    Hey lleone and thanks! You don't need a blog for name collection, you can do it via MailCheat(Chimp) without your own site. They give you a url you can put at the back of your book for people to sign up. :) MailCheat(Chimp) is free up to 2,000 subscribers, I believe.

    LLEONE's Self-Publishing Fiction/Non-fiction Ebook Journey

    PUBLISHING 
    You must be talking about NaNoWriMo. Good job on tackling that with 52k! What genre is your fiction? I know that some folks are shy about sharing, so if you just want to say the general genre (erotica, romance, sci-fi) that's cool. :) Looking forward to reading more of your story and growth!

    Pssst! Hey, buddy! Need an editor?

    PUBLISHING 
    I'm sure there are a bunch of scam artists claiming to be editors. However, I wouldn't publish anything without the man I recommended going over it first. I use the term 'editor' loosely because he offers a variety of service levels, from just basic copy editing to even line editing. To each...

    Thank you! I feel pretty blessed being a professional graphic designer and was designing covers for others before I started seriously writing, so everything seems like it's working out nicely. :)

    Fantastic idea! I One-clicked it as well. Can always learn more about alpha men and how to write them. I do agree with several others though... the cover looks like it explains to men how to pick men up.
