Indie Life (#5,026) Bestsellers won’t court every sale And chase down each review. (IMHO: because those jerks Just can’t be bothered to.) In me you have the weirdest friend You didn’t want to know. …If you follow your heart, for once And click the link below… #poetry #nonsense #5amwritersclub

Having only a couple of readers at a time like I do is fun, because then you get to pester each one of them individually. I mean, what? #5amwritersclub

Hey @pgsundling.bsky.social: I tried to DM you, but pictures weren’t allowed. (And I didn’t think you‘d mind as this is kind of a lighthearted author transparency thing anyway… and no one sees my posts anyway…) Anyway. If you were worried about my implied… lack of brevity, don’t bother. 😂

These days I always “download” and keep at least 2 versions of a #WIP from Google Docs, usually overwriting the least recent. So this is about the pace that we’re working with: (It’s … something!) #5amwritersclub

#5amwritersclub My latest YA chapter is called, “Like, duh.” And ends “…stupid, stupid, stupid.” Despite all this, I think it’s actually a pretty good chapter. 😏. Keep up your own good work, peeps!

Why do other #indie see success when I don’t? Just because they spend more time and energy cultivating their readership and spend money on ads and are generally more popular and likable and believe in themselves and, maybe, #write better? I mean, that’s only like 6 really good reasons.
