Don’t Judge a Book by Its Page Count

I had some book mail arrive this week, and it gave me this lovely visual to illustrate how the page count and thickness of a book doesn’t always indicate how long the actual story is when compared to the book next to it. I get into the details in this video. I also share how I’m guilty of judging a book by its page count.

Enjoy!

I mention my fledgling Etsy store in this video. You can find that at this link: https://leeniebbooks.etsy.com/

It still only has one book in it. I’d love to know if there are any books that you think I should put at the top of my “add to Etsy store” list.

And as always, you can find all my books and current book promotions on my website, https://leeniebrown.com


Where am I?

An impromptu #writinglife update from one of my favourite places

What’s a girl to do when she’s enjoying a lovely interlude in the park?

Why, film a writing life update so she can share a little bit of her life with you. 🙂 I did not have a mic with me, and since it was windy and the highway is not far away (and it was coming up on rush hour), there is some background noise to contend with. (Not to mention I’m looking a little windblown. Haha!)

Oh! And I did get the date wrong for the multi-author promotion. It’s next Friday, June 28th, and I discovered this morning that we’re almost at 60 participants. There’ll be lots to choose from!

I hope you enjoy this little peek at one of my favourite places!

What is the most important element of good writing to me?

How would you answer this question?

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.

Enjoy!

What does “writer’s block” mean to me?

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. 🙂 )

I hope you’re week is going well.

Enjoy!

(The video is about 8 1/2 minutes long.)
