Thawing Out

I’ve been a little quiet over here. Sorry about that. There are so many places to be chatty. This blog, Facebook. Twitter, Instagram, my newsletter. Sometimes it’s hard to think of something to say, especially when I need my words for the next book I’m writing.

(Like how I did that? A nice little plug for the next book, just casually dropped at the end of a passing thought like it’s no big deal? So smooth…)

I decided that January would be focused on marketing and promoting my existing books. I read marketing books. I took an online class. I spent hours and hours mining keywords for advertising and spinning up ads on Amazon. All good stuff, but it definitely didn’t leave time for much else. My creativity froze up a little bit, not unlike my nose hair every time I went outside.

Now that I’ve been shifting my focus back to writing, I can feel the creativity starting to thaw out. I’ve had a couple of really good writing sessions over the past few days, and it’s got me all fired up. Writing’s fun that way. The more you do it, the more you want to do it.

So that’s what’s going on over here. Stay tuned for more sporadic posts about nothing in particular. The creativity may be thawing, but my blogging skills are still a little iced over. 😉

Sandy You do good work. Just keep it up and the marketing will handle itself.

Awww. So glad you’ve enjoyed the books! And I promise to keep it up. Too many weird stories knocking around in my skull to call it quits 😉
