When Do I Get To Wr!te Aga!n?
SPA...no not the relaxation kind but Self-Published Author. After writing non-stop for 14 months, it's time to Self-Publish. OMG, yes, CAPS, what hath God wrought. Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Amazon, goodreads...SOUND VAGUELY FAMILIAR?
We once had a life...as a writer, novelist, journalist and a family and a few friends that used to know who thouest be. Lol. No joke, I live in sunny Mexico and when the internet is flowing well (as many things here) life is good. But when one has FIVE sites to maintain and the net is slooow, oy Jesus Christo, give me patience.
All kidding aside, how many of you find that solace once known as writing has slipped into some time'warp continuum?Thank the Gods I wrote 90% of my sequel, American Beauty for House Of Cartels, before jumping into the SPA Arena like a Gladiator in heat. All I can say to those whom I´ve friended here, thank you for showing me the light and MADD PROPS for your tenacity, endurance and overall writing stamina.
Soon I will be back on the palapa covered patio with the breeze to my back and the words flowing off these fine fingers like a shaman´s good spell. Now what days do we want to do our Amazon Select Giveaway???

What Writers Need to Know About GoodreadsBy Jason Boog on December 11, 2012
Have you joined Goodreads? This bustling community of readers seems perfect for writers, but it is very easy to make a bad impression on its members.
After a long Ask Me Anything interview on Reddit, n Have you joined Goodreads? This bustling community of readers seems perfect for writers, but it is very easy to make a bad impression on its members.
After a long Ask Me Anything interview on Reddit, novelist Michael J. Sullivan recently collected some advice for writers using Goodreads. His advice can spare many writers some bad experiences on the network.
Here is his most important piece of advice: “The most important thing to remember about goodreads is that members of this site REALLY hate self-promotion. Primarily because too many authors come to the site and do drive-by posts and leave. This makes their radar on such matters very sensitive. The key to goodreads is to become a member of the community first…and mention your writing only in context and when appropriate.”
Comment from me. How true. Remember this before jumping into other projects. I have been working on two Spanish translations and the sequel in the House Of Cartels. Happy Holidaze! ...more
