As I’m building this blog, I’m considering all that I’d like to see on it—such as “Odd Woman Out”, a cross between chick-lit and mainstream fiction, comprised of weekly installments.
Apparently, next to no one has read it, but then I don’t exactly advertise it. My posts on Facebook seem to do little. I’m guessing a) it just plain sucks or b) I’m not “selling” it properly. As my fragile writer’s ego doesn’t want to believe it’s doggy-doo, I’ll opt for the second reason: I don’t (yet) know what I’m doing.
So-o, I asked the amazing, ever-helpful folks in the SPF Community and received fabulous advice. If you want to get some traction with your books on Wattpad, do the following:
- get your book featured
- follow, vote and comment on stories in your genre
- be aware that Wattpad caters more to YA, fanfic, and romance (but you can still make inroads, so don’t be deterred)
- get your book featured
- enter a contest
- post regularly / make sure chapters and the like appear regularly, and
- get your book featured.
. . . I believe I’ll see if I can get my book featured. <LOL>

I'm primarily a writer of fiction and blog posts, and a sometimes editor and proofreader of books, manuals, and film/television scripts. Fact-checking and researching, organizing and coordinating are skills and joys (I enjoy playing detective and developing structure). My fiction audience: lovers of female-sleuth mysteries. My genres of preference: mysteries (needless to say), women’s fiction, informative and helpful “affirmative” non-fiction.
So-o, here I am, staring up a new blog for aspiring and established e-Book writers. The plan: to share the (long) journey of getting to this stage, and share "learnings" and "teachings". There's a lot I hope to accomplish with this blog, but it may be a while before that happens as there's a lot on the ol' plate - taking care of Mom, working full-time, and attempting to get another book in the Triple Threat Investigation Agency series written (never mind blog postings and other writing projects).
It's very challenging and it's all good. As I like to say: teeny focused baby steps are just as effective as long forceful strides. It may take a little longer, but we will get there.
