When I got in my car today, I turned off my cell phone. I didn’t want to be distracted.
I read that using your cell phone while driving is like drinking and driving. I’m smarter than that.
Because I turned off my phone, I saved someone’s life. Now I don’t have to spend the rest of my life remembering the day I killed someone. Now I don’t have to cry myself to sleep thinking about the suffering I caused another family. A family that would miss their loved one every day. I don’t have wake up every morning and recall that my silly obsession with phone calls and text messages caused another human being to perish.

If you enjoy reading, and like to use the Internet for finding great new reads, you may well have heard of Goodreads before: This is a superb website hosting a vibrant community of book lovers, teeming with book recommendations and reviews. In other words, an ideal place to find new reads. We’ve briefly covered Goodreads in a Directory post back in 2010, and last year I reviewed the Goodreads Android app. We’ve also included the site in a roundup up 7+ Sites To Help You Decide Which Book To Read Next, but we’ve never taken a good long look at the Goodreads core – the site itself. Up until today, that is.
As writers, we often get questions on where our story ideas come from.
They come from a story in the news, something read, an observation from the world, or discussion with friends. Something out there tugs at the corner of the mind: What if? What would happen if? What if that was merged with, Why did that …?
Today, we’re going to explore where six of the Best Selling Reads authors got their ideas for a completed work or a work in progress.
In Jan 2012 I worked with a couple authors who were having a hard time selling their books, and I helped one of them hit Amazon’s Top-100 in the paid store, and the other came very close. Since that time, I have helped other authors evaluate the basic elements of their Amazon book page that are actually “UN-selling” their book.
Believe it or not, many new and not so new authors are scratching their heads, wondering why their book, as well written as it is, is not selling. They look at their monthly KDP reports, and their Amazon ranking and wonder what’s going on. If that is you, the problem could be that you are on the inside looking in, and are not seeing the big picture. The following is an example of such an author.
