The curse of the 1 star rating with no comments hits me again! What's so devastating as it is only the 2nd rating on my book so really stands out. Devastated! Life as an author can be so tough. Days like this I feel like giving up!
#WritingCommunity
Not feeling it with writing today. So giving up and will settle for a spot of reading. What do you guys do when the writing just isn't flowing?

Got my first 1 star rating today! How have you dealt with that - if you ever have had one!? No comments so hard to know what they didn't like.

Special plea to my twitter friends. My current FB Ad is a disaster so could I ask for a 📌for a 📌. Let's share each others work this rainy weekend - perfect for snuggling down with a good book!

I have a kindle deal on at the moment so would love some support. How about a 📌for a 📌? Thanks you beautiful people 🥰

How important do you find having a website to sell your work? I'm seriously considering ditching mine as I'm not techie enough to maintain it and not sure it adds as much value as my socials. Thoughts fellow writers!

That minister was there to discuss domestic violence then the conversation was hyjacked to display all the characteristics those victims face. Anger, overtalking, bullying and making them feel worthless. Those subject to domestic violence were let down by that interview. Shame.

This month I passed a milestone on my writing journey. Over 1000 books sold since I published my first book October 2020. When I started, I would have been chuffed to reach 100 books. Far exceeding my own expectations. A big thank you to all my lovely readers.
A big thank you to my first reader in Germany. Only ever sold books or had pages read in UK and USA so super excited.

2 years ago I published my first book. I hoped to sell 100 books overall and didn't think I would have another book in me. I now have 4 books out there and 2 more WIP. Loving the life of a writer.

Excellent decision. Most law abiding citizens can see that wearing a mask protects others and will do it but it needs to be mandatory whilst the numbers increase. Well done Mr Khan

If a business lay off staff for their political views rather than performance and productivity then they are not very well run businesses and will struggle no matter the economic landscape. Get real Terry.
Really starting to lose faith in Facebook Ads. The last two have been disastrous compared to previous campaigns. Are others feeling the pain and have you stopped using?
#writingcommunity
Where are you selling online now if you have stopped FB Ads?

Email from KDP Customer Support who tell me there is unfortunately no way to determine if your kindle download book was read before being returned...do we believe that?
@EzriValtin
I self-published my first book at 57 and now have 4 of them out there. I had to really leave it until I took early retirement as my job and family wouldn't have given me the time to spend on writing. I bow down to all those who manage that.

self doubt when you don't sell a book for weeks. Self doubt when you do sell a book. The life of a writer. Or is it just me?
@authorali1
I would say never pay someone to publish your book. If they want it they should be paying you. I have self-published three books and its a great experience. I had an offer from a publishers who wanted cash to do it and turned away from them

anyone know how to see the tweets of my long standing friends in the community....recently they have all disappeared from my thread. Missing the regulars. Help!
#WritingCommunity
thank you everyone for your best wishes and support after my 1 rating breakdown yesterday. I feel your support under my wings and will brush off the haters and embrace the writing. Best community ever.
Results in from my latest FB Ad and Fussy Librarian promotion! 2 ebooks for Fussy and 7 for FB Ad - a nice loss but at least 9 more people will be reading my books.
I now have about ten books on my kindle waiting to be read. Thank goodness I have a ten day holiday in the Canaries coming up. Me, sunbed and kindle with maybe the odd glass of something. Perfect.

Excited to share my cover for my new book coming out on 16th March. This is the second book in the Sixpenny Bissett trilogy. Available for pre-order on
#kindle
very soon.
As I prepare for a spot of sunshine, I'm thinking about how well travelled our books might be. Where's your most exotic destination for your book? Mine is Costa Rica I think.

stayed in a beautiful b&b last night and the owner wanted a signed copy of one of my books so she could tell her friends of her famous author staying! Didn't want to disappoint! Not famous at all but hey!
