A Few Final Words Before the Holidays


To those of you who are still reading this blog, I'd like to thank you!

This blog will be shutting down. I plan to post information and resources for writers on my new website, which is in the process of being designed right now.

I hope it will be helpful in guiding business decisions. Writing is, after all is said and done, a business.

Yes, it is a craft, but so is woodwork or art or leather goods or anything else that's sold for money.

Always remember ... a book is your product, not your child. It may feel like your child, but don't let the critics hurt you. Those are just words. Don't let the haters bait you, either. Fuck 'em!






Pin that! :)

My final links here:

The book as we know it is dead.

Is your business ready for Tumbler?

The wisdom of Ray Bradbury.



How they adapted the unadaptable.

Free sites to promote your ebook. (Blogger's note: Keep building your platform. These aren't a substitute for a strong platform, created through blogging and effective use of social media.)

Did anyone really win? :)

Oh, wait. I forgot.

Everything's fine ... with me!

Well, this is cute, but ... ahem ...!

Touchdown!
PS: You could say my decision to stop blogging here was a matter of life or death ...

Thanks, Rach! I'll still be blogging here: http://mackthewriter.wordpress.com/.

I'm doing a complete overhaul of my website and thinking of writing my memoirs in a separate part of the site. I'll also include writer's resources and health/wellness/sustainability resources, too. Just not in separate blogs.

I'm in a much happier place. Glad to hear you are, also!

Be seeing you. :)

Hugs,
Debbi
