This past week has felt hectic here in the RV, as I've been updating all of my social media accounts in an attempt to polish them up. I've also been diving into the new-to-me realm of Google +. Who knew there were so many HUGE groups there? Well, just a few days ago, This Aaron Guy had absolutely no idea! So, I've been joining groups, sharing my book, helping other authors out with book covers, and whatever else pertains to the whole social media self publishing book arena thing. All this in an attempt to build my author platform to get the word out that I have a book, and that I'm officially an author. If you feel the urge, come look me up HERE. I'm sure we'll find something interesting to talk about!
I also actually took the time while I was offline to continue writing in the novel, and rewriting what I already have there. The rewriting process seems to go much slower than I had ever imagined! Yesterday afternoon, I figured it was probably about 2:00 or 2:30, and when I looked up at the clock, it was after 4:00. Where did my day go?! It's been going well, though, and I really think I'm getting the story and dialogue polished up. All those other author blogs I've been reading have been teaching me tons concerning technique and storytelling, and I've been implementing all of this newly integrated knowledge. I finally feel connected in the writers' community. I know, sometimes I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I generally get there eventually!
I've also been reading a lot more in the past few days than I have in a very long time. I blasted through the first Jack Reacher novel that was published between Saturday afternoon and last night. Be on the lookout for my review of Killing Floor on Goodreads in the coming days.
Until next time, stay safe, and above all, be true to yourself.
That Aaron Guy
