If you could wave a magic wand, writer, what would happen next?

My Crippled Beagle Bell has a big, magic stick that will wave your publishing problems away!

I wonder what she's thinking in this picture?

​

I have a big question and appreciate any feedback you can share because it helps me help YOU!

First, think about where you are in the four phases of publishing:

1. Writing
2. Polishing (editing and formatting)
3. Publishing
4. Selling (marketing)

Now answer this question: If I could wave a magic wand and make the most difficult aspect of [writing/editing/publishing/marketing] easier, what difficult aspect would that be?

If you are in multiple phases, answer for any/all of them:)

Examples:

If someone asked me, "Jody, if I could wave a magic wand and resolve the most difficult aspect of raising children, what aspect would that be?" My answer would be, "Have the video game Fortnite subliminally teach my child to be a math and reading genius and run from drugs and alcohol. Forever."

If someone asked me, "Jody, if I could wave a magic wand and resolve the most difficult aspect of writing a book, what aspect would that be?" My answer would be, "Find me 8 hours a week during which I can focus on research." Hmmm. There are ways to solve this problem.

Answer me by emailing jody@crippledbeaglepublishing.com, and I'll send you a free resource to help you on your author journey.

XOXOXO

Jody
