In this week’s episode, we talk about our weeks and how significantly different they were. First Person or Third Person? To Past Perfect or Not Past Perfect? Will Jerry survive the week? Also…July 9th.

In this episode, Lindsay and discuss where we are both currently at in our writing/publishing process. We talk about our mom, her kids, my work…and oh yeah, a bunch of writing stuff.

In this episode, I talk about the mistake I made just before I sent my first newsletter out and now that I got my Book back from my editor, what my plans are. But more importantly, I introduce a new co-host to the podcast!

Is this week’s episode, I’ll pretend it’s June 11th. Okay, I won’t actually pretend it, I’ll just say it in the open. Actually it’s June 9th. I’ll also talk about the five key things on my mind as I move toward publishing my first novel.

In this weeks podcast, I’ll talk about why my short story is becoming a novella, why I didn’t do a preorder and why I didn’t sent out a mailing list. Apparently I’m just a big fat liar to you people!

Apparently that was episode 30 and I kept calling it episode 29! Whoopsie! In this episode I update you on where I am with my short story…did I actually decide to pants it? I also talk about my first book and a few more edits that I made. And finally, I compare editing with going to the dentist. Here is the youtube video where Dean Wesley Smith talked about Writing Into the Dark. He describes looping better than I did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnNYQZbrtDU&t=4s Here is the youtube video (apparently I mentioned in my show notes last week too!) that I use to plot my first book and my short story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94F-3Z6CJJw

On this week’s episode I’ll talk about what it’s like to finally finish my book. I’ll also take you through the laundry list of things I have to do in the next seven weeks to prepare for the release…and spoiler alert, it’s a lot! Here are links to some of the things I mentioned in the podcast Create If Writing – Episode 142 – Paid Email Promotions The Creative Penn – Episode 429 – KU vs Wide Kindlepreneur List of Promotion Sites GoOnWrite.com: Finding premade covers for my short stories And here is the bulletin board I built a couple years ago that I use to plot. It’s four feet by three feet and perfect for plotting on note cards the way I do. The little slips of paper are the chapter numbers.

In this podcast, I’ll update you on my travel week and how the editing went. I didn’t get finished like I’d hope but I’m a lot closer. I’ll talk about the things I have to do before I release my book and how much I have to do in such a small amount of time. And if you stay until the end, you’ll hear me talking about that time I made out with a dolphin. This is the first youtube video I ever used when it came to plotting my story and it will be my starting point every time going forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94F-3Z6CJJw

Howdy all, in this episode I’ll talk about where I am right now with Book 1, my plotting of my first short story and why I like the trips to Nebraska. This is a link to the Smashwords Podcast with Mark Coker I referenced https://www.smashwords.com/podcast
