Happy Wednesday, good people of the blogosphere! Just two more days until the weekend arrives! Yay! Wow, great stadium cheer! Anywho, today I'm taking a formatting and writing day. Being indie authors, we have to do so much of our own work it's crazy. I bet you all agree when I say this feels more like a real job than many others I've had throughout the years. Of course, you'll always work harder when you work for yourself!
Different from a nine-to-five job, working for yourself tends to push your hand to sixteen hour days. It's a necessary evil but when you make those sales and the numbers go up it's like no other feeling in the world (except maybe a good review coming in).
Speaking of which, if you download an indie author's book free, please take the time to read it and leave a review. I know my fellow authors agree. We love to hear from our readers! Even if you just take a moment to shoot us an e-mail that speaks your mind, it means more than you think. Having an author that knows who you are and takes the time to talk with you (we're BUSY people) is like having a golden rod in your pocket you can brag about to the world and no one can steal. So, take the time to tell your author what you think. We read our fan mail!
I'm off to work on formatting my novel so all you lovely people can read it on release day! Only so many hours available and the week is almost over!
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!

It's hard to take a day off too when you work for yourself! I'm trying to catch up from taking a few sick days and it's driving me crazy. Hope your formatting went seamlessly
ReplyDeleteI know that's right. I've taken a couple of days this week to do life stuff and it hurts my productivity. My formatting went well, thanks. Now I need the edited MS to import :) Catchup sucks. I hope you get done all you need to do without too much headache.
