A Writer's Life

www.amazon.com/dp/B00FE81V3S I now have 23 E-Books up.  I will have another E-Book up in about 2 weeks.  In order to write and publish a short story every month, sometimes twice a month, that takes up all my time.  How do I find time to promote the story I just published and write the next one.  I don't think their is enough time in the day to do both. The year of 2013 I have published a short story a month, sometimes two.  I wrote the book, Write 12 E-Books in One Year  www.amazon.com/dp/B00FE81V3S   Also I had to promote my latest book Zombies Invaded My World  www.amazon.com/dp/B00EPEPZDE    www.amazon.com/dp/B00EPEPZDE So I have 2 books to promote and a short story to write every month.  How do I find time to Promote?? I promote when I feel like it.  Last week on my day off, I was on Face Book about 3 hours looking for new groups to join.  I found about 3.  I blog, I post on my face book page. I don't have the secret formula for promoting.  You need to

If there was a secret formula for promtion and marketing, we all would be rich and famous.  What works for one, might not work for another. It is said that the best promotion is your next book.  I agree with that, but I feel that you still need to get the word out.  I have paid for advertising on line.  It didn't do any good. So I decided not to waste my money there anymore. I like to blog, so I blog.  I find it interesting that viewers from other countries find me.  I like to see that.  The more you blog, the more hits you recieve.  Google likes new content, so the more you blog the more hits you get.  I try to blog everyday, but that does not always work out. I am on facebook, though I have no idea why people are on face book.  I have an author page www.facebook.com/pages/sharon-lee-johnson/140014492748141    It is different from a regular facebook page. I keep my amazon page up to date with all my books  www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson I do have a website...

www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAI9NAA All Episodes are 99Cents All Books My Sharon Lee Johnson are at www.amazon.com/author/sharonleejohnson Coming soon: Write 12 E-Books in One Year  Write-Edit-Publish an E-Book every month http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com

I am writing a non fiction book  Write 12 E-Books In One Year I have wrote this book, I will have written it, edit it and publish it without paying anyone.  I have learned to do in myself. It was not that hard. A year ago, the thought of me doing this never occurred to me.  I thought it would be too hard.  So I paid someone to format it for me.  No More.  I learned to format it myself.  Kindle has a PDF version that you can download and tells you excatly how to do it. Stop Paying someone else, when you can do it yourself. You can also create your own cover, with the Cover Creator on Kindle. Why pay someone when you can do it yourself. It is now my misson to tell everyone how easy it is to write and get published without going broke.  I still have some editting for the book.  I did a trial run on the formatting and it looked fine. Invest in yourself. 

This past month Life has gotten in the way of my writing.  My word count is down.  I have not been blogging or tweeting.  I have been in Hopital waiting rooms.  I bought my writing with me, but the stress of it all, I didn't write.  I am now a care giver.  I did not want this job, but that is what you do for the ones you love.  That doesn't mean that I am giving up on my writing or publishing an Episode every month.  That just means that it is more of a struggle to write, when I have other things on my mind.  Yesterday I was back at the hospital and couldn't eat cause I was so stressed.  Tonight I am happy to say that I wrote 2,000 words and have been on facebook and now blogging. I think wrting keeps me sane.  I will soon Publish a non fiction book Write 12 E-Books in One Year.  I am editting it and will work on formatting it.  will be out by the first of the year.  Life will get in the way.  Kids, family, work, but don't let that get in the way of your writing

So what's my problem now, you ask?  Well. I'm a city girl adrift at sea with no sense of direction.

It is easier than you think. I was going through my writing expenses,  I have spent over $1,000 on my writing this year. That is because I had to pay someone to format my files for Kindle.  I had to pay someone to create my book covers. Those days are over.  I have learned to Do It Myself DIY  DO IT YOURSELF. I publish only on Kindle.  It is all there on their website.  There is a PDF to download that tells you how to format your file.  Step by Step.  It is also available as an E-book  FREE  Grab a copy Kindle has a Cover Coverter.  Create your own book cover right their on their website.  It is easier than you think. Stop paying hundreds or thousand of dollars to have someone else do it for you. I am no longer on someone else's schedule.  I can publish when I want. I have learned to format my files and I created a cover with the Kindle Coverter.  No longer can you use the excuse that it is expensive to publish a book.  Take your writing career in your own han
