Writing – When To Bring in the Betas

Posted on June 25, 2022 by Andy

I am posting this mostly for my own information. At this point I am working on a new project. It is in the beginning stages so I have no idea when I will get to the point where I can reveal any details but I absolutely want to involve some beta readers. If you don’t…

My First Goodreads Review and My Response

Posted on June 20, 2022June 20, 2022 by Andy

UPDATE: Both the review and my reply are gone! Imagine that. Maybe two hours after I publish my reply, they decided to pull the review. Huh. I’m leaving this post.   My first goodreads review is posted below. She wasn’t exactly kind. I debated as to whether to respond. Goodreads recommends against it. Still, it…

June 9 – Where Do I Go From Here?

Posted on June 9, 2022 by Andy

I actually started a similar post a few days ago. That one may never see the light of day. A great deal of my writing ends up in my own personal Twilight Zone. Once I get it out, I have no need to share it. None of that is intentional. It just is. So here…

Articles on Substack

Posted on June 7, 2022 by Andy

On Saturday, June 4, I posted my first article on Substack. Oh the mental gymnastics I put myself through! Okay, yeah, so much drama, but really it caused me a bit of consternation. I’ve been mulling over this idea for a few days or so now. At first I’d thought to deploy Substack to promote…

Spreading My Wings

Posted on May 29, 2022May 24, 2022 by Andy

During the past couple of weeks, I’ve been checking out various outlets for my works. Some of  you already know about my woes with hubpages. While that post says “finale”, I’m still sparring with at least one member of the hp “team”. At this point it’s just the principle of the thing. They keep wanting…

Hubpages Finale

Posted on May 6, 2022May 6, 2022 by Andy

So at least I can say the “Hub Pages Team” responded in a timely manner. Good on them. Here is what they had to say…   Hello, While we do not allow for self-promotion, you can add a link to your personal blog in your bio which readers can then click on. You can find…

Hubpages Woes

Posted on May 4, 2022 by Andy

Don’t ask what I really wanted to title this post. And yes I am steaming. After posting my sixth exclusive article on hubpages I get this email:   A link to your Hub: What I Learned Selling Final Expense Insurance Dear AndrewHavens, We wanted to let you know that What I Learned Selling Final Expense…

WOW! I Thought I Posted This…

Posted on May 2, 2022May 2, 2022 by Andy

This may be a big yawn to you but I’m happy. I just checked on goodreads and found I had another four-star rating. This makes 2/2 and they are both FOUR stars! That is four out of five. To me, this is far better than a 5/5 rating. Why? Because it tells me whoever posted…

Now in Paperback!

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Andy

So yesterday I bit the bullet and wrote a fresh description for the back cover of “Dirty Little Secrets” for Consumers. That was all I needed to complete the process for the paperback POD (print on demand) version of the book. I felt the rewrite was necessary because the original was simply too long for…

My Print Version Description

Posted on April 19, 2022April 19, 2022 by Andy

Call it procrastinating if you will, but I am just now getting around to writing a description for the print version of “Dirty Little Secrets” for Consumers. In my own defense, this is the first day of my release from my wife’s business. Yes, I volunteered and yes, I  have had days off previously but…
