Today marks the one year publishing anniversary of “DAISUKI.” my first ever published work. One year ago today I was nothing but a fledgling publisher, who had no idea what to expect or what would happen a few months from then. I was confident in my writing abilities, but nervous about how they would be…
I know I am not alone in this, and yet, it feels weird to talk about. As a published author I am very proud of my achievements and what I’ve managed to accomplish in over three months – but I have a confession. The moment I hit “Publish” on a work, I will probably never…
To give you an idea of how busy I’ve been lately, let’s just say I totally forgot to do last week’s check-in. Oops! (Who was supposed to hold me accountable again?) I’m not sure where I should begin in listing what I’ve been doing and what my goals are…aside from saying, “Writing, Editing, Formatting, and…
Hard to believe that one month ago today I released “DAISUKI.” unto the world. Since then I’ve experienced a month of ups and down, growing pains and learning curves. I wish I could tell you that I became a big money-maker overnight, but, ALAS, I have not. But I have no complaints so far. I…
Upon logging onto the Internetz today I have discovered that Kindle Direct Publishing now offers their Kindle Store via Amazon Japan! Of course, KDP’s expanding markets are nothing new, especially recently, but I have a very special interest in the Japanese market, so this is really exciting news to me! Some people are already selling…
This update comes in two sections: The breakthrough, and the branding. FIRST! The breakthrough! Tuesday I talked a little about my recent “series” naming escapades. I was worried I wouldn’t come up with anything. Or that anything I came up with was thoughtless, meaningless, and there just for the sake of being there. While this…
Man I hate it when this happens. For the past few weeks I’ve been trollin’ around stock photo sites trying to pick a cover image for my upcoming novella release. (Eee! It’s getting closer! CLOSER! Soon I’ll be doing reveals!) It’s been tough. At first I thought I found the perfect image somewhere. The models,…
“Share A Saturday” is a weekly chance for you, yes YOU, to come on my blog and talk about whatever you want, so long as it’s related to writing/books. For more information, such as if you’d like to “share a Saturday” with me, please see below! Michael Abayomi was born in Lagos, Nigeria. He fell…
A day or so ago The Golden Eagle made a post in which she asked, “Would you write if you knew you’d never be published?” Of course I thought about it and subsequently replied, but my reply made me think a lot about the role of writing in my life…especially now. My reply was basically…
Earlier this month I introduced a Kickstarter funding project by my good friend Morgan Bauman, who is trying to (re)self-publish her series “Untold Memories“. If you’re not familiar with Kickstarter, it’s a way to fund independent creative projects (such as self-publishing novels, making movies, etc) with varying degrees of donation. There’s a set time (usually…
