A Good Idea

So, So Important!

Saw this on Twitter yesterday with a request to share, so…I’m sharin’! Lots of people honestly don’t know how important some of these things can be to an author, especially an independent one, who depends on word of mouth so completely. Hope you’ll pass it along, too. Let’s get the word out (in the nicest way possible, of course.) Folks…if you read it, and you love it, please let the world know. Thanks!

      And solvent! Solvent is good! 😀 I just want to be able to keep on writing until I fall face down on my keyboard, that’s all. Selling a few more books would be very helpful in that regard. Fingers crossed for all of us who love to write, Callum. And so nice to see you here, as well.

FROM: Brenda Chaput: (as posted on page for photo above)

I agree with all 6 of those care & feeding on Amazon. Hope it catches on. Authors need all the help they can get, especially new authors or first time authors. If you buy an author’s book, please leave a review, share it. Tell other folks about the book if you enjoyed it. It doesn’t cost anything to leave a review or to pass it along. Good luck to all authors around the world. Brenda Chaput (Author)

  You’re doing great, Marjma, and I really, really appreciate your adding your wonderful review to amazon. Thanks from the bottom of my heart! 🙂 We’re all new to this stuff, really, even those who have been writing a long time. It’s all changing very fast, and you have to learn new things every day, just to keep up. 🙂

Yes… this is important. Support the authors! Read their work, write reviews, tell other people about the book! … I will start following my own advice too, when I get money into my book budget again…
And the same goes for blogs you like — I know i have many writers and bloggers out there reading this, we’ve got to help one another out! Share the love 🙂
