Let’s get into the other things first…
On July 18 it will be the tenth anniversary of uploading my two books Lotto and London onto Smashwords and going live. That means, as of the 18th of July, it will be exactly ten years of self-publishing.
Fuck!
Onto other even more exciting things…
There’s a new docu-movie about Jackie that premiered last month at Tribeca, aired in London, and on CNN in America, but I’m still waiting to see where and when it comes to Aus.
The trailer is below and it’s saucy and sexy. CANNOT WAIT to see it. Even the music is perfect.
Onto the half year catch-up…
Here’s what I had ALREADY achieved in the first month of the 2021…
– 1 – I closed down the Porn Star Brothers website and moved much of it here to L.J. DIVA. This process started in November, and is now finished.
– 2 – So that means I added a lot of special pages here at LJD with exciting extras concerning the Porn Star Brothers series. The Story’s Timeline, Family Tree, Business Tree, Book Quotes, and Character Lists were added to the menu. I also added extras for the four novels in Book Quotes and Character Lists, AND added a HOT MEN page full of pics of the men who have inspired the characters in my books, along with hot men in general to inspire heroes in anyone’s novels.
– 3 – Reworked the book pages so all of the books are now on the BOOKSTORE page and then link off to their individual pages which have many store links to buy from, plus other relevant information.
– 4 – Spiffied up the front page a little by adding two sections for the PSB series and extras, and changed the “For Your Enjoyment” section to Novels. I also changed out the social media apps for pics at the bottom. I prefer them more than the useless widgets that never update properly. And it’s the three I’m on most.
– 5 – Sent 544 blog posts back into draft mode, purely because after twelve years they no longer reflect who I am, or where I want to take this website.
Here’s what WAS in the making for 2021…(these were in black at the beginning of the year)
– 1 – The release my four standalone novels in large print and dust jacket hardcovers.
– 2 – The release of the Porn Star Brothers series in dust jacket hardcovers.
Meanwhile, here’s what I WANTED to achieve for 2021…
– 1 – Get the cover for the final Porn Star Brother finished, uploaded, and proofed as a paperback and dust jacket hardcover for release in March.
– 2 – MAYBE write a novel and MAYBE release it in September, BUT there is no promise and no deadline.
– 3 – Continue to post to Insta, FB, TW more during the week and pin to my Pinterest boards monthly.
– 4 – Write a short story for a reader magnet. I have an idea, it’s interesting…
– 5 – Get that mailing list set up for my books, and a newsletter set up on the website.
Well, as you can see, only a few extra things have turned green, but it’s a start since the first five things were already done in January.
Now let’s get into what I achieved in June from the list of things to get done…
– 1 – Write a short story as a reader magnet for my mailing list.
– 2 – Get my mailing list done.
– 3 – Get July’s blog post done.
– 4 – Find other stuff to post on social media. It’s tough when you’re not doing much to promote yourself and you have to find something outside of yourself to post about.
Well, as you can see, only one thing on the list got done.
Now let’s launch into what I want to get done in July…
– 1 – Write a short story as a reader magnet for my mailing list.
– 2 – Get my mailing list done.
– 3 – Get August’s blog post done.
– 4 – Find other stuff to post on social media. It’s tough when you’re not doing much to promote yourself and you have to find something outside of yourself to post about.
It’s pretty much the same as last month, and will continue being the same every month until something else to do pops up.
Meanwhile…
