Givin' Up The Ghost, Playlist, Promotion



(My pick to play my MC would be Jennifer Lawrence)

I'm finally treating my MANUSCRIPT like a REAL book!
Here are some of the things I completed last week:

• After two years, I finally named my MS: Givin' Up The Ghost
• I added a description of Givin' Up The Ghost, which you'll find under the Writing tab above.
• I created a Playlist for Givin' Up The Ghost, see Playlist tab above.
• Researched actors who could play my characters in the movie (gotta be prepared, lol!).
• Created a rough draft of my book pitch for the writer's conference in April.
• Researched business cards for the writer's conference in April.
• Researched website information should I decide to use my domain name, gwengardner.com.

Can you tell I'm getting ready for the PPWC in April? There is so much to do - first and foremost to finish editing my book! And I'm having so much fun with it! Last week I decided to pair a scene from my MS and music/video from YouTube. And then when I was visiting Michelle Picketts blog, I discovered that she had created whole playlists for her books Concilium and Concilium: The Departure. I was so inspired that I just had to create a playlist for my own book, Givin' Up The Ghost. Check out my new Playlist and Writing tabs above. Michelle, who won second place in my Judge and Jury Blogfest, is an awesome writer. If you are a member of GoodReads, you'll want to add her books to your TBR list.

What are you doing to have fun with your writing? What are you doing to get an agent/publisher? What are you doing to promote your book?

As always, I welcome any advice you have on: conferences, pitching, business cards, website, description, playlist recommendations, etc.
