I started working on book 3 again last week, and then this week I completely forgot about it.
I think my mind is going in my old age๐ด
Back at it! Started working on book 3 again yesterday with 1,000 words added.
Only on chapter 4 but already eager for certain events...and the cover art I have in my head. ๐

Pleased with this month. Unexpected but I'm a happy writer.
Thanks. Yeah Amazon hasn't done anything for me. A friend told me to try Instagram ads.
Not sure who will see this with my account's current reach, but...
What, if any, advertising have you found to be effective for selling your books? What platforms seem to work?

Thanks!
Well damn. Need to find a new place to live. Got 2 months. Let the searching begin.
I'll never use AI for writing, cover art, etc. Simple as that. I'd prefer to be proud of work I've actually done myself.

This is upsetting. I was looking forward to this ๐ญ
Christmas shopping begins.
*Pets bank account* it's okay...it'll be all right.
Went to my first in person event on saturday. While most visitors were not my demographic I still sold a few copies and gave out even more bookmarks with QR codes.
Overall was great!

Sometimes escaping to my book's world doesn't sound so bad. Sure there are dangerous creatures, people turning into monsters, evil mages, no internet.
But... *Motions to everything.*
