Hurry up and wait. That\u2019s the game I\u2019m playing now with my latest book, \u201cPromote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author.\u201d I\u2019m ready to go into book promotion mode, but I still have not seen a copy of the book. And I just learned that the Kindle version is not available until next week.<\/p>\n
I will announce to you when you can order the Kindle version. So watch my posts.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I am asking those who have received contributor copies to post reviews at the book page at Amazon.com. It has been suggested that my author page at Amazon needs updating. And I need to prepare text for the book page at my Matilija Press website. So there is still plenty to keep me busy. I do have time to write this blog post, though. I think it has become a bit of a habit that I can\u2019t break.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had some marvelous comments from professionals who have received copies of my new book as well as one criticism. The criticism was about the way the cover was created and trimmed\u2014something I will be checking once I finally get a copy of the book. He said the interior pages look great, though. And he hadn\u2019t read it, so didn\u2019t comment on what everyone else seems so excited about\u2014the vast and complete array of information, resources, tips and techniques for anyone who is promoting or about to promote a book.<\/p>\n
Once the Kindle version is in place, I have a few more reviews posted at Amazon and the book is available at my own website, I will be contacting my vast e-mail list of clients, students, customers, conference attendees, colleagues and so forth. Let me know if you want to be on my email list. PLFry620@yahoo.com. Or simply order a FREE copy of my booklet, \u201c50 Reasons Why You Should Write That Book\u201d here: I\u2019ve been asked recently to speak to groups of non-authors and non-writers. That\u2019s a stretch for me. I\u2019ll be at Casa Glendale assisted living next month by invitation from a resident talking about the importance of creativity in our lives. Some of you may recall that I spoke to 800 Toastmasters in the Middle East a few years ago on the subject of creativity in speaking. <\/p>\n While I will speak to the Casa Glendale residents on artistic creativity, including crafts, gardening and so forth, I happen to believe that we are creative beings and it has nothing to do artistic endeavors. I once wrote a book (never did get it published) on creative living\u2014how we create our lives and choose to live and how we have the power to shift our lives to the next level through our own creative expression.<\/p>\n In the synopsis, I wrote, \u201cCreativity is not exclusive to artists, writers, craftsmen, inventors, designers, landscapers and other specifically talented and\/or skilled individuals. Creativity doesn\u2019t refer only to pretty words, fancy brush strokes or the conceiving of unique ideas or products. We are all blessed with an abundance of creativity and we use it every day in every way\u2014in the way we hold a pencil, communicate, comb our hair, pack a lunch, get along with people. Everything we do, say and think is expressed or performed with our own persona twist\u2014thus it reflects our individual creativity. And it is this creativity that, when acknowledged, accepted and appropriately administered can greatly enhance your way of being every day in every way.<\/p>\n Comments?<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com<\/a> Hurry up and wait.
