MY REVIEW

I am always interested in a way to make my blog pay for itself and affiliate marketing seems to be a useful tool. Google AdSense may be a no brainer for us bloggers. I have checked into it before, but never followed through. After reading Affiliate Marketing For Beginners, I aim to correct that.

Audrey K Andado has created an easy to read guide for beginners like me and I found ideas percolating as I read along. My main thing is overcoming procrastination. Quit thinking, I’ll do that later or tomorrow is a good day for taking care of business.

I recommend grabbing a copy to guide you along in your first adventure into affiliate marketing. We all want financial independence and this could be the first turn in the road for making that happen.

Book Description:

Do you have a story in you?

Do you know how to write it or how to tell it? Creating Stories has the answers. Hank Quense, the author of more than twenty books, tells you how to do it. He believes that stories come from the melding of three elements: getting ideas, story design and story-telling. Ideas have to come from the author. Creating Stories covers the last two. The book concentrates on developing characters including such rarely discussed requirements such as a dominant reader emotion and the character’s biography. Plots are also covered in depth and a number of graphics are included to illustrate complex points. Another topic discusses subplots and how to utilize them and how to nest them within the main plot. A separate chapter discusses the relationship between the plot and the emotional arcs. Other topics covered are: character arcs, scene design, point-of-view, writing voice.

MY REVIEW

Self Publish A Book In 10 Steps by Hank Quense is a nonfiction guide to publishing and marketing your novel.

We all know there are many out there wanting to scam you for your money, so do your due diligence.

I found Self Publish A Book IN 10 Steps by Hank Quense to be chock full of vital information and all the things necessary to market and publish your book, but that doesn’t mean you can take a pass on doing your own research. It is a daunting task, but worth the effort to make your book a success.

MY REVIEW

Creating Stories by Hank Quense caught my eye because I have been writing for a long time. Not a novel, or anything like that, but journals. My mind pens a story and I jot down ideas. Isn’t it the follow through that is the difficult part? Where do I even begin?

Creating Stories by Hank Qunense is chock full of everything I need to know to write that novel I feel is buried deep, deep, deep inside. LOL The biggest problem was the amount of information.

That means, taking a step by step process. Beginning at the beginning. Hank Quense gives references, graphs, maps, and his process for writing in a 150 page book. It was not a quick read, because I find myself pausing, thinking. He gave examples of his work to clarify. A bit self serving, using his books for examples, but that’s okay. I would do it too.

I read an ebook, but if I ever do decide to write that novel that is buried deep, deep, deep inside me, I will be purchasing a physical copy. I love having things at my fingertips, laid out before me so I can easily move from one thing to another, whether it’s a book, a graph, or a Castlesque workboard. I can see myself laying things out like a murder board in a crime movie or TV show. I can see myself with a swivel chair, numerous boards surrounding me, and my computer at the forefront.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of Creating Stories by Hank Quense if you are writing. A book like Hank’s is hard for me to rate, as a novice. I didn’t understand some of it. I think it was a bit over my head. So, rating this for an author that is experienced and needs to refine their craft, I think this would be a 5 Star read. For someone like me, I would rate it a 4 Star read. I would think I would grow into it if I wanted to become a full time author.

Review – Play Better Golf With Easy Yoga by Patricia Bacall @PatriciaBacall1 #BenesserraPublishing

Posted on by

Amazon / KindleUnlimited / Audiobook / Goodreads

MY REVIEW

I never would have read this if it hadn’t been for a free day. Just because it’s free doesn’t bother me. Some of the best books I have ever read were free. Whether on my ereader, through brick and mortar stores, or through the library, I have traveled the world, lived through my wildest fantasies and even learned a few things along the way.

I have just gotten back into golf after an injury, so I was excited to swing the clubs. I even hit a few really good shots, and that made me feel good. The weather was warm, with a balmy breeze and the birds singing. What could be better?

Well, I did feel pretty stiff. Many of the swings felt awkward, out of sync. I knew I was tight. Always have been. I feel, with many of the things I learned in Play Better Golf With Easy Yoga by Patricia Bacall, I can improve my swing be availing myself of the suggested yoga poses and the reasons for them. The illustrations and instructions are good. I feel, with a little practice, I will be able to incorporate them into my exercise regimen. Some of them I am already doing, having picked them up through the internet for some reason or another.

The book is easy to read and understand. I learned more about target specific poses that incorporate your entire body, that being a necessity in golf. The poses are easy to convert to an easier style for those of us that are way too tight. lol

Body and mind working together to make your golf day even more enjoyable.
