There ...So true about there being no magic formula. There are so many different ways to approach marketing that it's almost impossible to predict which methods will click with some people but be a headache for others. (Like, lots of artists have found success on Tumblr, but people couldn't care less about my work there. Twitter's where I've actually managed to land some commissions and such, LOL.)Heather R.

In paper versions I have Elements of Fiction Writing: Conflict and Suspense, Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting Dynamic Characters and Effective Viewpoints, and the Emotion Thesaurus on their way in a box. :)<br /><br />I highly recommend Save the Cat and Take off Your Pants.

One of my favorite books, period. I can always go back to it. Also love On Writing by Stephen King since he is one of my idols. :)<br />I wish I could think of a marketing book that inspires me. LOL I usually just freak when I read marketing suggestions since I suck at all of them. :DJulie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.com
