The High’s
I’m beginning to reach a point in my writer’s life where it seems that every day a new little surprise happens. Sometimes it’s a sudden, unexpected boost in sales of my books. Sometimes it’s being asked to be interviewed by local media or writer’s blogs. Sometimes it’s communicating with a world famous author on a personal level (which happened recently). And sometimes it’s just discovering someone has placed a great review of your work. Here’s another five-star review.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story! December 3, 2013
By jskilestn (Seymour, TN, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Drop Out (Kindle Edition)
Realistic and detailed and inspiring to live life to the fullest. Will bring forth an assortment of emotions but foremost will be to enjoy life, press toward your dreams......and don't let anyone or anything stop you!
*******************
All of these highs of the writing life didn’t happen overnight. There were years of sacrifice and self-doubt. There were thousands of dollars spent on editing and critiquing. Hundreds of rewrites and rejections. Months of pure stagnation where nothing happened to further my writing career. But then just when thoughts of giving up meandered into my brain, I’d gain another blog follower, or book sales would increase, or I’d be asked to do an interview. And the high comes back.
My point is success doesn’t happen overnight. A writer may toil for years without experiencing one high, or a writer may experience a high on the completion of their first draft, or even first paragraph, dependant on your goals and expectations of the writing life. The high’s of writing are why we do it. Compare receiving a five-star review from a stranger to downing a bottle of vodka and I bet you’ll find the review-high a better buzz in the long run. You’ll also feel a whole lot better in the morning.

Just proud, that’s all.
Just checked my author page and I was very pleased to see another two, five-star reviews. One for my literary suspense, DROP OUT and the other for my paranormal, AFTER have been placed on Amazon. I don’t post my reviews to gloat or brag, and Lord knows very few of us authors are getting wealthy by writing; I post my reviews because I am proud of them.
In this era of authors swapping a review for a review and paid review services, how is an author who partakes in these practices ever going to truly judge how good their material is? If another writer is giving you five stars because they want you to give their book five stars, or you’re paying someone to give you five stars then who really wins in the end? Well, I’ll tell you who loses, all of us writers and readers.
Fake or insincere reviews lure unsuspecting readers into buying a book that may actually be substandard or even terrible. Then what happens? The reader will be leery or reluctant to ever buy another book from that author or an unknown author again. Or worse, they may post just how terrible the book really is thereby contradicting the good reviews to such a point that all readers may steer clear.
I post my reviews because they are from real readers who have discovered and purchased my books on their own. Not a single review is from a family member or friend. I am proud of my books and even prouder of my reviews for they above all else they justify my talent and the monumental amount of time I take to make certain my books are ready for the world to enjoy. Two new five-star reviews from two different genres. Please check them out.

Always intriguing, Ostroff leads you down an astonishing, exciting path. Surprises at every turn. His worlds are brilliant. Must read.
DROP OUT –
5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and heartwarming, November 25, 2013
By Shannon Williams - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase (What's this?)
This review is from: Drop Out (Kindle Edition)
Great story with a real attachment to the characters. Very inspiring. I enjoyed the unique view of the real beauty of life.

I do take the good with the bad and although DROP OUT has received a two-star review (I understand everyone has their own tastes and opinions) the other nearly two-dozen five-star reviews affirms my faith in not only that book but all my other books as well.

What may work part # 2
If you follow my blog you know I’ve been trying a lot of the latest online marketing and promotion websites for writers. I started with four last week which are listed on my last post. So far, I have seen an increase in sales for DROP OUT, which is the book that I’m promoting most. Surprisingly, sales for my other books have also increased. I believe this is due to reader’s curiosity about my other material stemming from the marketing of DROP OUT.
This week I also tried another new website for authors called Author Marketing Club. This is a relatively new site with plenty of new apps designed to help promote your book. I joined for one year at @ $100, but I would highly recommend you join per month at @ $20 before committing to see if it’s for you. Here’s why.
They have a great app that lets you add font size and color to your Amazon descriptions on the description page. This greatly emphasizes the look and appeal of the description. I’ve done it with all but two of my books. The reason for the last two is because I mistakenly provided their descriptions on the Amazon Author Central page, which the AMC code won’t work. The other descriptions for my books are now enhanced and you can check them out through my blog to see what I mean.
AMC also offers several other neat apps including one that pulls the emails of readers who have given reviews to books similar to yours in the past. AMC gives you a template on which to send potential reviewers asking to review your book. I tried it for ten reviewers and only got one response as a no, but, it’s worth a try if you can get a reviewer interested.
Lastly, I highly recommend all authors get on Goodreads if you’re not on it already. Since Amazon purchased the site, I’ve had a lot more readers adding my books to their to-read shelves than ever before. Perhaps, it’s because of all the marketing I’m doing? Or it might be because Amazon is making it easier for readers to link up. Whatever is happening out there in cyber-space it is definitely benefitting authors if they know how to apply the technology. Five years ago, I could never have imagined that I’d have the amount of books sales and readers that I do today. Never give up the dream!

What may or may not work
It’s that time of year again when I try many of the new marketing and promotional websites that have popped up and are available to authors and then my report on the results. So far, I’ve booked out $119.95 worth of services from four different sites for my suspense novel, DROP OUT. Here they are.
The first thing I tried was ebookbooster. For $25 the site sends your title and link to 25 sites that will promote it for free. Not all the sites guarantee that you’ll be featured however, but the sites do personally contact you and let you know they’ve received the material so I know that ebookbooster did what they said they’d do.
The second site is askdavid.com. Not much of promotional platform, but for $15 they will feature all of my books on the site and have dedicated pages for them. Their Alexa ranking is below 60,000 so people are hitting the site. I figured the exposure was worth the inexpensive price.
The third site was goodkindles. Again, this was a site that I figured was worth the price in exposure. I purchased their top promotional package for $19.95, figuring an audience of a few thousand will see the book. It should pay for itself if just a small percentage of their audience buys the book.
The final promotion package was a little pricier. It’s on Digitalbooktoday. The site appears to get a lot of hits and caters to people who love ebooks. I purchased a spot on their romance page for two weeks for $20. I also purchased a gold display for a week in December. This puts DROP OUT right beside the home page title. The site averages @ 10,000 hits a week. So again, I’m going for exposure here.
There you have it. All this starts happening within a week, so I should see results by the end of the month. I’ve always said, it’s not about how many books you sell in a day, it’s about how many readers see your book, buy your book, love your book, and then tell their friends about your book. That’s how you build an audience. And the only way to do that is by being all over the internet.

Weather and writing
I woke up today to the first snowfall of the year. To some that brings joy, to others (like me) it brings dread. I’m a warm weather soul but I must admit that the cold weather does have some advantages. I get a heck of a lot more writing done.
Everyone knows that it’s tough to sit inside working on a story when the sun is shining bright and the birds are calling you to enjoy the outside. And even if you’re lucky enough to have a laptop or be working on hard copy and are able to be with nature, it’s still hard to concentrate when there’s so much warbling about.
For me, with the cold weather comes isolation and a valid excuse to spend the day in my jammies cranking out characters and scenes on the page. It also helps in the fact that I am finishing a new novel and the extra gray outside is keeping me focused on the task at hand.
Some of my favorite scenes have been written on blustery days such as this, it seems nasty weather brings the muse indoors with me. So here I sit, sipping my hot coffee, watching the bare trees sway and shiver with the wind, writing the final paragraphs of a novel I started last winter. If there were a definition of a perfect writing environment, I would say at this moment I am immersed in it.

The end time
Like most authors when I’m writing a book I usually write a terrible first draft. Pages filled with scrawled ideas and bland dialogue. I work on this first draft non-stop, sometimes for weeks until I get a good solid manuscript-length of material. But there is one thing I never do, and that is to write the end of the book.
When about eighty-percent of the first draft is written I go back and re-read the entire thing a second time. This second read allows me to clean up all the details and sharpen the plot and dialogue. But I still do not write the end portion, as is the case with my latest book.
After a second full read I spend an enormous amount of time, sometimes for months, picking up the manuscript and reading random sections, seeing if it grabs my attention in whatever scene that is occurring, while editing and making certain each section is as tight as it can be. At this point, I start to formulate an idea of how I want the story to end. I begin keeping a notebook and jot down ‘ah ha’ moments (parts in the story that I can foreshadow and use at the end) as they occur. Though I usually still do not know how everything will wrap up.
After many months of cleaning, polishing, and summing up all the subplots, characters, and scenes, I give the worked manuscript another full read from the beginning to the point where I am now, about to write the last section. This final read before writing the end is often terrifying. Sometimes I wonder if I can actually write the last section or if all my hard work will have been for naught. The fear that no ending will suffice often burns through me until it is actually written. Sometimes, I worry that the end won’t live up to the story.
Then, like a M80 firecracker exploding inside my skull, the solution came to me on how my latest book must end. This moment of clarity is illuminating and I nearly couldn’t write in my notebook my ideas for the finale fast enough. It is as if the ending section is a psychic gift from a higher source.
I am about to put these quickly scrawled ideas into my computer and I know now exactly how this book will end and it’s blowing my mind and I hope will blow reader’s minds also. I won’t reveal the title of my latest just yet (hint, hint… it’s hidden in this article) but it is a dystopian novel set fifty years after humanity has driven away an alien attack force. The book should be available by the Christmas season.

Does blogging sell books?
Does blogging sell books? This is the question every author who blogs wants an answer to. Well, I have my own opinion and I believe that the answer is yes, but not for the obvious reason of exposure.
I believe authors who blog become better writers because unlike fiction, which requires the writer to immerse themselves into their imagination, blogging, which is mostly nonfiction, requires a different type of thought process. Blogging forces the fiction writer into another genre.
Blogging helps to sell books simply because it makes a better author of those books. If I stumble upon an author blog and I like the material the author blogs about I will take a look at the books they’ve written. I concede to the notion that the quality of blog posts indicates the quality of the manuscripts written.
Blogging allows the author to share daily updates of their works, engaging their readers into the process of writing the book itself. It allows reclusive writers the chance to interact with their fans without ever leaving the safety of their writer’s cave. Blogging sells books not because of exposure, but because it humanizes the author whose writing the books. It brings the writer’s soul into the mind of the reader and there is no better way of gaining a following than that.
I started my blog a few years ago and was delighted when I got my first follower. I remember when my page view counter hit one thousand and I nearly burst into tears of joy. I couldn’t believe that absolute strangers were interested in and reading my posts. Now, at well over a quarter million hits with an average page view of two hundred to five hundred hits per day, I find that I get as much pleasure out of interacting with my followers as I do writing my fiction. And at the end of the day it makes more people interested in the books that I’ve written.

Top selling author
It’s been said that a true writer will experience a multitude of dizzying highs and terrifying lows during the course of his or her lifetime. To make art, one must suffer whether mentally, spiritually, or monetarily to get the true juices-of-expression flowing.
I’ve been feeling a little down lately at the state of the publishing world and I know it’s shown in a few of my recent posts. I’ve been worried that the marketplace is over-saturated with hastily written books by amateur writers and that these writers are diluting the effectiveness of book sponsorships. That said; an amazing thing happened to me the other day.
Out of the blue, Ereader News Today contacted me to let me know that they were going to feature my book, DROP OUT on the site. That in itself would be amazing considering the millions of indie books that are vying for a spot on the website and you cannot pay for one. What’s even more amazing is this is the second time they’ve picked my book.
The first time went very well with sales in the hundreds and my Amazon ranking getting to @ 1,200 in the paid Kindle store and #75 in my genre. As an author, that was thrilling to see. But this second time was even better. My Amazon rank got below 800 in the entire paid Amazon store and to #23 in my genre. And as I write this, I’m still below #3,500 ranking in the entire paid store.
My point is, just when you think all the time you spend writing and promoting is useless in today’s flooded marketplace a little miracle happens to make it all worthwhile. If I never sell another book after today, I can at least say that for two whole days I was a top selling author. Thank you Ereader News Today and I thank whatever forces were at work to make this happen. My faith in writing as an art form has been renewed.
