I'm not naming names



As I dig deeper into the online world experience being an indie author I realized the truly bizarre is going on. But I'm not naming names because if I do apparently those companies are going to swoop in, read it, judge it and decide my fate. If they don't like what I've posted even if it's the mildest of rants, there will be a negative affect. I will be punished.

When I first heard this I didn't believe that any company had people behind a desk somewhere looking at everything online that mentions their name. Weren't they just busy doing whatever that business does that got them to success? Their product got them there, not anything else.

In every relationship including business relationships there are the ups and down  Nothing doesn't have that experience in some way or another when it's a relationship extended over time. But if we don't get to vent, we don't get to complain, we don't get to speak out, without being punished by these companies that is just bizarre.

But it's true and so incredibly true that I even went as far as communicating with one company through an unconnected forum. They responded by reacting to my posts by making a change within their own platform that I referred to in my post. I thanked them for the fix in the forum and it's been smooth sailing ever since. However, recently and last week, I commented on something unfair that a company is doing and it's not even debatable.

Okay I am in the game, so I must comply because my novels deserve their best shot into the universe of readers. So I'm not naming names here,  I'm just venting about the bizarre reality in the online indie world that I live in.

The Organic Writing Path Where Numbers Mean Something Different

Today I had a brief conversation with a writer friend and told him about my results on Iolon Star during its free download period. He tipped his head and I knew what it meant, he was thinking "that's not viral!".

He has been writing, and he is a good writer but hasn't published anything yet and we don't exist within the same generations. So I let him know, based on what I do, an organic free book campaign on my new release that consists of purely social media platforms and forums and only a heartbeat of notice, not 15 week planning with a giant budget, my results are above the average.

I am happy with that and he was confused by my happiness.

When you go organically where big money doesn't exist the little guy story begins. But that little guy story is different than most of us want to accept but I accept the challenge because I must.

I have seen plenty of come and goes, bloggers, writers and the challenge is extreme but the choice for me isn't a choice. I write because I have always have and heck I am on a writing hiatus/vacation and still writing and launching my latest novel.

Cheers Everyone! Thanks for your support! Read on! Write On! Forever Indie, W.L. Wright

The FREE period for Iolon Star is still going on today Friday April 12 until midnight so take a free getaway to a different galaxy.  IOLON STAR FREE DOWNLOAD

An Indie Author 3 months later


Well everyone it's been a whole three months since I launched my new career as an indie author. I just released my fourth novel Iolon Star this week and currently on a needed novel writing hiatus. I am about to move across the country and I'd rather not start another novel until after I move and the ruckus is over.

Limerick Alley...my new podcast devoted to the Limericks you all have liked enough for me to jump in.

 My latest endeavor that I'm having a blast at and it's going swimmingly well is the creation of the podcast Limerick Alley. For lon...
