Nathan’s comments from the Navigating Indieworld Discussing All Things Indie group.

That's a spiffy cover. (wow, does anyone even use that word anymore - lol) Congrats on the book. I'm sure you don't need it, but good luck with it!

This week I entered my first flash fiction contest @

http://www.indiesunlimited.com/

The winner can get some great exposure by being included in an anthology. Right now I'm in 2nd place, so I feel pretty good about the piece I wrote.

And, I found out tonight that my proofreader is 2/3 done with my MS for book 2. So close to publication, I can hardly wait!

Thanks! I read through some of the others so thought mine would be a change from the norm

And I got a 4 star review/rating on amazon from somebody I didn't even know or make a request to

Congrats Erica!

I write late at night and it's pitch black outside, so I have nothing to look at. And like Anna, if I could see anything I wouldn't be able to write; it doesn't take a whole lot for me to get distracted.

Enjoyed doing your interview Amy!

You are AWESOME!!! RL, great job

My boss is a jerk...he makes me do all the work!

I prefer a ranch in Montana or Wyoming; lots fewer people there

Meh, I'm not a caravan type lol

Hahaha! Totally! You can't buy happiness, but I could at least buy the services I need to make my books better, and a boat lol

Amy wrote: "I just blog when I can spin something vaguely witty around some mundane thing that's happened. I'm dreadful at reviewing things. My reviews are "I liked that" and I think that comes from being told..."

That's about how my reviews go. I can only put down three or four sentences then I run out of things to say.

It's bad when your friends run you down, but worse when it's family. And yeah, Alex, sometimes it would be nice if you could pick family lol

Alex wrote: "That's mostly what I do, though it includes reviews of films and any other random things that occur to me; I tend to blog in phases though, I'll go a while withough blogging anything and then blog ..."

that's kind of how I am. Although when I get on a roll, I'll post several things in one day and not do anything for the next week!

Alex wrote: "I'm still trying to work out what to do with my blog to keep the visitors coming, I only get a trickle when I'm not posting interviews. I'll get there, though."

Right now I post reviews for my book, reviews I do of other books, and I'm currently posting a devotional series. I also do an occasional update of whats going on with my work or upcoming interviews

Know what you mean. I have four or five plot lines running around in my head for my series, but I still have editing/rewriting to do on the current project, plus the short stories I'm working on. I'm hoping that if I start posting some shorts on my site then I'll end up with more than just one follower lol

Alex wrote: "And mine. I view this as a marathon kind of thing, though. They may not buy yours or my, or any of our, books the first time they visit our blogs but if we can get them there and then keep them coming back..."

I've got a WIP that I'm doing with short stories (one is posted on my showcase thread) that I'm considering posting to my blog site one short at a time to keep the visitors coming back.
