After the recent update on my current position, I thought I would recap on what I’ve been doing over the last 2 years leading up to this point. So here it is, so far I have:
- Joined a writers’ group and attended critique sessions on a regular basis
- Gained feedback on my novel and edited (again and again and again)
- Written and published a story in the anthology ’18’
- Presented a critique session with my writers’ group at the QLD Writers’ festival
- Set up a Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) account
- Set up an Amazon Authors Page
- Set up a Goodreads account and posted book reviews
- Set up a Goodreads Author page
- Set up a WordPress blog and maintained a constant blogging presence to build my Author platform
- Set up a Facebook account as an Author
- Set up a Facebook Author Page
- Set up an e-mail account for myself as an Author (including a signature sign off with links to my social media)
- Created the back blurb for my novel
On top of all this, I’ve also researched:
- Formatting with HTML
- Marketing
- Writing techniques
- Story arcs
- Writing book reviews and much more
I’ve been holding off on getting an Employer ID Number (EIN) from the IRS which will prevent getting slugged with a high tax rate for sales in the US, but I will set this up before I publish.
And that’s pretty much it in a nut shell.

It would take an awfully big nut to fit all that activity within its shell my friend! I dont think even a coconut would come close
Perhaps an extra large coconut might do the trick?
