Welcome to the second day of my 15 day “HAPPY BIRTHDAY: ARE YOU
WATCHING NONNIE WRITE?” Blog Tour and I’m here with the very supportive, A.
G. Moye who was kind enough to take time out to share this beautiful space with
me.
This month marks the one year anniversary of my burst onto
the social media scene and during that time, I have published three REALLY GOOD
books, and have learned so very much about the industry. Although I’ve been a writer for most of my
life (actually, I was born one), I only just became a published author in
2013. Some might say “In that short amount of time, what does she
know?” Well, I’m here to tell you that “SHE” has learned a lot! “SHE” has taken the time to hone her
skills in the writing department as well as her knowledge. “SHE”
has taken the bull by the horn and run full speed ahead in building her author
platform and establishing herself in the writing industry. “SHE”
is making her name KNOWN.
On each stop of my tour, I share with you tips on writing,
publishing and support, all topics equally important to the writing
industry. I hope that what I am
imparting, you will take, mull over, and then act on in the best interest of
YOU.
With that being said here is…
ALIGNING
YOURSELF WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE
When you became an Author, did you imagine that you would
have everything in common with all the other folks who wore the title? Did you
think it would be easy simply because you were in the company (virtually, so to
speak) of other writers?
When I became a published author, I initially met more
resistance than offers to connect with certain individuals in the publishing
world. A few of them were clearly ONLY
out for their own best interests, and didn’t wish to focus on furthering any
career other than their own. Then I met
a friend and as we connected, we not only felt that we were walking the same
road, challenges and successes equally, it became apparent to us that we were
headed in the same direction. She and I
today call each other “SUCCESS PARTNERS.”
We email each other daily our top 5 things that we need to get done that
day and we encourage each other to stay the path of our planned goals.
It was clear early on that and my friend and I were of
like-mind. We are two moms, both
published authors, who battle daily the challenges of getting our books
marketed and sold. I understand her
highs and lows and she understands mine.
I’ve since formed an organization where I am surrounded by
like-minded people. I will offer that
the Governing Board, which I personally hand-picked to serve, is truly a family
of like-minds. It’s eerie sometimes to
share our thoughts with one another only to find that there are others who
share the same thoughts and have the same goals.
We have a membership now of over 300 individuals and I would
like to think that they are also of like-mind.
The premiere basis of this organization {RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB} is that of true support, and in processing
many of the membership applications which flow through, there is a common theme
in the statements of potential members. “I would like to support as well as be
supported,” is the one statement
that makes us know this individual will do well as part of our family, where TEAM is defined as TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE.
It is very important to align yourself with people who share
your ideals on success and support, you know…the ones who are going to lift you
up and not try to tear you down. The
ones that you’re able to call on, lean on and garner support from; those are the kinds of individuals to
surround yourself with.
I’d like to take this opportunity to extend a heart-felt
invitation to all of you to join us at RAVE
REVIEWS BOOK CLUB. AS SOON AS you
walk thru the door (i.e., see your name on the roster) you will feel this
overwhelming sense of “HOME!” Here you will be supported…PROFILED, PROMOTED & PROPELLED to the highest of heights. Here you will be in the company of truly
like-minds. We all share a common goal
here, and that is to succeed and to help others do the same.
I’m sitting here now waiting to process that application of
yours which I know you will be sending thru shortly. JOIN OUR LIKE-MINDS today!
Thanks so much for having me A.G. and many thanks to your
wonderful readers!
