\"show<\/a>I’m excited to be teaching our next “30-Day Writing Challenge to Plan Your Novel” <\/a>that started June 1st. Ezra and I got\u00a0ready by talking about story. (We’re always talking about story! Check out our YouTube video on that topic.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I’ve also been writing a new romance novella and sending out book review queries to book reviewers and bloggers.<\/p>\n

Clarify + Simplify Your Writing Life<\/h2>\n

My biggest challenge in writing and marketing my fiction has been feelings of overwhelm and confusion. (Do you know the feeling?)<\/p>\n

I didn’t know where to start, and once I started I seemed to lose the threads of what I was doing from one day to the next.<\/p>\n

With the writing phase, I figured out a few solutions that have been working for me for years.<\/p>\n

I track my work and I set monthly goals for myself. That’s how I help create forward movement.<\/p>\n

And now I get clarity on what my story is about and who my characters are by using my “Plan Your Novel” curriculum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, with book marketing<\/strong>, I’ve been experiencing similar feelings of confusion and overwhelm.<\/p>\n

I finally realized I was making things difficult for myself. I needed one place to track my book marketing efforts, and I needed only one campaign upon which to focus my attention.<\/p>\n

I decided to focus on sending our review requests for my newest book, Touchstone Series: Romance Novella Books 1-4<\/a><\/em>, plus a bonus short story. I arbitrarily decided to aim for sending 100 queries in 6 months.<\/p>\n

That was a month and a half ago.<\/p>\n

A few things have changed since I set up my spreadsheet and started sending out queries: I’ve only sent out 20 queries, instead of the 25 I should have by now. (But not bad!) And, I’ve also been sending out queries for the first book in my young adult fantasy series, Henrietta The Dragon Slayer<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

(Because I’ve been finding those reviewers too. I track it all on the same spreadsheet. And it all counts.)<\/p>\n

Another lovely result: I have 2 new reviews of\u00a0Henrietta The Dragon Slayer<\/em>, and 1 new review of book 2 in the series, Henrietta and the Dragon Stone<\/a><\/em>. Plus 2\u00a0reviews of Touchstone Series<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But the important thing is I’m sending out queries, getting reviews, and even have a guest post coming out soon. (I just wrote one on labyrinths.)<\/p>\n

If you’re struggling with overwhelm and confusion in writing or marketing your novel, here are some steps you can take:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What’s not going as you’d like? Get clear on the problem.<\/strong>
    \n

    I’m overwhelmed. Or, confused. Or, something else.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  2. What would you like? State what you’d like.<\/strong>
    \n

    I want to write more, more often. Or, I want to request reviews for one of my books. or, something else.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  3. When can you complete this? Set a reasonable goal by a reasonable time.<\/strong>
    \n

    One month. Or, six months. Etc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  4. How will you track your progress? Create a simple spreadsheet to track your progress and follow up.<\/strong>
    \n

    I’ve created a template you’re welcome to download and adapt as needed.<\/p>\n

    Click here to download.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    **Be sure to download to use; don’t start filling it out online.**<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The other day a friend of mine said I ask good questions that are gentle and direct<\/strong>.\u00a0I really appreciated that characterization. Hopefully, my questions here have been gentle and direct and help move you into action.<\/p>\n

    What is your main challenge with moving forward on your writing, or marketing your novel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Comment below\u00a0and let me know.<\/p>\n

    I’m always interested in hearing from you.<\/p>\n

    All my best,<\/p>\n
