from Author Diary Entries · host Sagan Morrow

I was originally going to publish Small Town Stilettos: a modern marriage of convenience a couple years ago… so, why has it taken so long to actually publish it?? In this episode, I’m sharing a few of the obstacles that have gotten in my way — plus the story behind the delays I experienced with the cover design, and how that has contributed to my procrastination. We discuss… Why the book cover design was such a big roadblock (backstory to the cover design saga of Small Town Stilettos)The customer service “red flags” that led to me choosing a different cover designerThe importance of being an active participant in the decision-making process as a self-published authorHow I was using the book cover design delays as an excuse to procrastinate on doing book editsResources & links mentioned in this episode: Add Small Town Stilettos to your Want to Read list: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55302931-small-town-stilettosGet success & life coaching: https://saganmorrow.com/coaching Tune into Indie Author Weekly on your favourite podcast platform at https://saganmorrow.com/podcast Learn more about all of Sagan’s books (including the Polyamorous Passions romcom series, Small Town Stilettos, and her business books for solopreneurs) at https://saganmorrow.com/books/ Subscribe, rate, and review this podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/indie-author-weekly/id1469586590 Check out Sagan’s YouTube channel to watch the video versions of these podcast episodes: https://www.youtube.com/user/SaganMorrow Enroll in the Productivity Powerhouse anti-hustle e-course: https://saganmorrow.com/powerhouse Let’s chat about this episode:@Saganlives on Twitter and InstagramHashtag: #IndieAuthorWeeklyEmail: [email protected] Share your thoughts (or submit requests for future episode topics) at https://saganmorrow.com/question Send fan mail!

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
