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

Oops, just saw your announcement in another thread saying we will announce on March 5 so I will wait until then. :) I think I found the thread about blog tours that you may have been talking about. I sent you a DM with the link.

We do! But whatever you do, do not enter any coffee shops! LOL

Erica, I'm thinking 27-28-29. That also gives me enou..."

That sounds good to me! Would you like me to start the process of getting information from the participants on sales for the event?

I remember and think I participated in the conversation about blog tours, but that wasn't me.

A trip to Amsterdam sounds fun! Would be a good research opportunity for you too. ;)

Carole: you can do this! We have faith in you!

Alexis: I have been a little preoccupied with storm damage so I want to make sure I didn't miss it if you announced this somewhere. Do we have a date for the event yet?

The articles posted so far were written by THREE Children fiction writers and just ONE erotica author, my friend Anna. Yeah. I couldn't let that stand. Those children fi..."

But you know you love us ;)

Way to go Alex!

It didn't prompt me to verify my email.

I tried posting as a guest and it worked. I was also able to login with facebook to vote up comments.

You are probably working on the site right now so maybe that is why it is glitching, but I tried to reply to Carol's comment on my post. It went through. When I refresh the page it shows up for a second then switches to a different view and disappears. I haven't had problems posting on the other blog articles. I will try again a little later to see if it is still happening.

Midweek update:

1. Completed and ordered proof for book 4! *does a victory dance* Check

2. Kindle editions are now available. Check

3. Still trying to build my email list. Maybe I need to try a different approach...

4. Beginning blurb for book 4 today.

New goals:
5. Write another blog post for the NI website

6. Help Alexis by collecting and organizing sale information for the spring book festival event.

Come on Amy...everybody is doing it! *wink* nothing like a little peer pressure lol. But seriously, I would like to read an article from you and I am sure there are many others out there that can relate.

It's like they know what kind of writer I am! Lol."

Thanks for the morning laugh!

That's very kind. I'm not sure..."

Well, then don't read mine... ;) I don't have very many sales and create my own art as well. But I figured I could write about what I have learned with some of my early struggles. I think it gives a slightly different view since I am not necessarily on the other side looking back. I am still in the beginning.

I find some of the most beneficial articles to be about someone's personal experiences as an author or about things they have learned along the way.

Good question. We are going to start a separate thread after we announce the dates where you can list the sales price of you book for the event or if it is available on KU.

Lol. Thanks! :) I just finished the rough draft for another one. I am going to read it over a couple more times before I send it in though.

I am glad you were able to use it. Between us (and everyone else on this thread lol), it is the first blog article I have written. I have done short entries for my Goodreads blog, but nothing like this. It was fun. :) I have been enjoying everyone else's articles too.

You pick the most beautiful and perfect pictures. <3

Just ordered my first print proof of book 4! I typically need to do 3 proofs before release, but the first one is always exciting!
