Does anyone else feel like time is passing at twice its usual speed lately? I don’t know. I’m finding it all very confusing, and I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since my last post!
I’ve been doing some work on the A More Complicated Fairytale book description. When I was doing Bryan Cohen’s five-day Amazon Ads Profit Challenge last month, I realised how lacking my description was. There were no stakes at all! Nothing to make a reader smash that one-click purchase button! While I learned a lot in the April challenge, I’ve signed up to do it again when it runs in July, meaning I’ve got until then to get my re-launch ready.
I don’t know whether I mentioned here that I bought my first ten-pack of ISBNs recently, too? That certainly made me feel all professional author-like! Previously, AMCF has only ever been published through Amazon, so I just used the Amazon-supplied ISBNs. But now that I’m taking it wide, I need to look after that myself.
I’ve been also been adding words to my as yet untitled sequel to Operation: Sugarplum. I’ve realised that my antagonist is rather… un-antagonistic, so I’ve had to have a bit of a think and up the ante on this one.
Here’s an excerpt I posted on Facebook last week. A glitch in the game means Clara has woken up inside a non-player-character (NPC) in the virtual reality fairy tale game.
Max’s mind raced. He couldn’t wake Clara up outside the game. Almost like she was in an enchanted sleep… and here she was, in a Sleeping Beauty character, awake and walking around, as though the curse had never happened.They’d been swapped.
Oooh.
Last but not least, I’m prepping my May newsletter to go out in the next few days. If you’d like to sign up, click here. You’ll get a free short story in the mail. 😉
That’s it from me for now. I’ll talk to you soon.
