So, I just finished the first read-through of my work-in-progress novel, and am truly pleased with it.
However, much like racing to the end of a good book, my #writing rushed to the end of this one. The final several chapters need a lot more meat on their bones.
Still, it feels good to reach this point. Now, onward to the second (of many) reading. #writingcommunity #writers
The latest from my #writing blog is a short post on #Amazon A+ Content, if you're interested #writingcommunity
This is the third (and final) new cover for my Oxbow Kingdom Trilogy--Warlock & Wyrm; Book Three. #writing #writingcommunity #fantasy

Question for #writers & the #writingcommunity : What online advertising/sales platforms have you had the most success with recently?
For better or worse, I reduced my advertising during the COVID economic downturn, and am trying to ramp it back up, but my frame of reference is outdated. I was using Amazon Ads and BookBub and some smaller services, but I feel out of the loop. Any comments are appreciated.
Latest from my #writing blog: In honor of the 10th anniversary of Crimson & Cream's publishing, I commissioned new book covers for the entire Oxbow Kingdom Trilogy. #writingcommunity #fantasy

I have a new article posted to my blog regarding my dabbling in AI-generated art, if you're interested.
Since I was posting daily #nanowrimo updates back in November, I realize I haven't said much in the way of #writing lately.
I'm reading/editing/polishing the first draft of my fantasy/sci-fi novel. Planning to tackle Chapter 18 (out of 59) today.
IMHO, it's going well. ๐
Nothing inspires me to write like reading my favorite authors. Currently knee-deep in a Joe Abercrombie novel, and itching to work on my own story. It's a good feeling.
I have a new blog post featuring some 2022 BookBub marketing and self-publishing resources, if you're interested.

Daily #nanowrimo update: 26,291 words written in 22 days.
As of last night, I've finished the first draft! ๐พ ๐ ๐
So since I'll be transitioning into the revising/editing/polishing phase, I'll stop with the daily word count updates (lucky you, #CoSo) ๐
Thank you all for your support, and Happy #Thanksgiving! ๐ฆ
FYI, this is me, procrastinating.
Question for other CoSo writers. I'm an indie/self-published fantasy novelist and do my own advertising. For a variety or reasons, I stopped running book ads during the pandemic, but am starting up again.
Do you have luck with any online advertising platforms you could recommend? I just ran an ad with Fantasy Book Deals which generated zero sales. Feels like I'm starting from scratch. Appreciate any tips. Thanks!
