“You wrote my Story”
Excuses, Excuses.
The Juicy Stuff
Yesterday was an exciting day. Not just because of the small herd of deer that were in my back yard enjoying the corn I put out for them but being in church, and listening to a testimony from one of the congregates, that also mentioned, “Sue, our new visitor, has written some books.”
I was surprised to say the least. I’ve only visited three times and the Lord has confirmed to me that this is the church He wants me to worship at now. I miss the people from my last church but am glad I’m not having to drive the 30 miles to go there.
I had carried one book in to show the pastor yesterday and had a couple more in the car. By the end of the service I sold two books just like that. No effort on my part other than having one available in hand and someone mentioning I have published books. (besides me, that is)
Word of mouth is another great way to sell our books. My first book I took with me to my Mammogram appointment and sold the first book I had ever written, just like that, to two people.
If we let people know we are writers and have written a book, they are naturally curious. Have a couple handy to be able to show them and you may have a sale. I mentioned writing with some new acquaintances at a lunch one day and sold four books right out of the backseat of my car.
Of course we advertise on social media but word of mouth sometimes goes much faster than someone hunting it up on a computer. Its much like gossip, the “juicy stuff” travels fast. 🙂

My Sunday Evening Entertainment
My small herd of friends came for dinner this evening. The 2 at the “dinner plate” is Dorothy and Dolly. The one to the right is Holly, and there’s poor Buckley on the hill to the left.
Once the girls walked away Buckley wanted corn. They wouldn’t let him eat with them, the stingy women!
Once the gals left he went to the plate and they left nothing for him! I’m going to have to have a talk with these gals.

“I AM – Devotional Style Short Stories” – RELEASED FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT
A young person with MORE Sense than 50% of Our Politicians.
She really nailed it!
This article was written by a 26 year old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who’s in grad school for her MBA. It’s a short article but definitely worth a read. I would love to see this go viral!!
“College Student: My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us
I’m sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of Democratic candidates calling for policies to “fix” the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook’s, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we’ve become completely blind to it…
