February 2023 Self-Promotion Party
Standard
Hello to everyone!
We are making our way towards the end of winter, and I thought it would be a good time to share what you have been writing and what you have written. I want once again to offer an opportunity for all writers who follow this blog to share information on their books. It can be very difficult to generate publicity for our writing, so I thought this little effort might help. All books may be mentioned, and there is no restriction on genre. This includes poetry and non-fiction.
To participate, simply give your name, your book, information about it, and where to purchase it in the comments section. Then please be willing to reblog and/or tweet this post. The more people that see it, the more publicity we can generate for everyone’s books.
Thank you for joining the publicity soiree!
Keep on writing!

A Writing Check-In
Standard
Now, as we enter the middle of February, seems like a good time to do a check-in and see how everyone is doing with their writing. I am well on my way to finishing a first draft, and then I hope to do a second draft of a previously drafted novel in March and April, and another second draft of yet another first draft of a different novel in May and June. Along the way, I will work on writing another first draft that is bouncing around in my imagination.
By the way, if you are wondering how I manage to do this, check out my book Get The Draft Done! Helping Writers Finish Their First Draft — how’s that for a bit of shameless self-promotion?!
So, I ask all of you: how is your writing going?

Quotations On Libraries
Standard
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
Jose Luis Borges
“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”
Albert Einstein
(www.wikipedia.org)
“A library is a place where you can live a thousand lives. So why are you waiting when you could be living? Visit your library today.”
Stephen King
“Libraries are the democratization of knowledge. With only the need for a library card, anyone can access the information of the world.”

The Beginning of 2023 Self-Promotion Party!
Standard
I thought it would be interesting to do a book promotion party by giving not only the name of your book and what it is about but also a quotation from your book, from anywhere in the text.
I offer the following from Maledicus: The Investigative Paranormal Society Book 1 by Charles F. French, which is as much a love story as it is a horror novel:
“As he did every morning, Roosevelt woke up and reached for Sarah, only to be dismayed when he realized she wasn’t there, that she was, indeed, gone, and he would have to make it through another day without her. That was the worst part of every day, having to face another waking period without Sarah” (18).
So, if you would like to join the party and promote your book, please offer a quotation!
Have fun, promote your book, and please share this post.
