Author - Release Thy Book
Good morning and welcome to Thursday Thoughts. What are we talking about today? The reluctant to release their book author. Do you know anyone like this?
We’ve all met someone like this. Their book has been edited, taking far longer than most do to go through edits because they’re asking if this sentence or that needs to be reworded, even though it’s perfectly fine. They’ll question every comma, period, question mark. This individual will wonder if they should add more chapters, so the reader understands the characters motivations.
Once you finally get them through editing, the individual in charge of ensuring this book is released in a timely manner sends the book off to be proofread. This person is hoping for a break, as they usually have several other authors they must tend to, but the insecure author will be emailing them many times a day, always asking if they should remove this sentence or do some more revisions.
Finally, the author is ready to go over their book one more time. They ignore the stricture that they can only make corrections for incorrect or misspelled words and incorrect or missing punctuation. They don’t think this rule applies to them, since they have this long list they’ve taken from their edited book they feel absolutely has to be changed.
After going through several rounds of corrections, where the person guiding this author toward publication is ready to throw in the towel, the book is being set up to be added to the queue for upload. The author is told there can be no more corrections. Alas, this author has a meltdown and demands they be allowed to make these very important changes in the attachment, or their book will never sell. Said attachment contains fifteen to twenty pages of changes, all of them items that have already been honed to perfection many times.
This is the point where the beleaguered individual handling this person’s book reaches meltdown. They’ve sent the book to the queue. It’s due to be released within hours. What they’ve just received will take them a lot longer than that to accomplish. The conundrum is huge, but there is a solution…
AUTHOR – RELEASE THY BOOK!
It’s really that simple. Let go of the book. You’ve done everything humanly possible to ensure your book is ready for the reading public. Instead of looking for more mistakes, put your attention into promotion for your release. Start talking up your book. Get fan interest. And you should also begin your next book, which will soon consume all of your attention and you’re no longer worried about the one that’s a pending release.

Just The Book
Good morning and welcome to wwwblogs. Today, we’re going to be talking about some of the faux pas you can make when submitting your book to a publisher.
First, with the ease of publishing these days, many authors decided they wanted to publish themselves. No publisher, no splitting the royalties, everything coming to them. This also means these authors are responsible for paying for cover art, editing, proofreading, and formatting; none of which is cheap. After a few years with small royalty payments, if any, and a nest egg that’s rapidly disappearing, they decide to seek out a publisher.
One might surmise these authors would be savvy about what it takes to get a book published. After all, they’ve spent some time in the trenches and have experienced just how hard it is to go this route alone. That can’t be further from the truth. I’m not saying all self-published authors are like this, but there are more than a few who can claim these awards
Mr. Must Include Pictures: this type of author has decided their book absolutely must be sent to the potential publisher with a mockup of the cover art they want inserted into the file. They explain this is so the publisher can see what needs to be done to create exactly what they want and there is no misunderstanding. Oftentimes, the cover art included is amateurish and not something any reputable publisher would use, but this author is adamant that the artist must replicate their dream cover exactly.
Generally, my response to this type of person is no thank you, although we do appreciate you submitting, we feel your book would do better elsewhere.
Ms. Fancy Fonts: it is a general rule that books should be submitted in Times New Roman font. It’s easy to read and the standard for most publishers. Granted, it’s not difficult to change the font to TNR, but some authors go a lot overboard with their fancy fonts. They’ll have curly, impossible to read fonts in a 20 point or higher size for the title and their name. Chapter titles are done in another font that is also curly and just as unreadable. The font for the body of their work will be Garamond or Harlow Solid Italic. Not impossible to read but not professional looking either.
You may have an interesting story, but I’m seeing a person who wants what they want and could be troublesome. Although, this time the book will be skimmed, to see if it’s workable and perhaps we can convince the author they need to go with a standard font.
The most difficult author to work with is Mr./Ms. Strange Formatting. Their book arrives but it’s not 8.5” x 11”. It’s 5.65” x 8.23” or some other unusual and unusable size. They swear they used a professional formatter to do their book, but these individuals pride themselves on making the books ready for upload to sales venues, which require 6”x9” or 5”x8”. Now, clearing formatting is generally rather easy. It’s not usually a reason to say no to a book, but if I have to go through your book to remove all the formatting, only to discover you’ve locked the size in place, I’m going to have to say no.
What it all comes down to is that being author means there are rules to follow. I realize there are some bloggers swearing you have to do this, that, and the other thing before submitting to a publisher, but your best bet on seeing what a publisher wants is to read and abide by their guidelines.

Discovering Self
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday Blog Share. Today, we’re talking about how teens can discover themselves. This is an important time for teens. They’ve moved from being a child whose life is defined by their family into seeking out their own identity. But when these teens are thrust into impossible situations, when they have questions that don’t appear to have answers, they’re left wondering exactly who they are.
Get Who Am I? on Amazon
Blurb
Brooke English never belongs. She changes schools twice a year, as often as her looks and name change. Her thoughts about belonging to her “family” get even more viral when they stop in Landry, Georgia. Then things start to go wrong. Then Brooke starts to have dreams.
Will she find the answers she wants? Or will her worst fears become reality?
Excerpt
“My name is Brooke English,” I whisper. “I’m sixteen-years-old – No! I’m eighteen. Why can’t I be my real age? – and I’m here because my daddy finally found a job – I really hate lying– and we had to leave Texas – California– so he can earn a living.”
The set script that Mama wrote while we drove cross-country last week burns on my tongue. I’ve never felt right about telling all these lies, even after my parents explained many times why it’s necessary.
So stupid. Like anyone would still be after Daddy after all these years. So what if he turned in his bosses for stealing from their company? It’s no big deal. We’ve read about a lot of other places where that happened. Why do I have to keep losing friends, and always move, and change my looks, age, and everything about me just because he told on his bosses?

Vary Your Sentences
Good morning and welcome to Monday Blogs. Today, we’re talking about how to vary your sentence lengths.
As authors, we are often tempted to write the story as it appears in our head. However, we all tend to get into a bad habit. We’ll do a long series of short sentences, from five to ten words. We’re looking for wording that attracts attention, tells the reader it’s a tense moment. This means, of course, shorter sentences that may seem choppy but add to the tension of the scene. Or we might be sailing along, in a perfect moment, and are regaling the reader with long, description filled sentences.
“What’s the harm in this?” you ask.
“Quite a bit,” I respond.
First of all, the most important reason to vary your sentence length is that you are engaging your reader. Sentences that are the exact same number of words for a paragraph or more create an effect where the reader may become bored or even worse, fall asleep. This type of action will lead them to think your story is not worth reading, even if your beta readers or critique group said you have the best book in the world.
A cautionary note here: your beta readers or critique group should never say this. If they are, it’s time to find new people to look at your story with a critical eye.
The next reason to vary sentence length, especially if you’re staying exclusively with short sentences, is that your reader will lose their breath. That’s right. Short sentences trigger the “it’s a frantic moment” part of the brain. A reader’s breathing becomes faster. They’re anticipating a big bang and are seriously disappointed when they don’t get one and you move on to using longer sentences in a huge group.
Finally, we should always write our stories how we speak. What does that mean? Listen not just to how you speak but also how others around you speak. Far too many authors craft a story around rules they’ve been told are important. Instead of going with “short sentences for upcoming action and long sentences for milder moments” set your story to the tune of how people speak. We don’t always talk in a staccato tone, sounding ready to lead the charge. Nor do we speak continuously in long sentences that leave us panting for breath. Our conversations are a mixture. Our best learning processes can come from simply looking around and seeing what other do. So is getting characters for our stories but that’s another blog for another day.

Making Up Lies
Good morning and welcome to Sunday Blog Share. Today we’re talking about the impact of a lie and why some people will use those instead of the truth.
Everyone wants to look important. We all want others to admire us for what they see as our important qualities. Teens are as vulnerable to a lack of attention as everyone else. Sometimes, they will make their lives seem more important by making up lies, those falsehoods can backfire on them.
Get The Lie on Amazon
Blurb
For high school siblings, Amy and Bryce, the night began with a football game. Bryce was stuck at home with a cold, brought on by an uncaring coach. Amy was in the stands, playing with the band whose funding had been taken away and given to the football team.
Her best friend, Jane, brought the band together to play a prank on the team in protest.
The prank went wrong. Horribly, tragically wrong.
And the lie that started it all would not stop.
Excerpt
The sun is peeping over the mountains all around us. The members of the Landry High School Band fill in the last of the holes where we placed our planned revenge to go off tonight. None of us has had any sleep since we woke up yesterday, yet we’re charged up and ready for the rest of today and well into tonight.
“Where are your friends?” I ask.
Jane Preston, my bestie, the true mastermind of this prank, smirks at me.
Her light brown hair flies around her face in the early morning breeze. She swipes a few strands away from her pinched mouth and grimaces. Jane is always angry, always ready to take revenge for what she sees as a slight against her. Her slender body hunches forward, what she calls a protection method against all of her enemies. A lot of people don’t like her. I’m her only real friend. That’s because I feel sorry for her. Honesty turned on… a trait I value not only in myself but everyone close to me… I sometimes wish that Jane will stop being so weird and mean, and learn to be part of the group.
And she won’t let me alone whenever I try to get away from her. Jane would make more friends if she tried a little harder. It’s like she enjoys scaring people, so they don’t get close to her. But she’s always complaining about how everyone hates her.

Don't Insert Yourslef into the Story
Good morning and welcome to Sharing Saturday. Our discussion today will focus on the omnipotent viewpoint. This plot device plot device is rarely used. For good reason, as it is difficult to master and the author often tends to tell the reader what they should be seeing and feeling.
Omnipotent viewpoint is generally done from the third person perspective. It’s a method of storytelling where the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all characters. Generally, this is used to bring to life the entire world of characters to give them significant depth and meaning.
All that being said, I recently ran across a book where the author inserted omnipotent viewpoint near the middle of each paragraph. Through the use of this viewpoint, they explained every action and thought of the characters introduced and explained what they would do in the future. Only after going through everything the author felt was necessary to the story, would the reader be allowed to move on.
In other words, this author was so unsure of their story, they were telling the reader what they should expect from each character, how those actions would meld together to create a plot the reader was to uneducated to understand, unless the author introduced every element with a full explanation.
Yes, the author was telling the reader what to expect and when to expect it. Most readers I know would shut such a book immediately and not even bother to leave a review.
Why would they do that?
Readers are smart. They know what they like and they certainly don’t need an explanation to figure out what’s going on in the story. If you, as the author, feel that you haven’t conveyed enough information for the reader to figure this out, you need to go through your story, stay with your viewpoint characters, and fix the problem.
In my opinion, omnipotent (or omniscient) viewpoint is completely unnecessary in any type of fiction. It gives the reader a God-like character directing the action from above and ensuring they understand the plot intricacies. This is a crutch, where good writing and a terrific beta reader can present a better book without telling the reader what is about to happen.

The Care and Feeding of Your Publisher
Good morning and welcome to Friday Feelings. Today, we’re talking about the care and feeding of your publisher.
If you’ve been lucky enough to have received a contract offer from a publisher, there are a few things you need to know and do. First, understand a traditional publisher won’t charge you for anything that’s necessary for your book to be published. That’s right, the cover art, editing, proofreading, formatting, everything is done for you. Granted the publisher takes a percentage of your earnings from sales, giving you the rest (the average is anywhere from 15% to 40%). A traditional publisher won’t publish your ebook first and then say you’ll have to pay X amount of dollars for another round of editing, a new cover so it can be used on your print book, or anything else. Those types of publishers, the ones who charge money for anything, are vanity publishers.
Now that you understand this, please bear in mind most small traditional publishers have a very limited staff. There might be a CEO, COO, Editor in Chief, and perhaps a cover artist they employ. Or perhaps they’re lucky enough to have one of their staff talented enough to make the cover art. If they have a large number of authors, their days are often limited to dealing with the authors waiting for their book to be published, but will make time for their other authors.
These overworked individuals are often authors themselves, so their off time is just that. They are not at work—kind of like your day job boss can’t call, text, or PM you two hours after you got home and tell you that you need to give him an answer on something immediately.
One thing authors need to remember is your publishing company’s staff is humans, just like you are. Always approach them as you’d like to be approached yourself. Remember that they have a heavy work load and you should email them the way you’d like to be spoken to in a professional letter. Even if you are upset, there is no reason to start your letter with… “Listen, you idiot. I told you this is what I wanted. Fix this. Now!”
Bet that sounded pretty good when written while you were steaming mad. Now, think of sending an electronic letter to your day job boss with that tone. What would your chances of being employed with that company be once the boss read it? Yeah, you’re right. You’d be out looking for another job.
The same thing goes for any type of communication with the staff. They are human. Picking fights, acting as if you are in charge is only going to get you relegated to the last email answered that day. After all, why should they have to spend a lot of time calming down before they speak with the other authors?

They Who Attack
Good morning and welcome to Thursday Thoughts. Today, we’re addressing a topic that has, unfortunately, become rather prevalent lately. Can you believe there are authors bashing other authors on social media? Some of today’s authors have decided the way to deal with another author they’re upset at is to bully them.
This first came to my attention when I noticed a post during March that chilled my blood in a way it hasn’t been for many years. I was reading a post about an author who is also a cover artist being bullied by a group of eighty authors who sent her PMs via Facebook. They were telling her to kill herself because of something another author had alleged. Now, the meaning behind this particular move by this author didn’t become clear until much later; it was something to do with cover art. The exact details are unclear, since those who did the bullying and drove the author being attacked to attempt suicide never once mentioned their dastardly deed and the reasons behind it until after they’d been outed by the writer community.
This was the second mistake they made. The first being to attack a woman until she literally thought suicide was her only option. Not owning up to what they were being asked to do before they did it has many in the rather large writer community actively searching for those involved. None of us want to be associated with someone who would do something so heinous.
Let me be blunt here. If the accusation was right, if the person who was bullied did take original artwork from another author’s book and use it to make a cover for another author, that was wrong. However, since this information didn’t come out until these people had literally shamed a person into attempting to take their own life, many people don’t accept their excuse. I am one of those people.
Bullying in any way, shape, form, or for any reason is unacceptable. There are other, more professional ways of dealing with what happened. The authors involved in this problem have yet to identify themselves. To be honest, doing so, even if they do apologize for their actions, won’t change the outcome. The writer community has made it known that if they discover any of their author friends were involved in this act, these people will be shunned. We cannot and will not accept bullying of anyone, no matter what they are alleged to have done, and especially in this matter.
In this twenty-first century of indie and self-published authors, we must remember one thing. We must work together in order to succeed. We can’t tear each other down, or we will end up struggling even harder than we already are.

Breaking News and the Author
Authors are as human as everyone else. We are passionate about our stories, our livelihoods, and about the world around us. Yet, as a public figure, we have to be very careful how we respond to current events.
This has never been so evident as it has after latest school shooting. Sides have been chosen and if you aren’t firmly with the side claiming to be out for the safety of the children, you are the enemy. Unfortunately, those claiming to be for the safety of the children are using tactics certain to inflame those who chose to remain silent, or at least are avoiding involvement with the most recent spate of “bash the administration for their lack of action.”
Authors are looking at this time as a defining moment, where they can cash in on the popularity of these teens making demands that be done now! It is very tempting to create a story of these teenagers demanding action for a situation that is becoming all too familiar. There is also a drawback to working this piece of breaking news into a story.
Stories like this are often here today and gone tomorrow. Once there is another situation, not necessarily the same as the one garnering so much attention right now, the focus of the world will switch to the new problem. Reporters will no longer flock to the students from a southern state to get their opinions on what needs to be done to resolve their problem. With twenty-four a day news coverage and stations having the ability to break into programing, stories like this no longer have the long life they once did.
What this means for the author planning to write a story about the students marching and shouting for attention is that by the time they write their book, have it edited and proofread, vetted and possibly by a publisher—I say possibly because most publisher tend to shy away from hot topics—and that book goes through the whole pre-publication process, the breaking news won’t even be getting mentioned any longer. Most people won’t remember the names of the student’s leaders. They may nod and say, “Yeah, I think I remember something about that but it’s old news.”
So, bear in mind if you are writing books ripped from the headlines that you will need to find a way to make your story timeless. Otherwise, it will be “old news” faster than the original event.

Teamwork
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday Blog Share. Today, we’re talking about young adults working together to overcome a major problem. In Thunder & Lightning, Taren and Tarit face what seems to be an insurmountable problem. He’s been accused of sexually assaulting a young woman both of them have known for years. Despite their proof he wasn’t anywhere near her, societal pressure puts him in the cross-hairs of a potential prison sentence.
Get Thunder & Lightning on Amazon
Blurb
The gridiron rivalry between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers runs deep. Auburn has a knack of ruining Georgia’s perfect season at the worst possible moment…
The same can be said about Tarit ‘Lightning’ Berenson and his twin, Taren ‘Thunder’ Berenson. Tarit’s a running back for the Dawgs; his speed is legendary. Taren prefers online gaming; her skills are awesome.
Brad Weaver seeks justice for those falsely accused. He’s attempting to make up for his brother’s false arrest and subsequent “suicide” that evidence points to being a murder. Yet, proof of someone else’s involvement is hard to come by and he’s soon running at full speed to rescue Tarit from the same fate.
It all begins at a game, a win and revenge against a tough rival for University of Georgia Bulldogs.
“Dawgs, this is for you!”
Tarit’s words set up a mighty cheer on the night of the SEC Championship football game. His rejection of a girl’s advances at a party later that night turns the last half of his senior year of college into a nightmare without end.
Taren does her best to help her twin despite a lack of support from everyone, even their own parents. Her allegiance to him never wavers, nor does she stop searching for answers no matter what she has to do. Time is running out…
Evidence mounts against him…
Until Taren makes a startling discovery…
Is it too late to save Tarit?
Excerpt
The ringing keeps on going. He has to respond to me. He just has to. There is no reason for him to ignore my calls… except one. My parents disowned Tarit last month, and the whole family and all of their friends know I’m working to clear my brother’s name.
“Hello.”
His voice is curt, angry. Well, I’m angry too, and he is the last chance I have to save my twin from a fate worse than death.
“It’s me… Taren,” I say. “Uncle Andy, this is that moment we talked about when you told me that you had to act like you weren’t helping me. You’re my last chance to fix this problem.”
“No, I don’t have to help you,” he says. “The only reason I answered my phone today was to tell you that you are on the edge of being disowned by the family, too, Taren.”
