Creations, Chromebooks & Chats

August 13, 2023

As we step into another scorching month, I come bearing fantastic news. The projects that jumped to the forefront of my creative journey have triumphantly reached their conclusion. I'm thrilled to announce that my 24 Hour 2-page per day organizer and my ChatGPT book are now available for all to enjoy. (Hooray!) The road to their release was paved with unique challenges, but today, they shine brightly on both Amazon and Draft 2 Digital platforms. What a joy to be able to share my work across multiple avenues! Draft 2 Digital even tracks my books' journey to various booksellers, an awesome perk of publishing wide.

Currently, I'm meticulously updating Echoes Of Innocence for one last revision while simultaneously diving into the creation of Drake's Orb. This Sci-Fi gem will now include chapter illustrations, just as I've added to my Urban Fantasy series. The creative process has been immensely rewarding, and I'm eagerly waiting to release these adventures!

In the realm of marketing, my Amazon ads are still an ongoing challenge and I'm vigorously engaging on every possible social media platform. Furthermore, (see what noir writing does to me?) I've secured ad space in a few magazines set to continue through next year. (Yes!) I've also been enjoying releasing Linkedin articles every week, sparking the idea of someday compiling them into another book.

My weekly noir posts continue to captivate readers' attention (and my own). I love weaving an alternate perspective on our everyday reality, alternating between Noir-inspired entries that add a dash of grit and intrigue. Ah, the twists and turns of creative life!

My digital gallery in Fine Art America is being populated, showcasing the most cherished photos from my two books and current posts. Each photo has a life of its own, offered as prints across a wide range of products. This platform, coupled with Etsy, are forming an ideal place for my photography and designs. Plus, I’m learning more about life as an entrepreneur.

Speaking of learning, I'm still in an entrepreneurship course at Texas A&M. As a delightful bonus, we were gifted a Chromebook, a year's worth of free internet, and half a year subscription to QuickBooks. (How awesome is that?) The knowledge gained in these initial months has been a revelation, setting the stage for the exciting journey that lies ahead.

I hope everyone is getting through these sweltering summer days. May we all continue to discover silver linings in every challenge that arises. Regardless of what tomorrow holds, let's celebrate the best within ourselves and ignite passions all around us with our unwavering determination. Onwards! +
