Writers On The Move: Creative Marketing
Apologies for the sad neglect of Slow and Steady Writers over the past months. My writing has speeded up a bit since I stopped agonizing over every word.
How did I do it? The A to Z challenge, a post every day except Sundays for the whole month of April, starting with A then each one starting with the next letter in the alphabet.
Some authors manage to cover different topics on as many as four blogs. Took me to manage one and I'm not there yet, W, X, Y and Z still to go.
Have a look the alphabet posts at my new author support site. The links to the Challenge and participants are there. It is my own support blog as a new author, where I log everything to be done as I market my novella. If you're a new or even not-so-new author, I'd love you to share your trials and tribulations there, too.
Today's question: I see lots of books for sale by other vendors on Amazon at vastly differing prices. If your book is not sold by Amazon but by an Amazon Marketplace vendor, what happens to royalties?
A summary of thoughts on Creative Marketing from my post at Writers on the Move:

Hauntings in the Garden: Be-Witching Halloween
The Hauntings in the Garden anthology is an excellent way to study the variations in length, story style and genre you can fit into a short novella.
The next step is to plan your own.
Outline Your Novella
An Internet search will produce hundreds of documents, all aimed at helping you outline a novel. I spent years following the
Snowflake Method. It is thorough, effective, and works, but in order to produce a novella in a limited time, I felt the need of a simpler step-by-step plan.
Searching for this article I found the helpful resources page from annie neugebauer and liked the pared-down novel help sheets as they outline the steps to take one by one.
I have never been able to master the ups and down of story arcs, the graphs, the long explanations. I just want to get on with the writing but I needed a flexible plan to keep me on track for the days I get stuck. No, it's not writer's block. I just write myself into a hole that I can't dig my way out of :-)
