State of the Author: Sore https://sharonecathcart.wordpress.com/2023/09/04/state-of-the-author-sore/ #HighlandFire #indieauthorlife

My apologies for the radio silence; I had a real planes, trains and automobiles adventure getting to New Orleans for my conference last week. I'll share a detailed report later, but the main thing is that I was there just in time for the first of my two speaking engagements and made it home safely last night. #travel #indieauthorlife

Indie Authors have to wear so many hats, writer, editor, publisher, designer, marketer, and more. Here's a little cheat sheet on how to help your #indieauthor friends.

With an appearance by Author Tara Baja's Lit Page and her great blogpost (link to her post inside my post)

Sometimes, things just don't go to plan. The #aardvark was off exhibit at #saczoo yesterday. We had a splendid time anyway; the rain kept the crowds very low indeed. Still, I would like to have seen Padme (the aardvark) on National Aardvark Day. #indieauthorlife #outintherain

Way to help a writer:

- Buy their book.
- Review their book.
- Buy so many extra copies you can build a little fort.
- Take up residence inside the book fort.
- Make the news for refusing to leave the book fort until the book gets adapted into a movie.
- Watch the movie.
- Review the movie.

Another title from deep in the back catalog. This little collection of #essays and #opinionpieces helped me sort through some difficult times. Maybe my thoughts will help you, too?

(I am designing a new cover for this title.)
