Hey Folks,
I think we’re nearly over being ill. Other than this tiny bit of writing, I’ll spend the rest of the day doing nothing. The plan for tomorrow is to write and to work on the copyedit I received recently.
Awhile back I mentioned that I wish Mark Coker over at Smashwords would publish a print version of his podcasts for those of us who would rather read than listen.
Finally this morning I found he’s been doing that all along. You can find the Smart Author Podcast homepage at https://www.smashwords.com/podcast.
Once you’re there, you’ll see all the episodes listed down the page. To the right of each listing you’ll see a link that reads “Show notes.” Click that to view the written transcript of that episode.
The Book Marketing series begins with Episode 10.

I hope you’ve all been keeping up with Dean’s site even in my absence. There’s a lot going on over there.
At http://deanwesleysmith.com, scroll down to look at the past several topics. I recommend reading his post titled “New Author Earnings Report” and the 43 (at the time) comments. Very revealing.
More importantly, if you want some ideas on how to make a living with your writing, see “Earnings” at https://www.deanwesleysmith.com/earnings/.
