#ScribesAndMakers 8: What is the nicest thing anyone has said about your work?

It would be unfair to rank because there were a lot of nice things said and each of them came from the heart and therefore, I won't pick a nicest.

What makes me most proud is when I get a compliment from a fellow author because I know that those will see where you goofed up, couldn't hold the tension, or used the wrong word.

I think what made me the most happy was when a reader commented that they usually only read well-known #SciFi authors because that felt like the safest return of investment (I am paraphrasing) but they picked up #HeraldPetrel after they had seen my activity here and were so pleasantly surprised that they will now look into works from other #IndieAuthors now as well.

Trailblazing for a whole community? Now THAT'S a compliment you don't get often! :peace:

Last day of the #Smashwords #ebookweek25 sale!

It ends 11.59pm Saturday 8 March Pacific Time (which is 3.59pm Sunday in Perth, Australia, and that’s the last timezone help I can give anyone 😂)

It’s a great chance to stock up on DRM-free ebooks — browse those two hashtags to check out the huge range of Mastodon indie authors with their books on sale.

The Smashwords Read-an-Ebook sale has started — which is very convenient timing for anyone maybe looking around for alternatives to Amazon right now.

There’s heaps of DRM-free indie books on sale or even free for the next week:
smashwords.com/shelves/promos

Mine are here, all 50% off (making them the massive investment of US$2 to try out) for escapist queer romantic fantasy fun:

All proceeds to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Content warnings on my website: wendypalmer.au/content-warning

There’ll be plenty of other #MastoAuthors on sale there too (feel free to tag yourselves).

Give it a browse, you might discover your next favourite writer

An extension of the usual Smashwords Read-an-Ebook orange and grey advertising banner, which is those words plus a cartoon woman reading on her phone. This one adds an ereader with a pile of physical books stacked atop it (cartoon still), and some words about discovering new indie authors, getting DRM-free, great discounts - the point being a fantastic opportunity to stock up.

I answered 10 questions about myself and my writing over on Little Stacks. Are my answers funny? Maaybe. (I mean, I really hope so.) They're definitely honest!

While you're there, check out Little Stacks, get notified of new releases by your favorite authors, and square up your TBR pile!

In February, I am throwing together fake book covers daily on my blog to force myself to learn Affinity Publisher so I can drop my Adobe InDesign subscription.

Coming up with taglines for these imaginary books has been the best part.
