Check this out

This weekend I was asked in a TikTok DM what to do after you have an outline written and don’t know what to do next.

Now while I always preach “there is no right or wrong way to outline or begin writing your book”, I still provided a couple pointers to this young lady.

I asked her about the basic idea of her book. Why was she writing the book and what it was about.

After that I suggested, since she had a traditional outline, to look at what the main points of her first chapter outline could be and if any of her points could be combined. This can also be followed for subsequent chapters.

The first sentence, paragraph, chapter can sometimes be easier to write if you pretend like you are talking it out to someone on the couch. Talk to yourself out loud if you need to. Record what you say, put it on paper and fill in the holes to the story as you go.

A blank page opens a world of opportunities. If you don’t know why you’re writing your book the readers won’t know either. You may shock everyone with what you come up with.

If this was helpful save it for later!

You may like your characters after the first draft but I guarantee you will love them after a couple rewrites and getting to know them.

Keep writing my friends.

Let me know in the comments if this has ever happened to you.

A ban by definition is the removal or cancellation of materials or services based on content.

Today is the first day of the nationally recognized, Banned Books Week.

Banned Book Week started in 1982 after seeing a rise in book challenges which displayed certain content. A ban on stories and books written by certain individuals is nothing new. This week I challenge you all to learn more and read more from the authors who are banned. You may be surprised by how lost in the story you become and ask yourself “why is this book banned again”

Some of my favorite childhood books are on the banned book list and I intend to reread them and share them with my daughter and in hopes one day she will share with her children.

Recent media news is showing exactly where the future of book content is going so it’s important not just this week but every week to find a new book you love and share the message and stories of those we love.

To ban a book is an attempt to censor the beauty of its story.

Pre Orders are now available for MILK.

A steamy romance novel that captures the acceptance and vulnerability of the male emotion.

Love and pain are often synonymous with one another and is often accepted by men when it involves a woman. However, women are not so accepting when it involves the pain inflicted on a man by them. The tidal waves of love crash ashore causing his edges to become rigid and have to be hidden and falsely forgotten. The misconceptions that are placed on just how deep a man’s love should go are formed by the common woman. But just how deep should a man’s love go when the woman he sacrificed everything for betrays him? Become fluidity with me and travel only places MILk can go, read me, drink me, indulge in me.

You don’t want to miss out on this page turning read 📚

08/23/2022

Indie authors account for over 1 million of the authors in the world. How do we find them? How can we support them?

To be honest, I’ve read some indie authors books that I couldn’t put down over some of the bigger names who traditionally published.

Being an indie author is hard work. You go at it alone or you hire help but either way, an indie author is self funding.

I wanted to provide a couple of ways so show our indie authors some love.

Like, save and share! Also tag your favorite indie author so others can know them, read them, and support them!

Today I became a member of the library card community in my area. I heard varying reviews on these two books so I figured the best place to read them and return without guilt would be my local library. 9/10 if I like them I will purchase them both.

All that to say…AUTHORS REACH OUT TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARIES!

Some libraries will purchase the books after checking your reviews, social media, and sample chapters and some others you will have to provide a copy of your book for review.

Libraries will also reach out to you for workshops and events which would put you in front of more of your target readers.

There is a whole community of readers who would rather support a local library so why not make it easy for them to discover your book while they are there.

You’re writing your book and you want the world to know about it, right? Well you have to groom them. 🗣 Stop telling people to buy your book but show them why they need to buy your book. What will they take away, what educational components are you giving them, what new way of viewing things will happen from your book. 🗣 Be consistent. Yes, I’m also talking to myself. If you post sporadically and then disappear it is a high probability people will forget about you. When you come back DON’T post overload. Schedule those post so you have regular consistent content. 🗣 Email lists do work. I promise. Building and utilizing your email list will not only help your audience stay in the know about your new release and any other products you have coming but it also adds an elite flair. The list can serve as signups for events, cross promotions for your speaking engagements and quite a bit more. 🗣 Talking to everyone is the same as talking to no one. Be clear who you are talking to. Call them out. 🗣 Your reviews will help you convert lurkers into readers. (Video coming on this soon) As a new author the reviews from your advanced readers will give insight and entice others to want to pick up your book. Post those reviews y’all! Save this post as a reference and go out and be great on your author journey. #raelegacypublishing #raelegacypress #raelegacyfamily #editor #publisher #legacycreators #femalepublisherstt #womeninpublishing #nowacceptingnewclients #unity #authorscommunity #bookstagram #bookworm #womenwhowrite #writingtips #blackbookstagram #literacy #raelegacyapproved #takenotes

When you finally get the inspiration to pick up the pen and write again. Today I was reminded that people can speak from 3 places: experience, observation, and revelation. As I pondered those three words and replayed the last several weeks, it hit me. It’s time to make the pages speak for me. I’m coming up on the 3 year anniversary of my memoir The Relational Mindset and the lessons, mistakes, and all things in between was for a purpose. Follow me not only on the journey of my authors but my writing journey as well. It feels good to drop the weight and have focus to take myself from pen to publication once again. #raelegacypublishing #pentopublication #amwriting #writingjourney #womenwhowrite #backinthegame #newbookcomingsoon

A beautiful love gone astray. We say men can’t handle the hurt they give but can women handle the hurt they give to men? Got Milk…a captivating, thrilling, and romantically tantalizing novel by The Uncovered Veil.

Procrastinating and being fearful of your message won’t produce the results you want from your book. Publishing and expecting people to find it will only to lead to disappointment. 📚Write a compelling story and be sure you expense for a detailed edit and outside critique of your work. 📚 Have a solid plan for getting the word out about your book. Posting once you release and asking for book sales won’t cut it. Which leads me to…. 📚Give value. Out of all of the books someone can pick up and read, what makes yours special? Which also leads to…. 📚 Knowing your audience. Who the heck are you talking to and who are you writing for. Targeting carpenters when you wrote a book romance book won’t do it y’all. 📚 Open your mouth and put yourself out there. You are a walking billboard so make sure the information and your messaging flows from you naturally. If you’re unsure of the plan you need to have…let’s talk about it. #raelegacypublishing #raelegacypress #raelegacyfamily #editor #publisher #legacycreators #femalepublishers #womeninpublishing #nowacceptingnewclients #unity #authorscommunity #bookstagram #bookworm #womenwhowrite #writingtips #blackbookstagram #literacy #raelegacyapproved #takenotes
