still working out how. In 2020, I’d determined it was time to start writing and publishing more. Thus, I published 3 books that year. For 2021, I got super ambitious. I was going to publish 6 novels total. All four that made up the first story arc for Forgotten Fodder and 2 more Void Incursion novels. I succeeded. At the end of 2021, I was
