[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!If you have no huge preference, it might be a good idea to look at the top sellers in whichever genre you're planning to pursue,and then follow their lead. As for me personally, I absolutely love writing in the first person, and feel like I do a better job in first as opposed to third. Of the...- ChickenHawk

And now I shall spin yarns....
PUBLISHINGAs awful as things like this are, they make for interesting stories. Sometimes, the most compelling fiction characters are those who have the worst luck and yet somehow rise above it. Maybe you can channel some of these experiences into your stories and maybe even profit from them. Either way...- ChickenHawk

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!Thanks so much! And in answer to your questions... March Sales: March sales are good, not like January or February, but so far this month, sales have averaged about 150 a day. Still well beyond my wildest hopes, so I'm incredibly thankful. About Book 2: I do think it will be ready, but this...- ChickenHawk

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!I think it's natural to be scared. If nothing else, it's pretty obvious that you have an excellent command of spelling and grammar. I know that sounds minor, but IMO, that's a huge head-start and becoming an increasingly rare skill these days. Something that I now realize gave me a head start...- ChickenHawk

FREE Kindle books for All => THE SECRET HIDDEN TRICK to never run out of books to READ!
BOOKSGreat info! A quick note, I'd really urge anyone who loves a particular free book(s) to give a positive review. Even a sentence or two really helps. On author's forums, I'm hearing a lot more about authors putting out their books for free, only to receive very few or even zero reviews in return...- ChickenHawk

Jumping on the bandwagon
PUBLISHINGThis is absolutely true. Even as much as I tell myself that my time here is a good way to recharge, probably a better way would be to go for a walk, something that would also rest my eyes and help reverse some of the writing weight-gain. I don't write nearly 1,000 words an hour, but man, I'd...- ChickenHawk

Lurve stories for fun and profit [progress thread]
PUBLISHINGDang, I can't catch up! I bought "Me Cinderella" weeks ago, but haven't let myself read it yet. I think that's one of the things I miss most when I'm writing, is reading purely for enjoyment. I'm still amazed at how many books you've put out while working a full-time job, too. It's nothing...- ChickenHawk

Jumping on the bandwagon
PUBLISHINGFunny! Normally, I agree with everything you say. You're the trail-blazer, after all. I'm FOREVER grateful for that, btw! But alas, with this, we're not on the same page. I can't speak for COSenior, but for me, the fiction-words and participation here come from a totally different place in my...- ChickenHawk

Starting off as a Publisher
PUBLISHINGI mean this in the kindest way, but it sounds to me like you're trying to cheat the grind. You don't want to spend a lot of time, and you don't want to spend a lot of money. As @MJ DeMarco says on his icon (BTW, I love to quote those things, they're always so insightful.), you can't cheat the...- ChickenHawk

Turning a publishing problem into an asset?
PUBLISHINGI like the way you think, turning lemons into lemon-aide and all! I read this post a few hours ago, and am still thinking about it. In my opinion, there are several challenges with this. The people who love erotica might be unlikely to buy this, but it might make a great satire. Sometimes, those...- ChickenHawk
