I've Got The Fire Back!

Since Nanowrimo, I've been on a little hiatus. I edited all through December, but when January hit, I was in a slump. February didn't see an end to it. But here we are in March, and suddenly I have found my fire again.


Firstly, I have been working hard to maintain my blogs and website. I'm tweeting like a madwoman and writing ficlatte's while looking up writing contests. I have found a few that strike my fancy.


While puttering around on my blogs, I found my niche! That's a good thing because now I can try to market myself. I've been trying hard to do that for a while.



The one glitch in the system is that MailChimp and I have been fighting each other. Apparently, I need to build an email list to work on promotion. MailChimp is free, but not the most user-friendly. I have been trying to give out a free PDF and people aren't biting. I realized that the links are not working and the free stuff does NOT integrate with MailChimp. I even tried avoiding the PDF file altogether and just linking to a view only version on Google Docs and when I clicked on it from my test email, it failed.

Anyway, I'm reading , writing, and pushing forward after a rough start to 2018. I expect more hiccups to come, but for now, I'm enjoying the escalating ride up the hill. I hope it leads to an exhilarating ride.

Contest

In April, I am participating in "Blogging From A to Z" on BOTH of my Blogger blogs.

This particular blog is about writing, so I will posting writing related topics.

Here is the link, if you want to participate: A to Z 

As a participant, you commit to also go read 5 blogs that are below you on the list, making this a social event as well. I'm kinda excited about it. I have to pace myself, though and start writing NOW to make the deadlines. If you do not post anything for 5 consecutive days, you get booted. To make this happen, I am scheduling posts. So, expect posts from me every day but Sunday in the month of April.
