{Guest Post} What are the top five things you must do as an Indie Author?

By Lorena Bathey

ONE

Write. Seems simple, huh? But if you don't write then you don't have anything to work with. And while this may be the most obvious step it is one that can trip up a lot of authors.

When I say write I mean, sit down with paper and pen, or a computer, and an idea. Then let that idea percolate and start writing what comes to your mind, heart, or fingers. Don't second guess and don't over analyze. This is the beginning process of being a writer. So let the thoughts, ideas, and characters introduce themselves to you. Write. It's that simple.

{Guest Post} Fairy Tales

By Brea Essex

When I was first asked to do a guest post today, I had no idea what I would write. Then it hit me: Ever After = Fairy Tales. You know, like “They lived happily ever after”?

            I don't know anyone who doesn't like fairy tales, be they of the Disney variety, or written by the brothers Grimm. Many try to make their life into a fairy tale—or wish they lived in one.

{Guest Post} Trotting the Internet

Trotting the Internet
By DM Yates

Hi.  I’m Donna.  I’m a writer/poet/reviewer/blogger and I’m excited to do this guest blog.  I thought about what to write, and I decided I want to share with everyone how I network myself and others through Internet sites.

Pack your bags and follow me as I spend 2 days networking for my blog and my writings.

I start my morning with a cup of coffee and my emails.  They've gotten out of hand again.  I have 184.  I use my usual formula, clearing off all ads and non-essential ones.  Next, starting from the bottom I go through 10, some leading me to blogs where I leave comments, some from friends/relatives and I reply.  Then I go to the newest and clear off 10 more, commenting or replying as necessary.  That's done.
