I needed this today, Bethany. I've been working on my first book for a little of a year now. I've been writing for over 15 years. I just always felt I wasn't good enough.

My mom encouraged me to just give it a try because she could see my passion for creating stories. She's currently in the hospital and we're homeless. While sitting with her I watched this. Your videos always help pick me up.

This one is perfect timing since I'd put my book on hold recently. I need to finish it. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.

These are wonderful tips! Wish I had heard this before publishing

Love this video.
The idea of not publishing first draft is one of the smartest.
I usually walk away from my finished work for a week or two, this shows me what needs to rectified.

Yip, that is why I am rewriting my main book to make it sound better - even though I started with the rewrite last year.
Even though, my book is in phase one of rewriting, since I had to improve scenes and also add new characters into the story.

This year, has been on and off with my main book as I decided to rewrite my kids first book, trying to figure out the story. So far, I have a few idea's to make sure that the kids book sounds awesome.

And, last month, I have been working on my first werewolf story to use on a reading site that is popular with this genera.

You and your dog is super cute! And with the lockdown (i live in south Africa, western cape, level four lockdown, I work as a waitress so it sucks).

All your books are on my TBR list (it is a super long list). Thanks for all your vlogs, since I have to catch up for the last week because we had bad weather here and NO WIFI. So I didn't work on any of my three projects, felt no motivation - except for reading books.

Thanks for the encouragement. I needed this. Great video too.

*_The Beth_** is back!* So great to have you release another encouraging video. 😊 Having friends in the process is such a value!

For me, it's a bit difficult to find anyone to discuss with, since I'm a screenwriter, and since I'm still in the planning phase. I'm doing this weird thing where I'm kind of outlining/drafting at once. Plus I make "general/unstructured planning notes" in separate documents. My ideas are all over the place! 😄

Welcome back! You've been very missed ^_^
Thanks for another great video and lots of Penny cuteness!

[AngelaHesterBooks]

Great topic! And I'm glad you posted. Was getting a bit worried. :)

Bethany! I’m struggling to create a paperback cover through Amazon. Do you have a tutorial on that? Your ebook tutorial was excellent and helped me to publish, but I’m having a hard time with paperback!

[jeanshelbybooks]

I’ve missed ya! Can’t wait to hear about the projects you’ve been working on.
That text was literally what I sent to my mom last night. 😆😆 This is everything I’ve been telling myself about self publishing, but it was super great to hear it from you. ☀️☀️

"I haven't done a video in so long" What? You mean you actually have a life? Good for you Bethany. Everyone needs a break. As for Penny, I have the adoption papers forthcoming. I'll be by next week to pick her up. Love the video. Cheers.

Did you pay Amazon for them to push your books to sell???
For personal experiences, I am asking you.
