Giveaway Still Running
May. 15th, 2014 09:44 amhttp://tinyurl.com/m7j9kc9
I need at least seven entries, as I'm giving away seven prizes, and the easiest way to enter is to simply like my Facebook page. You can get more entries for leaving comments at the website, because Comments are Love, and for getting involved, as I really would love to have more reader involvement. My aim, for the future, is for all of my worlds to be shared, due to my location - I'm based in the UK, so I write about the places I know for any of my Earth based work and I would really love to have writers all over the world, as well as having other writers for the fantasy worlds I've created, partly because I don't think I'll ever be able to fill all the worlds of the Web by myself.
Why do I keep doing giveaways? Well, it's a good way to get writing, and once these stories are written they'll go on the sponsorable stories list, they'll go in the collection ebooks, and they'll be sold by themselves as bundles, so they will, in time, make money. Having someone tell me what they want to see really does help, as do prompts (some of the time), so that's why I do these giveaways. I do need to update the sponsorable stories list, because there are a number of stories not on there and update the donor perks to include the ebook perk, although I might not do that until I have all of the ebooks available.
A couple of days ago I made my first ebook sale, which makes me very happy. I'd like to get a couple of sponsorships set up, just because that means I have definite money coming in every month, and I've been talking with someone who might become my first sponsor. The idea is still to earn enough by the end of May to be able to pay for James' registration fee, but, due to his uncertainty about which course he wants to do I should have a bit extra time. He's going to have a look at some of the free courses online, to see which he thinks will work best for him, and then we'll go from there. At the moment, though, he's pulled his back, again, so he's in more discomfort than usual and every time he moved wrong yesterday he felt worse, and, of course, there wasn't much I could do to help.
