Hey there…well, no #fridayflash today, but if you missed last week’s, you can check it out here. Can’t wait to see what everybody else is up to this Friday.
Long weekend coming up, lots on the horizon for fall. I always seem to get a burst of creativity when the seasons change. What about you? Do you notice any outside influences that add or take away from your creativity?
Anyway, something cool from GalleyCat. (Where else?) They’ve compiled a list of the best authors on Facebook and they’re asking for more suggestions. Check it out here. Got any suggestions?
Any cool plans for the weekend? Whatever you end up doing, I hope you have a great time.
I don’t know about you, but I go to my library almost weekly. It’s a great way for me to check out different books for free. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of audio books to keep me company on my commute. I’ve listened to books I probably never would have picked up before, just for sheer lack of time, and because of this, have made some great discoveries.
My daughter also loves going to the library and not only does she love the books, she likes to participate in many of the activities that the library puts on like story time and even Lego event!
No…it’s not library appreciation week. Yes…there is one, it’s in April.
But…Galleycat has put together a great list of The Best Library People on Twitter. It’s a very comprehensive list including writers, library students and even some libraries themselves. Be sure and check it out.
I heart GalleyCat. Yes, I do and I’m not ashamed to say it. It’s one of MediaBistro’s many blogs and in my opinion, it’s one of the best. Between the insider info on the publishing world and the great interviews, I feel that it’s a must read for writers and authors. No, I don’t get a check from them for saying this. When I find something I like, I feel the need to share it.
One of yesterday’s articles, entitled “Writers: Making a Living Off of Kindle?” caught my eye for a variety of reasons. Anything that has “writer” and “making a living” and “Kindle” is probably going to stop me in my tracks. I clicked on the link and lo and behold it’s an interview with J.A. Konrath, author of the Jack Daniels detective series. The interview was inspiring. Here’s an excerpt:
Is it really possible to make a living from selling eBooks on Kindle? Could someone actually give up their day job? And if so, how long would it take to do so?
I’m currently selling 180 ebooks a day on Kindle…
180 books a day, without a publisher backing him. Wahoo!
