Today, I’m going to share what is at the top of my list of important elements of good writing as I continue to to answer some of the questions on that list of interview questions that I mentioned in the last video.
In this What’s Up Wednesday video, I’ve started on my list of random interview questions for authors that I found on the internet. I’ve also included a few news-y items at the start, but then I do answer the question in the title of this post.
You might notice that my voice sounds a little different in this video. That’s because I’ve got a bit of a scratchy throat and a cough thing I’ve been trying to fight off and not get. When I woke up this morning, I was very glad I recorded this yesterday, because today, I think whatever this is has finally caught me fully and my voice is quite low, right along with my energy. Because of the lack of energy, I’ve also spent the morning in bed, sleeping mostly, which is why this is getting uploaded and sent out later than intended. (And then, I might go back to bed. 🙂 )
In this What’s Up Wednesday post, I’ve got exciting news for Patreon and Ream subscribers and a question that I could use some help answering: What should I talk about on weeks when the writing news is slim?
For a couple of months, I’ve been sharing occasional video updates about my writing life on Substack, which I use as my newsletter provider, and YouTube.
Today, I’m going to start sharing those video here as well as on my blog and Ream Stories so that readers have lots of choices to find and follow me and learn about my books. Here’s today’s post that goes with the video above.

Good Morning!
Today’s schedule at my house got tossed out the window this today before I was even fully awake. The good news is that the plumber is here to fix the kitchen sink’s drain pipe. The bad news is that this is when I had scheduled to do my What’s Up Wednesday video. So, that’s not happening. 🙂 Instead, let me share with you a behind the scenes video that I made yesterday as I was working on getting a book for my other pen name (Annilee Nelson) ready for release day.
This video shows you how I get Books2Read links, pages, and tabs ready to go. I hope you enjoy the peek into one small part of my writing life. It’s the same process for Leenie books – and I even show you my B2R author page for Leenie in the video too. (BTW, all the links on my book page here on my website currently take you to a B2R book tab.)
The video is just about 12.5 minutes long.
Enjoy!
P.S. Are there other behind the scenes things you’d be interested in learning about? Let me know in the comment section.
