Deep in the wilderness, figures of mist guard a hidden doorway. Shadowed forests are patrolled by another predator, whose allegiance is yet undecided. And beneath the ice, a legendary weapon stirs, readying itself for the hand of the true wielder…https://t.co/e7K8BeDMyv

Early July we paddle-camped Ross Lake! Four days sailing the high...lake 🛶.

I also almost got scammed trying to figure out Amazon KDP. Details in the link. Spoiler - beware third party masqueraders.

Crisis averted. I am a bozo and was dealing with a third party calling themselves Amazon KDP 🤦‍♀️ thank goodness for @K_A_Hardeman who steered me in the right direction!!

[Jaima Lindell @JaimaLindell]

#indieauthors #selfpublishing who has published on Amazon KDP and is willing to give this newbie some advice? Is the $2k publishing package the only way to get a self-published book print-on-demand on Amazon?🤯Feel free to DM me if you have any advice!

On the last day of our paddle camping trip, clouds rolled in to trickle mist down the surrounding mountains. A huge raven flew through camp emitting strange calls, and wind made all the dark evergreen sway. Delightfully witchy 🌲🐦‍⬛

Or before bringing bouquets into the house! I loooove fresh flowers but have to monitor what I bring in to protect Paul 🐈

@K_A_Hardeman And lilies are crazy poisonous! My husband bought me some gorgeous lilys and after a Google I had to throw them out: even just if the pollen drops on cat fur and they lick it, it can be super toxic 😣 not worth the risk. Didn’t know that about tulips though!

Barista hands me a latte:

“Here you go!”

Me: “thank you!”

“Yeah no problem, enjoy!”

Me: “you too!”

My work is by the ocean and I hybrid wfh/in the office. My favorite part about going into the office is the salty sea smell when I get out of the car, or if I crack the window by my desk.

#indieauthors what is the biggest challenge of self-publishing for you? Is it the same as mine, or something different?

In the market for a proofreader (final grammar/typo etc.) edit before laying novel out in design! Anyone have someone they'd recommend? Fantasy new adult almost 138k words. #editing #indieauthors #selfpublishing

@raaaaaaaaaaaine Travel trope! Me (American) met him (Irish) in a hostel 3 days after I moved to New Zealand. First date on his motorcycle, hit it off right away. Immediately moved into a shared room in a house and travelled together. Together over 8 years now, married for over 6 ✈️

There is a certain energy that steals over me when I am thinking of resuming (or starting) a project. It slides under the skin, restless and itchy and excited all at the same time.

@zephyr_zane Ah yes I see. Sigh. Marketing is the hardest nut to crack!

LISHKA is happily with Beta readers and I'm now researching what else goes into self-publishing (read more updates in link).

Who has self-published and could offer advice on platforms, copyright, ISBN?

@RCahillAuthor That’s amazing congratulations! And whoa that’s a lotta work in a single year 😲

[Jaima Lindell @JaimaLindell]

This goes against my grain but I LIKE it! Gonna think on this one for sure.

It’s been a week and I’m still thinking about what my 14-yo son said when I asked him how he goes about achieving success:

“Doing the bare minimum required for the result needed.”

The boy is a straight A, top of class, scholarship student. Something important is going on here:
