Kickstarter Friday (on a Saturday Night)
Some Fiction Campaigns That Are Worth Studying and Backing… I do this every Friday (didn’t have time last night to search for more than one, so pushed it until tonight to try to find a few others, but without luck.) when I have a few Kickstartere campaigns I think are worth putting here. I will not say much negative about a campaign. If there is too much or it is going to fail, I won’t post it here. And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 56 of them, every one funded and made money. My first campaign was in…

Limits in Writing and Publishing…
Everyone Sets Their Own Limits… Actually not completely true. Everyone’s limits are set by what they learned from others, mostly non-writers spouting myths they learned at some point. And there are major myths that most writers never get past. — Writing Fast Is Writing Poorly — Everything Must Be Rewritten — Everything Must Be Perfect Before Publishing These myths and so many more are what limits each writer. And the myths were encouraged by agents who were never writers and also traditional publishing that could only handle so many books from a writer, usually just one per year. And the fear of what others will think stops millions of writers…

Some Perspective…
Sometimes Life Just Tosses You Perspective… Tonight, while I sat in my Cadillac, waiting for Kris, I glanced over and there was a tiny kitten on the top of a wall right near the street. Then a person moved who had been sitting beside the wall, and I realized it was a homeless person with a sign. Now, we were way out north and west of town, in suburban and strip malls, where the homeless seldom went, but there was a restaurant Kris loved and I didn’t much care for. I had a basic McDonalds’ hamburger in a bag I wasn’t going to eat and some fries, so I took…

One More Time Before Moving On…
All Kinds of Great Learning… Putting this here again because honestly it is quick and the internet at this time of the morning is going and coming… Oh, fun. So I am doing these and only one person so far has signed up on the Kickstarter Mentorship and still have two on the Sales Mentorship. After this post moving on to other fun stuff. KICKSTARTER MENTORSHIP… That’s right, one-on-one, I will help you build and launch a book kickstarter in the next three or four months that will fund, (I guarantee if you do as I say) and get you readers for your books, then I will continue to help…

If there is too much or it is going to fail, I won’t post it here. And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 56 of them, every one funded and made money. My first campaign was in the very early days of Kickstarter. But if yoyu are going to study campaigns that I have done, study the last year or so. I am continuing…

Personal Sales Help Mentorship
Two Spots Still Open… I still have room for two more writers. And you can start now or next year, either is fine. Here is why I am going to do this. To put it bluntly, many writers are simply creating stories that won’t sell for one reason or another, often having nothing to do with craft. Sometimes learning this stuff early helps before you get to twenty or more major titles published, but often a writer gets to that discoverability threshold of 20 books and still does not see an increase in sales. That means something is off in the product. (At that point, the story is a product.)…
