Has anyone ever received a scam call where they mention the title of your novel and name all the places they can help you advertise?

@ClementB13279 When I start writing it’s only an idea of what will happen at the end. The more I write, the better I know a character. Therefore, there are times when the planned ending doesn’t make sense for the character. Also, I’m a pantzer, and let the story naturally progress.

An update on what’s happening in this writer’s life, this week on the blog.

@ClementB13279 I usually have something in mind when I start, but it often changes when I get there.

My wife (first reader) is reading my new novel and asked a question that we both know I can’t answer. Is she going to like the ending? Of course, this is her way of asking if it’s a happy ending or not.

What kind of ending do you prefer?

#WritingCommunity,
Have you done an audiobook for your indie novel? Is it beneficial?

[Stephen Roth @StephenRoth316]

Have you ever realized one of your bad habits, then looked back at your old work to see how long you’ve looked like an idiot?

I’m reading a story I put aside 2 years ago and loving the unlikable MC. Definitely more fun to write. What are your thoughts on unlikable main characters?

Today, I’m printing copies of my new book for first readers and playing around with book covers.

I just finished the final editing session for the House that wasn’t There. Now comes the business of turning it into a novel.

Well, I’m no longer the author of 3 books on genetics. The Goodreads librarians work fast.

[Stephen Roth @StephenRoth316]

Goodreads seems to think I wrote 3 books on genetics. Nope. I guess I shouldn’t have waited a year to setup my author profile.

[Stephen Roth @StephenRoth316]

Who would have guessed that a book doesn’t promote itself. A year after self-publishing Reel Ghosts, I’m finally trying to market my book. Better late than never.

I listened to an audiobook today that had an AI voice. It was eerily human. Honestly, it did a better job than several human narrators I’ve heard.

Has anyone else experienced this?
