Someone asked me how to get book sales numbers up.
I cannot stress enough, I have no idea.
I write books. Every now and again, one gets published. Some do okay. Some do worse. I post about them on social media, I guess? But that doesn't seem to do a lot.
Maybe like... magic??? could work???? 🪄🤔

My teen reader calls his pantser style of writing "free-range organic nonsense."
I'm sharing this in case you're in need of a smile today. I hope you fall in love with a great book or write something you're immensely proud of this week, friends!

The holiday season is upon us and so I need all the holiday movies that have publishing as any aspect in the story. MC is a writer. Secondary character wants to write a book or be an illustrator or is an editor or agent… please list that movie here.

This also applies to books and anything creative. People are struggling now, they're not thinking about buying books if they're worried about food, bills, and fucking ICE.
Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.
We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.
