Venturing Out Into the Real World

I got off work yesterday and usual I didn't want to do anything when I go home.  Took my shower and ate.  I knew that I needed to call my tax man and get together with him.  i wanted to know what I needed to do for my taxes next year and also to give him a copy of my book.

It is wise to keep the tax guy on your side.  So I called him and he was free that day.  So I changed my clothes and headed outside again. 

When your write, sometimes you have to leave the comfort of your home and computer and venture out into the real world.  I am glad that I did.  It was good to talk to someone who was not related to me, and could be honest with me.  I talked to him for about an hour and now I have things to think about when tax time  comes.

I then stopped off at a bookstore and dropped off some of my printed postcards and book marks.  This was a major event for me.  Maybe not for you or others, but for someone who doesn't like to leave the house, this was major. 

I walked into the store with my postcards in hand and asked the lady if I could leave them with her.  She could hand them out to their customers.  She smiled and said that would be okay.  She smiled.  I said thank you and left the store.

Who knows what she did with the postcards, but for me this was something I had to do.  I need to propmote my book and get out in the real world.  Nothing major happened.  I didn't crumble and the lady didn't laugh at me.  So If I can do this, so can you.

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market.

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
