Widowmaker by Paul Doiron

The Last Ronin (TMNT)

How to Sell a Haunted House

The Ultimate Werewolf Collection

The Lover by Rebecca Sacks (Lynne's read)

• Show Notes:

Lynne Golodner writes emotional novels with compelling Jewish characters who are determined to fill their lives with passion, purpose and love. Her first novel, Woman of Valor, joins a body of work that includes two poetry collections and six nonfiction books, including Hide and Seek: Jewish Women and Hair Covering and The Flavors of Faith: Holy Breads. Lynne is a writing coach, marketing entrepreneur and host of the Make Meaning Podcast, and her creative nonfiction has been published around the world. With a BA from University of Michigan and an MFA from Goddard College, Lynne is the mother of four and lives in Huntington Woods, Michigan, with her husband, Dan.

Writes nonfiction to make sense of life.

Fiction is imagination; some pulled from lived experience, but not intended. In future, addressing world events in fiction.

Always thinking about something, what it means to me, where will this take me? Do research for the creative essays. Write essays for self, show to critique partners, then submit.

2022 = 12 essays published

2023 = publishing and marketing Woman of Valor

Explore a topic, process old past events, idea file (lists of where I've been, who did I know, how was this formative?)

Read a bunch, make lists of experiences with extreme emotions, places you've been; research elevates the pieces.

Author brand: strong jewish women (risky), narrowing focus strengthens the brand.

Promote: lead writers retreats (sept mackinaw island, no cars) (2024 in Redwoods in Cali) writing in am and activities in pm. More info at lynnegolodner.com

Thank you to new patrons Lily Fouts and Leslie Hall and Meyari McFarland. Welcome!

Also, the winner of the Goody Bag drawing is Kathleen Kendricks. Congratulations! You've already been contacted. And to the patrons who signed up in November, I'll be sending out the stickers and calendars, your postcards, and the Goody Bag contents this month. I need to wait for the printing of the wall calendars first. I'll make an announcement on the Patreon page to let you know when they ship out. Thank you so much for making my first Patreon campaign so much fun. I think I might do this every year. :-)

Show Notes:

• Limiting beliefs limits the action steps to success.
• Perhaps we use our ideals to create them. When you name them, it gives them power.
• "I'm not good at basketball." "I'm not a morning person." "I can't write short."Add a "yet" to help turn it around. Train your brain to believe whatever.
• Reframe
• What's the goal?

Thank you to new patron Chad Boyer. Welcome! He will get the limited edition sticker and entry to the drawing for the Goody bag that includes a 2024 Passion Planner and coaching with me, along with a couple of other fun things. PLUS, a wall calendar I designed.

The Singer's Gun by Emily St. John Mandel

https://www.oldgodsofappalachia.com podcast

Show Notes:

• Use the Writer Beware services!
• If you've been approached, that's a red flag. And companies asking for money, that's a red flag.
• Making relationships may help you.
• Talk with the contractor whom you are hiring.
• Know the parts and why they are important, research different prices, make a choice, learn what you need to learn, shop, hire.

Thanks to current patrons Leah Joy Espinoza and Michelle Coleman who have edited their memberships to one of the new tiers. They will both get the limited edition sticker and entry to the drawing for the Goody bag that includes a 2024 Passion Planner and coaching with me, along with a couple of other fun things.

Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak

The Singer's Gun by Emily St. John Mandel

https://www.oldgodsofappalachia.com podcast

KimBoo is reading:

History of the Book (nonfiction), Master and Commander (audiobook), Family Secrets (podcast)

SHOW NOTES:

Find KimBoo on Ream and her website, House of York.

1000-2000 words per episode/installment (but doesn't matter) post one a week or every two weeks

5000-10000 once a month up to six months

Find a rhythm.

Hard things about serial writing (beware list): don't forget the long story arc (at least lurking in the background)

Process: release in installments (as a consumer it's exciting)

Go back the long arc in revision. What part does this season meet in the long arc?

Story beats

Serial expectations

Commitment: you can wrap it up and rush the ending if you need to--as long as know the long arc. (Maybe even within 2-5 episodes)

novel=season

The Wandering Inn (longest(?) running serial)

Spreadsheet breaks down long arcs and season arcs. Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E6I6Z4TwKgVtUTaid28J2ng_tSxU0HjauV9OievkcTE/edit?usp=sharing

Name of book coming out: By the Seat of Your Pants: Using the Discovery Writing Technique (in January 2024)

Unstoppable Storyteller (current nonfiction available from KimBoo York)

Tip: Character Motivation (ask the bigger question, what's the critical thing that drives the story's long arc)

What makes a story exciting? Analyzing what makes a good long writing series (television, multiple seasons with structure, story arcs are nested = key) long story arc (hero's journey), season arc nested and have own structure (three act structure) when season ends, the long story is not resolved. Installment arcs (like a chapter in a book); cliff hangers are not necessary if you've done a good job with the long arc. When one ends, marry it up with a long arc beat.

Lord of the Rings classic (side quests)

Transmigrated Teri on Ream (but some on Substack).

The Queen's Eiry is being serialized right now. (On Wattpad, romance)

A serial story designed to be very long and complex. A different format.

Different consumers of art: little bit vs big chunks

Hit multiple markets.

Serial fiction prior to Vella? LiveJournal, Archive of our Own, (for fan fiction)

Options now: Radish, Ream, Patreon, Vella, etc.

• Erick's Reading:

Jo Nesbo's The Night House

S.A. Cosby's All the Sinners Bleed (Blacktop Wasteland)

The Singer's Gun Emily St John Mandel

Children of Ruin Adrian Tchaikovsky

• Show Notes:
• Making decisions in your business all day long, every day.
• High level: how to spend my ad budget, what should I write next?
• Lower level: when to think about things, what to wear to a conference, when to check emails

How to make decisions:

Is there even a "problem" here? (What problem does this impulse suppposedly address?)

Identify the goal first.

Shut it off or put it in the queue.

Hierarchy of steps, assigning decisions.

Separate questions from ones I answer and ones I ask someone else.

Minimize trouble. Three columns: I know how to do this and I'm not going to pay for, don't have skill for this and I'm going to pay for it, I'm okay with this but could someone else do it better? (Am I going to hire, or learn, how am I going to handle this?)

Obstacles to making decisions: overwhelm, FOMO, paralysis analysis, not having enough info, tired, thinking time, biological needs, over-emphasizing the things we enjoy and am good at (as opposed to the other stuff), distraction, perfectionism.

Failure is not trying.

Having a clear objective. What is most important thing here? (Because we outgrow goals eventually.)

• Erick's Reading:
• The Most Expensive Mistress in Jefferson County by James Misko

• Show Notes:

Backlist are books previously published, still in print, for at least a year.

Helps with discoverability.

Not running on new releases all the time, but backlist props that all up.

Promote backlist books when not publishing.

Keeps people interested while they are waiting for the next book.

Keeps those titles alive, so when talking to fans about the books, you still know the sizzle of those books.

In it for the long haul; tap into the love of the backlist.

In book launch mode: use amazon free days for promo Book 1 and 2 before 3 comes out. To move them into the series after reading free book 0.

Talk about elements of older books (if you liked those, you'll love the new book).

Use backlist as a conversation starter.

Even with stand alone. If you liked xx, I've also written yyy.

Use old books to talk about the new books.

Opportunity to develop new story elements (looking at older books to see what else you can explore).

Fan service. Expanding on backlist. Going wider as well as longer.

Instead of marketing with ads, fan service to grow your audience.

All books equally important, no barrier to purchase.

Finding fans, less about marketing to the world and more marketing to your tribe.

Manufacture your own promo and free days, if you are wide.

Audiobooks, Large Print edition, Workbook ... incrementally or all at once.

It's your process. Own it. Use it the way makes sense
