Hashtags For Writers: Free Generator Tool - Kindlepreneur
Today, Panzer made a trip to the Kindlepreneur site. There our adventuresome kitty boy found a post about a free hashtag generator.
I need a nap after all that reading.
Site owner Dave Chesson's post is an in-depth look at hashtags for writers and his free hashtag generator. The Table of Contents on the right side of the landing page lists the seven sections included in the post. The first three sections explain how to use the free hashtag generator. The next four sections pertain to hashtags and how, why, and where to use them.
Panzer says, "Who knew you could use hashtags on other platforms besides Twitter? Not this little kitty."
Note: This is a humongous post. Bring a thermos of cocoa and six muffins for today's reading selection.

The Sounds of Success - The Rap Sheet
Today, Panzer's nap was interrupted when he was shaken from his kitty bed by clapping and cheering coming from the Catosphere. Hopping in the Panzermobile, our groggy kitty boy set out to follow all the noise to The Rap Sheet site. There he discovered a post about the Audie Awards was causing all the jocularity.
J. Kingston Pierce's post is about the Audio Publishers Association's 2022 Audie Awards winners. The awards are given annually for audio book narrations. Among the winners listed in the post is Stephen King's Later with narration by Seth Numrich in the Mystery category. The post also lists other winners in the Best Narration by the Author(s), Science Fiction and Thriller categories.
I'd win in a paw vote.
Panzer says, "Hmm ... This little kitty wonders if they have a Best Narration by a Kitty Author category?"
Note: This is a short-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection.
