inventor of the chunky writing method the chunky method is a way of scheduling your writing time to make yourself more productive based on how you naturally write in big chunks or small chunks the size of your natural chunk can be determined by how many words you can write on a normal day before you run out of energy creativity in the absence of writer s block or incomplete research which will stop any writer from moving forward each writer will still hit a point where they just run out of steam big chunk writers according to ms pleiter can write thousands of words before that happens small chunk writers run dry after only a few hundred words or even less but she says don t despair by figuring out which kind of writer you are you can adjust your writing schedule to make the most of the way you write big chunk writers typically need big chunks of time to produce words they need time to get into their story world before the words start coming they also often need a dedicated space to write and a minimum of distractions once those things are in place they are fiction writing machines small chunk writers on the other hand can sit down in a coffee shop and start batting out their word count on a moment s notice they don t need warm up time or a dedicated space so it s much easier for them to schedule multiple chunks in a single day not sure which kind of writer you are ms pleiter suggests tracking your word count for five days sit down and write till you run out of steam if you average over a thousand words per session you re a big chunk writer less than a thousand suggests you re a small chunk writer want to know more about the chunky method check out allie pleiter s website posted by jeanne estridge at 8 52 am 2 comments friday november 9 2018 the stages of a manuscript stage 1 this is a brilliant idea once this thing is published it will make me instantly famous and very very rich stage 2 okay it s a good idea but how in the world am i going to make this work stage 3 whatever possessed me to think this was a good idea joss whedon himself couldn t figure out how to make all these pieces come together stage 4 okay okay i think i see how it can work i really am pretty smart stage 5 but i suck as a writer this has to be the most boring pile of manuscript crap ever committed to paper stage 6 so that was a pretty good scene clever banter a little humor maybe not every reader will abandon ship on page 1 stage 7 i have a book it didn t turn out quite like i thought it would or it turned out nothing like i thought it would but there s a worthwhile story here stage 8 okay it s out in the world how do i make people aware of its existence here s where i am with the first three books in my touched by a demon series book 1 the demon always wins stage 8 book 2 the demon s in the details stage 7 with sudden trips back to stage 3 as i work through my editor s feedback book 3 the demon wore stilettos stage 3 how about you posted by jeanne estridge at 7 33 am 4 comments friday october 26 2018 the many facets of love the greeks have 7 different words to describe love eros sexual love ludus playful love philia friendship agape selfless love philautia self love pragma longstanding love storge love of children good romance novels depict most or even all of these 1 the couple is attracted by eros sexual chemistry initially draws them to each other but that s barely enough to sustain a one night stand never mind a happy ever after example every romance novel ever written 2 romances are much more fun to read if there s an element of ludus typically portrayed through banter and through what the late blake snyder called the fun and games section of a movie script where people are chasing around and unexpected things happen for that matter christian grey s playroom can even fulfill that need for those so inclined example the first half of loretta chase s lord of scoundrels where jess and dan spar and try to keep their distance from one another even while attraction drags them relentlessly together 3 in most well constructed romance novels there s also philia in the form of support from the couples respective communities this gives each lover someone to bounce things off of and a chance to gather more objective input as problems start to mount jenny crusie is the mistress of this every one of her books has or builds a rich positive community in bet me her rita award winning romance minerva s cadre of friends and family are there to back her up at every step in dogs and goddesses the three protagonists start out as strangers but go on to form a solid supportive community 4 in almost every romance novel i ve ever read in order to earn their happy ever after the protagonist must display agape the ability to love the other selflessly and to put the other s needs ahead of their own i m going to cite my own debut novel the demon always wins here although belial starts the novel intent on corrupting and destroying the heroine dara once he falls in love with her he will do anything including risking destruction in the lake of fire to save her 5 it may seem to run counter to what i just said about agape but to complete their character arc the protagonist must also learn philautia self love this occurs in the form of overcoming the character flaw that is keeping them from succeeding in the quest the plot calls for them to accomplish in lord of scoundrels dain must overcome his horrific childhood and learn to accept and love himself to truly become a couple with jessica 6 finally the happy ever after ending is a promise of pragma long term love in a country where the divorce rate runs between 40 and 50 pragma is what every couple dreams about it s also what romance novels by definition offer their readers the two rules for romance novels are 1 they must contain a central romance and 2 they must have a satisfying and optimistic ending the promise of a future together for the couple 7 finally the desire for storge love of children may explain readers love of epilogues which often feature the children of the couple making an appearance romance writers we do it all

0 00 before we talk about results let s take a moment to review what we learned last week impressions i e position in search results is determined by keywords and match type exact phrase or broad bid per click first takeaway despite getting 27 000 impressions across both campaigns i only sold one book on the plus side i only spent 11 52 so not a huge investment for an opportunity to start figuring things out second takeaway is that campaign 2 did much better than 1 in terms of impressions like three times better but they used the same keywords matching and bid per click both ads ran at the same time so that s not a factor the only difference i can identify between campaign 1 and campaign 2 is the ad copy the copy for campaign 2 contains the word winner which is a broad match for my keyword win win that accounts for 1212 extra impressions but it doesn t explain the full delta for example campaign 1 got 1120 impressions for the keyword books while campaign 2 got 3510 three times as many third takeaway is that while campaign 2 did better in terms of impressions campaign 1 did better in terms of clicks per impression by 40 1 if i m constructing an ad campaign aimed at brand awareness which has value for a total newbie like myself but no immediate payoff the second campaign was better if on the other hand i m shooting for impressions that drive clicks the first worked better my fourth and final takeaway from this initial foray into amazon ads is that before i try this again i need to glean a much better understanding of how amazon ads work some of the other eight ladies have indicated they d rather stick a fork in their eye than spend hours analyzing data i on the other hand have a data analysis background and i m totally geeking out over this you ll be hearing more on
