Window Into My Reality

I just had my first Google+ Hangout today, which was pretty darn cool!  Ever since my birthday, life has just been one adventure after another.  I'm not sure what was special about this past birthday, but I'm not minding what life is bringing me! So it was Jeff Roach from Sociallogical.com and it's about building a community of like believers etc. instead of traditional marketing.  I'll end up signing up for their membership eventually, once Justin gets done working on his truck.  Well, that might never happen...he's always working on one vehicle or another!  But once that gets settled down, because I can learn on my own - I just need a few pointers to get me headed in the right direction. One thing I took away from the Hangout was that I'm on the right track by beginning to blog again.  He used an example of another author blogging about their area of expertise.  Even though I write fiction, that's still something I can do to.  I might not be an expert

So I read this advice article about how to make the most of your blog.  It said something about posting about twice a week, preferably on Mondays and Thursdays.  Not sure why she said those two days, but it sounds like a plan to me! I'm still trying to figure out ways to get my novel out there so that it sells.  Everyone who has spoke to me about reading it tells me the same, that it's a great book, they can't put it down and they want more!  Encouraging, definitely!  And you know what?  I'm glad I'm not the only one that these characters speak to! Last I checked, I had four reviews on Amazon.  I know who three of them are, my one sister, a friend at work, and a friend here in the trailer court.  Of course, that one has to make a big deal about how she got to read it before it was published.  Talk about tooting her own horn!  Apparently she doesn't realize she wasn't the first, just the most recent!  Oh well, whatever makes her feel good I guess.

Well, there is now a paperback version of my novel available.  It can be purchased directly from CreateSpace  Here  and will be available on Amazon.com as well.  I don't have a link there yet as it's not up yet. idk what else to say really.  I'm excited, nervous all at once.  It's a good book, I've gotten plenty of good reports from people on Facebook who've read it.  A lot say that they can't put it down.  I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who can't pull themselves out of the story once they start reading it.  Craig and Angela's life consumes me...scenes from their life together just keep replaying in my head.  Makes work go by a little bit quicker. lol Of course, it's frustrating at work, because I have all this great stuff floating around in my head and I no longer dare write on the back of my breakdown sheet during the 'slow times' because the bosses are getting anal about who'd not working hard enough during

Well, my days have certainly been exciting recently.  Ever since I got married, I've been doing all sorts of impulsive things lol Not only is my novel available on Amazon.com for $3.50  Farmer's Daughter  but it will be available in paperback too once I get the proof copy, well, proofed.  It should be in the mail as early as next Monday. I can't begin to say how excited I am!  It's crazy to self publish...but I have nothing to lose, so why not!

Free this week, my novel:   Farmer's Daughter by Robin Janney More later. Promise. I have to get to bed lol
