Why I, a Writer with Loner Tendencies, Join (and Love) Writers’ Organizations by Patricia Stoltey

Weekend Follies and Lots More!

[image error] Wow! Lots going on today. Let’s get busy!
Small Things: I’m thankful for watching my kids make breakthroughs in studying. “I don’t get it.” Ugh! If I hear that phrase one more time. But I will. 

However, the day comes when they shrug me off and say, “I can do this myself.” Will they remember Mom and Dad’s hard work, sacrifice, nagging, and persarverence to bring them to this point. Probably. When they have kids and go through the same thing. [image error]

Weekend Follies

Example Of Successful Promotion: Here is an example of a writer using the Free Kindle Books promotion with amazing results. Morgan Mandel from my Yahoo!

How To Do A Goodreads Book Recommendation

[image error] In light of this Monday’s W4WS, I thought I would do a quick post on How To Do A Goodreads Book Recommendation. This is a great way to help a fellow blogger or blogette promote their book to your GR friends, who may also return the favor and recommend your book.
We can do a practice GR Book Recommendation right now. Log into your GR Page, then type in L. Diane Wolfe’s recent release How to Publish and Promote Your Book Now! (or any other book of your choosing) into the search box at the top o...
