#authors , particularly #indieauthors : if you, like me, have been rejected for bookbub featured deals over and over again, what avenues have you found of getting the word out about your 99cent and free download deals that have given you great return? (other than newsletter and social media)

14yo was venting about mean kids are school.
I suggested keeping a list of names - all the people who treat him badly. Whenever he's writing a story and needs a name for a villain, he's got a list of great options.
Passing along important lessons over here.

Something that's always confused me is the scene in Gilmore Girls where characters are naming their guilty pleasure bands and Lane says "she's ashamed to say" hers is Fleetwood Mac.

I tell my students all the time "even if everyone around you is doing the wrong thing, your responsibility is to make sure you do the right thing."
Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

I wrote new words today. Nothing major. Just some notes for a new idea that's been tap-tap-tapping at the door for a while now. But they were MY words - NEW words - so desperate to escape they kept me awake & forced me out of bed.
It's been roughly 2 year since I've been able to create in this way.
