IWSG - Publishing
Founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh
I am late, rushed and dealing with little to no Wi-Fi. My apologies.
I’ll do my best with this post and comment and then I’m on a break until
October.
When I’ll be hosting the WEP’s Halloween Challenge. Can you believe it,
HALLOWEEN!?
You’ll not want to miss this one!
Oh, and check out the last challenge and the amazing winning entries HERE!
CONGRATULATIONS!
&
Your stories surpassed!

Now down to IWSG business:
Question - What
publishing path are you considering/did you take, and why?
I’ve done them all, first
self-publishing, when it wasn’t COOL! Not a fun time. Then traditional
publishing. Not a fun time either. Buyer beware again!
So now I self-publish through Amazon. They PAY monthly, give accurate statistics and make the process
EASY. There are some drawbacks to distribution, but even those are
surmountable.
Good luck with what you choose! For me, it’s having
the control that makes the difference. Now if I could only get better control
(understanding) of the Marketing angle. I’d have it made. 😊
The awesome
co-hosts are Toi Thomas,
T. Powell
Coltrin, M.J.
Fifield, and Tara
Tyler! Don’t forget to visit!

WEP - CHANGE OF HEART
WHEN LOVE DIES
it’s sudden
earth shattering
soul-sickening
mind-numbing
when love dies
it’s unrepairable
ashes scattered on hurricane winds
never to be whole again
when love dies
light is diminished
color dull
and music, one melancholy note
when love dies
the soul is scarred
life becomes questionable
the future non-existent
when love dies
the heart weakens
trust shatters
but hope eventually fills the void.

IWSG - Pitfalls
Question - What pitfalls would you warn other writers to avoid on their publication journey?
Keep track of where you spend your advertising dollars. It’s easy to send money via PayPal on bogus websites promising the moon. Ask questions and get recommendations from other authors who’ve had positive experiences.
One of the best places to ask for advice is on the IWSG Facebook page.
The awesome co-hosts are Erika Beebe, Sandra Hoover, Susan Gourley, and Lee Lowery!
CONGRATULATIONS!
WEP – Write…Edit…Publish
