Tunnel vision

Getting close to finishing this bitch of a novel that's preoccupied me for so long. Yes. I am almost finished.

Inside the mind of the troll

Former troll Paul Jun tells it like it is. Get yourself some principles to help you deal with attention-seeking haters. And yes, never, ever, ever feed trolls.

http://99u.com/articles/25151/dont-fe...

He also offers this sensible advice from James Altucher: “No matter who you are, no matter what you do, no matter who your audience is: 30 percent will love it, 30 percent will hate it, and 30 percent won’t care. Stick with the people who love you and don’t spend a single second on the rest. Life will be better that way.”

Puts it all in perspective, right?

All-you-can-read pricing

Keeping it real: at #oyster, no one gets paid until readers actually read. What do people think about this? Is it really so bad? http://ow.ly/yhMQg

Freebies!

I'm celebrating getting my novels on Amazon with DIM available on Kindle for free for the next five days. Yee-ha! Download yours and do me a favour - review it when you're done. I'm pitifully low on reviews.

Is it weird to rate your own books?

The stars just look so naked when you don't. So I did. I gave them 5 stars, even though they're not perfect, because, in the end, they're mine.
