ROBIN LEIGH MORGAN'S PROMOTIONAL/MARKETING IDEAS # 30

Gather some of your loyal readers and create a team which will assist in the launch of your latest book[s]. Entice them with free ARCs [advance reader’s copies] of your new release.

ROBIN LEIGH MORGAN'S PROMOTIONAL/MARKETING IDEAS # 29

Try to create some sort of meme, hopefully humorous for your book.

ROBIN LEIGH MORGAN'S PROMOTIONAL/MARKETING IDEAS # 28

I know I haven't posted any idea for the marketing and promotional ideas for your book[s] in a while. So to make it up I'll be posting three of them now.

Many times, when I write a review I include a song which the book I was reading reminded me of. When the author read my review she/he said it had capture the essence of the story. So why find a song which does just this. Try to use it in any marketing/promotional activity you might be doing.

STATUS REPORT # 128

While my erotic side is having a slight case of writer’s block and is debating whether of not to include a certain chapter consisting of a scene of BDSM before moving on with the rest of the storyline she’s got in mind. I’ve completed doing a total grammar check on my adult contemporary romance novel, “His Darkest Secret,” by running it three times. At the present time this manuscript has 36 Chapters, about 240 pages with approximately 61,250 words; and I see myself needing about 6/7 more chapters, 42 more pages or 10,500 more words.

I know I’ve been neglecting to post some more marketing/promotional ideas, but it’s essentially because I’ve been concentrating on my book reviewing efforts. As of the date I’m writing this update [04/18/2018] I had posted my 800^th review on Amazon-US.  So, if anyone is interested suggestions in finding their next book to read, you invited to check them out at:

HAIKU HORIZONS # 35 - BAR

This week I’ve decided not to wait for the last moment to response to the prompt word, so here’s the current week’s prompt from the Haiku Horizon site which is “BAR” and here are my three Haiku response endeavors:  

[ https://haikuhorizons.wordpress.com ]

Drunk guy passes bar.

He’s doesn’t go in to drink.
He’s a lawyer now.

Ballet dancer cries.

She can’t reach the practice bar.
Midget needs more height

Can’t pass the class

Teacher keeps raising the bar
Forcing me to fail.

I’d love to get your feedback.

HAIKU HORIZONS # 34 - PIN

Here’s the current week’s prompt from the Haiku Horizon site is “PIN” and here are my three Haiku response endeavors:  

[ https://haikuhorizons.wordpress.com ]

Cruel man with a pin

Gets joy popping kid’s balloon

When child start crying

Breaking up is sad.

The ache is very painful

Pin stuck into heart

Pin tail on donkey.

Childhood birthday party game.

Where has the fun gone

HAIKU HORIZON # 33 - FOOL

Here is this week’s prompt from the Haiku Horizon site which is “FOOL” and here are my three Haiku response endeavors:  

[ https://haikuhorizons.wordpress.com ]

April Fools Day’s here

Make someone believe a lie

Look your shoe’s bleeding

Fool and his money

Can be soon lost by a scam

So, don’t carry some

A fool never learns

That’s why he remains a fool

No use repeating

I would love to get your feedback here.

STATUS REPORT # 127

My erotic side now completed the re-read/re-editing of the GLBT/BDSM manuscript she’s been working on and will need about 6/7 more chapters before the elusive last period gets to be typed. Meanwhile, in order for me to starting working on my own two WIP manuscripts I’d started researching the issue which had been confronting me. After checking out a few KINDLE books I’ve got on my reader, I see that I don’t need to worry about page numbers or the headers [my name and the book’s title], which means I can resume working on them. This doesn’t include my erotic side’s other endeavors. 

Working on these four endeavors at the same will require a great deal of scheduling when I combine them with all the other things I’m involved with so I won’t negate working on them as I’m doing now. One major component of the three WIP manuscripts is the re-reading and re-editing of them. I’m just going to need to make adjustments to the spreadsheet I’ve been using for each book, and designing one or two more.

I believe I’ve also resolved the cover design issue I’d been facing regarding how to have all the cover components [picture/illustration, book title, and author’s name] present when the cover is completed; more on this when I’ve completed each book.

So starting tomorrow, April 7, 2018, I’m going to play catch up with the entries I’ve failed to post anything for during the past few weeks. Since I haven’t done any real work on my various manuscripts so far this year, I’ve been able to post quite book reviews on Amazon and elsewhere. However, I haven’t posted any here on this blog; so I’m going to start posting what I consider my better reviews,  before moving on to posting more on a regular on-going basis.
