ww juliemusil com i d love to hear an update from you guys how have you been what are you working on please share no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels divorce faith family marriage rescue your family wednesday november 4 2015 giving thanks iwsg welcome insecure writers to join this fab group click here can you believe it s november already sheesh good luck to all of you participating in nanowrimo this will be the first november in many years that i m not writing a brand new manuscript instead i ll be working on final edits of another 2015 has been a year full of unique challenges for me but through these challenges one thing remains the same a thankful heart brings personal happiness if you re a bible reader 1 thessalonians 5 18 instructs us to give thanks in all circumstances when we re able to follow that one piece of advice it s amazing how life has a way of straightening out give thanks even when things aren t perfect give thanks even when you wish your situation was different give thanks even if you have a long way to go as we head toward the holidays and the closing of 2015 my wish for you is that you ll find something to be grateful for every single day what are you thankful for today are you participating in nano if so what s your book about please share 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels give thanks iwsg nanowrimo writers writing wednesday october 21 2015 what dude perfect can teach writers have you ever heard of the internet sensation dude perfect they re five dudes who perform crazy awesome trick shots you can check out their youtube channel here with three teen dudes of my own i ve watched a heck of a lot of dude perfect stunts in this interview with abc s nightline we get to know the guys behind dude perfect a little more as i watched it i realized they could teach writers a whole lot of good stuff do not give up for dude perfect failure is not an option their shots seem impossible and it s only through try after try after try that they finally make it happen for some writers finishing a manuscript seems impossible for others signing with an agent or securing a publishing contract seems impossible mega sales seems impossible let s adopt dude perfect s work ethic of try try try and try again celebrate victory one of my favorite things about dude perfect s videos is their victory celebrations after several failed attempts at a trick when they finally make the shot their joy is contagious writers should be careful not to be down on themselves if they aren t where they think they should be in their writing careers instead writers should celebrate each victory no matter how small include others in the fun dude perfect has a legion of famous fans like mega sports stars big time coaches and celebrities they ve included these famous people in their fun having them perform their own trick shots we can also include others in the fun for me it s fun to include my family in the cover design process perhaps you could name a character after one of your kids we can even seek plot ideas from the people in our lives it s fun for others to be involved in the sometimes wacky world of a writer stay true to who you are dude perfect has said no to lucrative alcohol endorsements because of their deeply held christian beliefs i totally respect that their videos are good clean fun that the whole family can enjoy together they don t hide their faith they want to share it with others check out their why section of their web site they don t follow the money they follow their hearts i ll probably never write fantasy or sci fi simply because that s not my area of interest even thought here s plenty of money to be made in those genres if we stay true to ourselves and write for the right reasons we ll stay on the path that s intended for us love what you re doing the dudes of dude perfect love what they re doing their joy is infectious they re like five peter pans who i hope will never grow up even with all their success they ve kept their sense of humor and don t take themselves too seriously we can learn a lot from these guys if we don t love what we re doing why do it if you re down in the dumps about a rejection or low sales remember this you re a writer you love writing and you ll likely continue writing even if no one else reads your words love it anyway dude perfect has fun they know their audience they ve found their niche we could all learn a lot from these dudes who make awesome trick shots what say you writer friends have you ever heard of dude perfect do you love what you re doing ever make an awesome trick shot 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dude perfect writers writing wednesday october 7 2015 use it or lose it iwsg welcome insecure writers if you aren t a member yet please do yourself a favor and sign up here after a summer of not writing i was so glad to get back in the saddle again i ve sent my revision off to my editor and i await her final notes all summer i kept reminding myself of the use it or lose it principle that writing is like a muscle that can atrophy if not used and even though i feared jumping back in i survived the leap no injuries occurred checks mirror for bruises while life swirls around me at a dizzying uncontrollable pace i continue to put one word after the next creating something only i can create i hope you re doing the same 15 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels back in the saddle iwsg not writing publishing summer writing wednesday september 30 2015 the power of giving back friends today we have a special guest randi lee author of affected randi s here to share what she s learned about the power of authors giving back take it away randi writers there are a lot of us strength in numbers is great don t get me wrong i love all of my writer friends and wouldn t trade them for the world however with so many writers publishing so many books these days it can be difficult to get noticed especially by the media i should know i spent ages contacting media affiliates in an effort to have them promote my book newspapers trade journals television and radio stations i tried them all through emails letters telephone calls and physical visits i did everything i could to push my book on these agents of the media to no avail i even switched my message when one pitch letter didn t work i tried another if no one responded to my book s synopsis i re wrote the synopsis and sent that out no one bit nothing worked colorful language filled the halls of my home as i ranted and raved to friends and family about how amazing my book was and questioned why no one wanted to promote it what came to me later something i should have realized when i first began contacting the media is that lots of writers contact the media lots of writers want the media to promote their amazing book lots of writers try through emails letters telephone calls and physical visits to get the media to do something for them however in return what are those writers doing for the media sure the description of a great book written by a local author might entice a few additional viewers to tune in to the 5 00 news however unless that local author is stephen king or ann rice i doubt the boost in ratings would be all that significant i was no different yes my friends and family would watch but who else i knew i needed to add something to my pitch to the media something more newsworthy than just an interesting read i needed to provide them with a story that would benefit their viewers and ensure ratings succeeded i needed to give something back my pitch changed completely instead of sending emails to newscasters about my amazing new book i wrote to them about a successful self marketing campaign i was running at the time and how learning about it could benefit their viewers sales for my book skyrocketed in less than two weeks thanks to this marketing campaign and i did it all on my own i wrote i would like to tell you and your viewers how i did it suddenly things changed my inbox was flooded with responses from local and international news affiliates asking me if i would like to appear on their program or in their newspaper last week i successfully concluded the first of three television news interviews i have lined up next week i ll be featured in an hour long interview on the radio with another radio interview following the week after that three local papers have agreed to run articles about my marketing campaign and more importantly my book and potential opportunities are still continuing to arise yes writer friend your book is amazing and people should want to read it however there are a lot of amazing books out there getting yours noticed is going to involve giving as well as taking think about your story think about the successes and failures you ve had and what the media and its readers viewers can take away from them did the inspirational theme of your book motivate someone to donate to charity tell them that did your book make the amazon top 100 in less than a day tell them how you made it happen empower yourself through your unique experiences as a writer and lend those experiences to the public in a new and thoughtful way once you learn to give back the media will be much more obliged to listen thank you so much julie for hosting me on your blog today i hope this information proves useful to you julie s readers and i hope you all continue to pursue your goals in new and inventive ways randi lee is an author and blogger as well as a freelance writer editor and designer living in new england with her family and two much loved dogs she recently released her debut novel affected and is currently working on its sequel ascendance randi loves sharing tips and supporting fellow authors she often posts helpful advice and author spotlights on her website www randileewrites com affected her action packed dystopian thriller is available at all store fronts including amazon barnes and noble kobo and itunes awesome right i love it when fellow authors succeed in the world of marketing their books giving back is always a positive way to go thanks randi friends what s your experience with book promotion and media any tips you d like to share 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels marketing media publishing randi lee writing wednesday september 16 2015 writing it s like tennis photo credit as i mentioned in my post about hope pride and midway blues i ve taken up tennis as c s lewis once said you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream so there you go of course as i dug into tennis this summer my writer brain ran parallels between writing and tennis my thoughts jump in at your skill level i didn t enter the sport with the notion that i d be a skilled player after a couple of lessons i was starting out on the bottom rung with absolutely no idea how to even keep score tennis score is really weird though but i digress same with writing we don t enter the writing life as experts we enter at our own skill level and go from there no pressure to be like the aforementioned c s lewis now or ever soak up advice from those ahead of you in every area of our lives there are people who know more than we do many of those people want to see others rise higher and improve their skills tennis and writing are no different if someone offers tips don t get offended and shut them out instead soak up their wisdom and thank them for caring enough to help there is always something to learn even the best tennis players practice constantly and continue to improve experienced writers agree that they do not know it all and that they must continue to work on their craft we will never ever know it all thank goodness the journey would be boring without growth don t let setbacks stop you sometimes i feel as if i haven t learned a thing with tennis and that i m moving backwards instead of forward it may be frustrating but that s just part of the process as writers we understand that there will be good days and bad days momentum and failure heck even serena williams has setbacks we learn from them and move on stay after class my serve needs ahem some work at this point i m happy if it just makes it into the service box after my practice with other players ends i stay alone and work on my serve if we recognize a writing weakness character plot world it s helpful to dig in and do extra work in that area it may take time and effort but the improvement is worth it keep those muscles working whether it s the mental muscles of writing or the leg arm and shoulder muscles for tennis it s helpful to keep them moving i didn t write much over the summer and when i came back to my manuscript it took me a while to warm up fatigue happens sometimes i try so hard to improve my tennis shots i become too fatigued and when i m too fatigued it s a downward spiral it s time to take a break we ve all been there before with our writing yes when our brains are fried and we read the same sentence over and over again and have no revelation about what to do next stop rest return get out there and try i played in my first league match last weekend i went in with the attitude i m new but i ve got the guts to try with the afterthought i hope these ladies have a sense of humor i have a long way to go but boy was it fun i love the wayne gretzky quote you miss 100 of the shots you don t take i say that to my sons all the time and why should i be any different why not take a shot what s the worst that can happen my manuscript is a flop i m a goofy tennis player so what with anything in life i think the most important thing we can do is live in the moment and enjoy the journey otherwise what s the point writing friends what s your take on these comparisons if you ve played tennis how s your serve can you reliably get that little green ball into the service box help 25 comments email this
