Finally, I have something to contribute to this thread:1) I finished writing The Illusion for the Bulwark Anthology.
2) I'm pleased with it.
3) Carole/Brit Lunden likes it.
Relief all round. I didn't think I'd make it to the 15k minimum word count.
In other news, I've got to write the blurb. (Oh bugger.)
I have issues with the notifications on here too sometimes. Most of my friends are online. I am friends with people I talk to in a local coffee shop every couple of weeks. We don't see each other outside of that setting.
I couldn't begin to tell you which ones I have set up where. Every single time I look at the Amazon ads, I have to re-educate myself on what they are and what they do (which is bugger all, in my case!)
Not surprised. Technology has a lot to answer for. Rather than read a book on a train, these days people work or watch something. When I commuted into London, there was no choice other than a newspaper or a novel.
Also take into account the vat size. People stuffed into oil barrels only just fill them. So they don’t float or sink. I know this from personal experience. It was it TV?
I would always go for around the four minute read. It’s about 1000 words or roughly a page of A4 12 point. I’ve only written one really long post to get something off my chest but wouldn’t expect it to be read. Write things that people can read whilst sitting on the toilet. Now I’ve said that I realise some people treat a visit to the lavatory like a day trip...
Short is better. Medium articles and trips to the toilet.
Yep, still haven't done the publication thang!It's a good month if I reach $20 these days, but it pays its way, so why not. I'm only at 267 followers. Sometimes I get a random clap on something I wrote months ago.
I put the featured author posts outside the paywall. They weren't my words, Anita wrote them, I'd feel bad about benefiting financially from them. But I did think that maybe it might bring more interest. Apart from that, what is the point in writing for something that could make you a few quid and not take advantage of that?
