“Kitty’s personality ended up being what kept my attention” - this review on @goodreads is exactly what I had hoped readers would find in my book, @Kittythedogbook #TalesofaDogNamedKitty #childrensliterature #dogstories #newauthor

It’s so easy to get disheartened when comparing yourself to other authors. “They sold 400 books this month. I’m a failure.” Then you learn that most books don’t sell 100 books in their lifetime. The message is don’t compare yourself to others. Keep your head down, keep going

When looking for a publisher for my #childrensbook the majority would not accept submissions that were not “alternative lifestyle” or ethnic.

So, you can’t write, you won’t try, and you’re not remotely embarrassed about having no original thoughts of your own - you need a slop machine to do it for you. Absolutely astounding self own and you really should be embarrassed because … bruh. Like … you have a brain. Use it

I will donate!
Our team, our local program partners, and every operational partner who helps make this program possible each month are heartbroken at the loss of our founder, Dolly Parton. (cont.)

I am: an indie author ✍️ I need: more sales (every one counts!) Reason: I need proof for my family that people still want to read a book in 2026.
