If you're a new indie author getting started, I have two things to tell you. 1. You will likely sell more ebooks than print. My werewolf ebooks have massively outsold print. 2. Print books are still worth setting up for your readers who will want them. Invest that time if you can.

I do remember some teachers being a bit concerned that I tried reading above my age level often in grade school, but I also didn't fully comprehend said books. I just liked them for the pretty, detailed illustrations. They weren't as worried once they realized that. 😆 #writesky #booksky #Bookvember

A friend said he was having trouble finding a site that's a replacement for amazon. That's because the replacement for amazon is buying from a mix of: 1. Local small/niche businesses 2. Less local small/niche businesses/creators 3. Companies who make just one kind of thing really well

The best thing I can do in the next three days is honestly plan some time for writing. Or at the very least, plan more time to rest because without a rested mind, I won't be able to write. 😅 #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall

Hi! 👋I'm Claris (she/her), and I have two poetry collections that I've recently finished the second rounds of editing with for #FirstDraftFall and haven't had much time to work on other writing projects at this time. Hopefully it changes going into the weekend and/or next week! #WeeknightWriters

My favourite part of #FirstDraftFall has been seeing everyone's else's progress so far and cheering them on, honestly. So proud of you all for sharing what you've gotten done so far! 🙌

Finding the time to actually write without being completely exhausted from non-author-related work and networking! I'm grateful for the current opportunities I have, but I just want to have even 30 minutes to write without my focus already being exhausted from earlier activities.😅 #WeeknightWriters

My #FirstDraftFall progress is pretty good but that's because I finished a second round of edits/drafting back on the 1st and I haven't worked on anything new since. Been busy with other non-author-related work AND attending a two-day virtual marketing conference this week! 😆 #WeeknightWriters
