Let’s Get Serious About our Business–Writing or Whatever Else That Is!
There comes a time in one's life when one decides to quit faffing around and get serious.
Whether it's to actually get paid for writing, to make a living selling your product, whatever it is, or promote your business to your profession (all three of which I'm doing right now…) or to just declare yourself and make that dream of yours happen.
When one fully recognizes that the social media publicity one has built has a finite life… like, only as long as their algorithms work in your favour… like, only as long as they're still on the web… like, maybe they'll just not send your posts to anyone but your close friends… I could go on, but I think you get my drift.
It bothered me. I was feeling powerless at the idea that all these years of work: writing, editing, building portable horse stocks, a vet practice, being a mum, (you name it, I've spent a lot of time doing it all, as a solo mum with two boys from 18 mos and five years old…), could end in nothing if I depended on what' I've been building.
I could whine, I could rant, but what's the point? I had to face it. I'd rather swim than sink. I had to think of something different, look outside the square.
SO what can you do about it? What am I doing about it?
It's a big side-hustle for some of us, I'd say probably most of us. There is the partner, then there are the kids, the dogs, the horses, the farm… and oh, I almost forgot, the day job.
What's a little day job? Insignificant? Well, it's still needed to pay the bills until this empire is built. Whatever empire that is.
And now I'm about to tell you to take more time.
Nuts, eh?
Well, it depends upon what you see as your potential outcome.
How big you're prepared to dream.
SO, a friend of Matt's, and now mine, was here a little over a year ago. He's a very spiritual fencing master (Medieval and otherwise) from the UK, Finland, and, I suspect, a lot of other places. 
He's also been writing books about his hobby–NO, his JOB… The hobby he's turned into a profession. And done a darn good job of it. Here's his latest book…
And he didn't create it by just sitting around when he wasn't teaching a class.
He's been writing, researching, and writing some more.
Oh, and he's just completed a PhD as well, with two littlies and a wife… and traveling around the world teaching.
He's taught himself what he needed to know about building an empire where he is in control of who-buys-what.
I wanted to know how.
I was lucky he was willing to tell me.
I wrote it all down (yes, in my abysmal handwriting),
bit the bullet,
and got started.
It's taken me a while, but in the process, I've…
1-built a decent website, (well, as I usually overdo things, that first one was four websites in one, but don't go there. I've just split off two of them and built a new website for https://equistillstocks.com and https://bmevc.co.nz this past week), all with the help of a free 5-day website challenge. It's free, but I'd suggest you get the $19.00 upgrade, it's worth it on all kinds of levels.
Shannon the Optimistic Teacher of Web Development! Thanks Shannon!Our websites are Bluehost-hosted , WordPress.org sites, (not WordPress.com, which are too limiting) as recommended by the 5-day challenge. The plan we bought includes 24/7 phone tech support. Brilliant.
Theme Foundry, the company which makes and supports the Make and Make Plus theme which I used with WordPress (again, recommended by the 5-day challenge) offers extremely useful email support. The CSS I've gotten from them… I can't say enough good things about them, either. 
I then…
2-swallowed my panic at the $30/month price tag on ConvertKit, the email management for creators program I now love… and that make it so easy. Seriously easy, once you figure out how to do their forms. The 5-day challenge walks you through it, too. This lets you create good looking messages to your people, doesn't duplicate your mailing list members, and lets you use the same single list with tags to attribute them to your different groups. You can you run all of your businesses through one place, and is amazing. And this month they're letting you try it for FREE for a month! Good time to give it a go!
Next, I …
3-subscribed to Gumroad, which I'll use to sell books on my website… It's next on the agenda. I'll tell you about it after I've used it for awhile! There are even some other helpful companies listed in my Resources tab here.
4-And, it's all happening! So where does this leave you? Are you ready to jump? Dip in a toe? Nothing?
It's your life, but for those who want to get stuck in, I've made it simple.
It's all in that Resources tab.
Do you dare to touch it?
The Free 5-Day Challenge, Bluehost, ConvertKit, etc., etc. They're all in there. Some are affiliate links, which mean if you buy them, I get paid a little for advertising for them. I'd rather we little people get something out of their advertising budget than some big conglomerate.
Especially when I love the product.
And that's the only time I'll promote one. Those of you who know me understand this. In my vet life as well as my writing and promo life.
So go on, get that toe wet, and maybe, just maybe, you'll soon dive in! Come on in, the water's fine!
So now it's your turn! What have you found that's making a difference to your reaching for or attaining your goals?
What do you think of the ones I've put out there?
Let me know!

First is my recipe~
This recipe is in my first novel, A Long Trail Rolling. Aleksandra, my heroine, is of Polish descent, where the winters are harsh and unforgiving. This hearty stew, typical of the ‘sour' soups common and beloved by many Eastern Europeans, captured my heart on our visit to Poland a few years ago. 
I've modified several versions… again, and again, until I managed to get it just right. Many of the Poles I asked for recipes just looked at me sideways.
“It comes from a packet. We just add water,” said one, with a frown. The others just shook their heads. I mustn't have asked the right people!
photo credit and thanks to http://memocreo.com/One cannot simply buy Żurek here in New Zealand, but it's well worth the time it takes to make it. Thank you to the Glinkowski family, third generation owners of Glinkowski Carriages, for sharing with us their love of Poland and Żurek. After leaving them, we tasted different versions of it in every town we visited around Polska.
Recipe: Żurek
Zakwas (“ZAH-kvahss,”) –Sourdough Rye Starter Culture (below)
2 cups rye flour
1/2 cup oat flakes
3-4 cupswater, boiled and cooled to room temperature
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Crusts of a piece of Polish rye bread (remove after 2-3 days to prevent mold) or a few tablespoons of sourdough starter
Mix in a nonreactive vessel (glass, stainless steel, stoneware) and leave in warm place (70-80 F / 20-27 C) to ferment for 2-5 days until bubbly and as sour as you wish, then use it to make żurek.
The resulting culture: After I use some to make żurek, I refresh the rest by ‘feeding it' more kibbled/cracked rye or rye flour and water, as Aleksandra's mother did in the story. Leave out, covered, to ferment overnight then refrigerate. When it hasn't been used for a while, liquid will accumulate on top and be less active. Stir it and replenish as above. With this starter, I can make żurek whenever I want and also use it as a starter in sourdough rye bread recipes.
Żurek or zur or biały barszcz (“ZHOO-rek”,”BYAH-wih BARSHCH”)
White Borscht or Sour Rye Soup
Serves 6
1-2 onions, minced
fat or oil for frying
1 lb bacon, chopped (450 g)
1-2 lb Polish kielbasa sausage (pork/beef) in ½ – 1 inch slices (450-900 g)
Spices: 1 T marjoram, 2 whole allspices, 6 peppercorns, 1 bay leaf
6 cups boiling water or stock
2 cups zakwas
½ cup cultured sour cream
vegetables (carrots, peas, mushrooms, parsnips) in small pieces, if desired
salt and pepper to taste.
To serve:
5-6 eggs, boiled and cut into wedges or quarters
4-5 potatoes, boiled and hot, cut into quarters or cubes
rye bread or trenchers
In large soup pot, brown chopped onion till translucent, then add bacon and cut up sausage. Stir-fry until browned (some prefer to prick sausages and cook them whole in the liquid soup, then cut up later). Add spices and boiling water or stock. Add zakwas, while whisking. This will thicken the soup. If you used oat flakes, you may wish to strain the zakwas but I don't strain it, as I also use kibbled rye in my starter. They cook down.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. If it has thickened enough, add the sour cream. If not, stir one tablespoon flour into the sour cream before adding, then bring to boil again and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. I make (at least) a double recipe, as it is better the next day or after freezing.
To serve, ladle soup over potatoes and eggs placed into the bottom of individual bowls or make bread trenchers to use in their place! Cheat by horizontally cutting the top off of a large bun to create a lid (or cut a hole out of the top as you would a Jack O'Lantern pumpkin). Hollow the bread out and ladle the soup into it.
Serve with rye bread.
(What else?)
I hope you love Żurek!

CyCon 2018: Come on By and See What it’s About!
Welcome! Thanks for coming along to my website!
The other theme of this blog hop is True Life Inspirations, which pleases me, as there are one, or two, as the case may be, in my first novel. My True Life Inspiration story is about a horse named “What?”, and his Pony Express Rider, George Scovell. It’s part ofA Long Trail Rolling, Book One of The Long Trails series.
“What?” I hear you say.
Yes, “What?” It’s a horse’s name. A real Pony Express mount… and his awesome rider.
Prior warning: Aleks is a bit of a stroppy chick… Can’t imagine where I got the inspiration for her… LOL.
Excerpt from A Long Trail Rolling:
“—and this,” Xavier handed her a leather sheet with two slots in it, “is your mochila. It—”
“It fits over—” Aleksandra blurted out.
Again. Dios mío! He adored this chica, but she was driving him mad with her impatience and dogged determination about everything. “—it fits over the saddle,” he resumed, glaring at her.
She looked down at the ground. “Sorry,” she muttered, sounding anything but. Scowling, she stood with arms crossed, her fingernails digging into the sides of her buckskin shirt.
“Aleks, there is a list I need to cover with you before you ride. I still have serious doubts about letting you go, but if you’ll listen, you might survive just that little bit longer.”
She stared down at the toe of her boot tapping the ground, then lifted her eyes to his. He could swear she rolled her eyes.
His own narrowed. “You can ride this portion of the trail because it’s safer out here. All the Indian trouble is more than a hundred miles west of here. You’ll be right out of it.”
Raising an eyebrow at him, she smirked and seemed about to make some comment, but held her peace.
I wonder what I’m missing here.
“Look, Aleksandra, you seem to think this is a joke. Station keepers have been dying out there.”
Her face fell. “Yes,” she said, with a little less certainty.
“I haven’t told you about “What?” yet, have I?”
“What?” She frowned, but uncrossed her arms and left off wringing her buckskins to listen, raising one eyebrow and looking at him from beneath her lashes, jaw tensed.
“You don’t seem to understand my concern,” he spoke slowly, word by word.
“What is a “what”?” She still looked annoyed, but curiosity got the better of her.
He held his breath for a moment.
“Young George Scovell, an Express rider, nearly died a few weeks ago in an ambush,” he growled. “What? was an Express Mustang named for his question mark-shaped blaze. Going through the aspen bottoms west of Chokup Pass, What? was uneasy, flicking his ears back and forth, when swarms of arrows flew out of the brush beside them. They were chased by more than thirty Indian braves for over three miles into Diamond Springs Station. They got there, despite two arrows in Scovell’s leg and poor What? full of eleven more.”
“Oh.” Aleksandra’s attitude and scowl melted, her eyes pooling tears.
“That pony delivered Scovell safely, then collapsed. When they got rid of the Indians, Scovell put him out of his pain with a shot to the forehead and buried that pony, right next to the station.”
“He buried him,” she whispered. Eyes glowing through wet lashes, she gave him a crooked grin.
“That was his last ride for the Pony. Dead horses are usually left for scavengers, but young George felt pretty strongly about What?. On his way back East, George showed me his journal entry for the day, complete with a photo of the good horse that saved his life.
Aleksandra’s brow furrowed. “How did they protect themselves from the Indians?”
“Willie, the station keeper, dragged George into the station and defended it from the gun ports until the Indians left. Luckily the cedar post stockade and stone station house were difficult to set alight, so they survived.
“Now do you understand why I want you to listen?” He pulled her into his arms and tugged on her braid. “It would be nice to keep your hair, no?”
Aleksandra looked down at the ground, finally still. “I am ready to listen.” Xavier had to lean down to hear her whisper. “I apologize for making this difficult when you are only trying to keep me safe.”
“It’s okay,” Xavier held her tightly. “Shall we continue?” He raised an eyebrow at her and released her.
“I’m all ears,” she said, turning to face him.
The series:
The historical fiction sagas follow Aleksandra and Xavier from the wilderness of 1860 Utah to Colonial New Zealand.
In A LONG TRAIL ROLLING (Book 1), Aleksandra is alone and running to prevent her father’s killer from discovering their family secret. Disguised as a Pony Express rider in 1860’s Utah, she winds up in even deeper trouble when she rides full speed into the the Paiute Indian War. Can she and Xavier, her Californio boss, escape the Indians on the warpath, and evade the man who's already killed Aleksandra's father—and set his sights on her?
THE HILLS OF GOLD UNCHANGING (Book 2) follows Aleksandra and Xavier through the mining camps of 1860s' Nevada and California, the Sacramento floods and San Fran to Xavier's Rancho de las Pulgas. As the Civil War rages, secessionists menace California. Embroiled in the Confederates' fight to drag the new state from the Union and make it their own, can Aleks and Xavier survive? The secessionists mean business. No one will stand in their way—and live.
In A SEA OF GREEN UNFOLDING (Book 3), tragedy strikes in Aleksandra and Xavier’s newly-found paradise in California. Their friend, von Tempsky, invites them on a journey to adventure and a new life in peaceful 1862 New Zealand, but change is in the wind. They reach Aotearoa, only to discover the place is a turbulent wilderness—where the land wars between the European settlers and the local Māori have only just begun.
In TATIANA (Book 4), stableman's daughter Tatiana rises to glamorous heights by her equestrienne abilities—but the tsar's glittering attention isn't always gold. She and Vladimir are pawns in the emperor's pursuit of a secret weapon. Vladimir must find it—or lose Tatiana and their son, arrested and held as surety against his success. As the odds mount against them, can they find each other again—half a world apart? Coming soon!

How Many Rabbit Holes Can I Find?
The number of historical rabbit holes I can find down which to lose myself seems to be in direct proportion to the lack of time I currently have to do it. I find myself with three stiff deadlines in my writing world, and that's without the non-fiction books I have planned!
For instance, today I'm researching how fast Moskva, or as we know it, Moscow, was rebuilt after the French Invasion of Russia by Napoleon, or the Russian Patriotic War of 1812, depending upon your frame of reference. The dark bits are the part of Moskva that ended up burned. It was mostly wood, but the rebuild was a bit more permanent.
Of course, that leads to researching about the invasion itself, and the debacle of the French retreat–the staggering home (or not) of the remnants of the French army.
The French supply caches through the friendly countries they needed to traverse, Poland and Prussia, were well planned and executed. However, the supply trains accompanying the army, although fit for travel over central Europe's good roads, were no match for the Russian dirt tracks, especially when rain turned them into deep mires… and the supply wagons were left far behind.
Worse, the foraging to which his armies were accustomed in the more densely populated, farmed countryside of Europe was not possible in Russia.
Add Russia's scorched earth policy, and things get a little testy… especially when you take into account the fact that Napoleon planned to finish this war on the frontier, or by Smolensk, at the latest, and return home long before summer ended.
The Russian retreat, deeper and deeper into their own country, forced the French to follow in an attempt to engage their armies. Unfortunately, the French forces were dressed for summer… not a Russian winter…
Check out the temperatures on the early infographic below…
The width of the brown panel is indicative of the size of Napoleon's forces heading toward Moscow. The width of the black lines shows the size of forces upon their return. At the bottom is shown the temperatures on the return “march”.
The food Napoleon expected to find in Moskva… well, it was torched too… and the city evacuated ahead of them.
Not only were numbers in Napoleon's army lost due to fighting. Starvation, desertion, typhus and suicide took their toll as well.
The Cossacks didn't help much either. Used to the cold, and dressed for it, they harassed the French flanks, supply lines, and lagging bits of the retreating French army.
I don't think any of the highly trained French cavalry or wagon horses got out alive, except maybe Napoleon's… but who knows? He rode out in a sleigh, in the end. The army didn't have the ability to make caulked shoes that would've let their horses get traction in the snow and ice and there was nothing, zip, nada, for them to eat. Starved and depleted as the horses were, they were rewarded by providing food for the dying French troops.
All in all, a recipe for an incredible loss of life.
But where were we… oh yes, the rebuilding of Moskva after the fires set when the Muscovites evacuated before the French arrived, taking all supplies with them… leaving nothing for Napoleon's armies… not even a victory…
Arggghh! Lost again.
Those rabbit holes. Watch out for them!

Enjoy,
Lizzi
