Sad Day in Pro Football

I've been a football fan since I was about 6 or 7. My grandfather got me involved in watching pro football and I joke that its his "fault" that I'm a huge Washington Redskins fan. There are days when I wonder about being a loyal fan, but today isn't one of those days.

For anyone who hasn't heard or isn't a fan, a wonderful safety (that's a position in football :) named Sean Taylor was shot Monday morning in his home by an intruder and he was in a coma overnight and he died early this morning. Any time a person in their early 20's dies it is a tragedy. It seems even more tragic for someone who held so much promise in their professional life.

He had some problems in the last years, but people are unanimous that he had turned his life around in the last couple of years after his daughter was born. He did a lot of things to help the local community and was a leader in the team.

As a long time Redskins I had to chime in about this loss to football. I also thought it was great to see the way the NFL is pulling together to show their support. This weekend, there is a moment of silence planned at all pro games. The rivalries, which can be intense, will be forgotten (for a few moments) in the wake of the tragedy.

In addition, I've heard that all pro football players will have a "21", his number, on their helmets and all Redskins players will have a patch on their uniforms with a "21" in remembrance of him. The owner of the Redskins, Daniel Snyder, is said to be flying all players and all workers from FedEx field to the funeral next week.

Just the thoughts of a long time pro football fan. I know that my thoughts are with his family, his young daughter, his team mates and the fans who respected the man and his ability and the contributions he made in his short time with us.

NaNo - Day Twenty

I am thrilled to say that I officially have 53,468 words on my new book. For anyone that isn't familiar with NaNo - that means that I've reached the goal for the month. There is still at least 30-40,000 words left in the book - but I've got a big chunk of it on paper. I did break one of my cardinal rules and I jumped around a lot while I was working on this draft, so I need to print out the 212 pages that I have and figure out what's missing and then add that info :)

But, that's six years straight as a NaNo winner -----

Now, I can switch over and work on the galleys for Book Promo 101 and then get back to writing Book Promo 201 :) Whew -- it gets a little confusing around here :)

NaNo - Day Eighteen

Today went pretty good and the eBay seciton is coming together. Still not sure if I think eBay is a good idea, but the research continues :) My word count hit 44,006 and the finish line is within site. I'll finish the eBay info and that should put me close to 50K. Then I can take a couple of days "off" to proof the print galleys for Book Promo 101. The layout looks GREAT and I can't wait to get comments from others about it.

By the way, I got a new review for Book Promo 101 today from Coffee Times. Its a 4 cup review ----

To have your book sell, one cannot sit it on the shelf and stop there. There are many promotional tactics that one can use to get their name and book out to the public. The basic guidelines for promotion will help aid the author and guide them to the right place to get their book on the market.

With the flip of each page, the reader learns when to start promoting, along with the creation of blogging, brainstorming with others, and a mountain of valuable outlets that have exercises and plans to go by. There is even a checklist to evaluate and compare publicists. Ms. Leigh does a thorough search to get many enlightening data across to the author, discussing the e-book and print on demand books, along with review sites.

Inside the pages, you will learn how to overcome fear of rejection while incorporating steps about marketing and keeping an open mind about all promotion. Most of all, one should try some simple things instead of overstretching possibilities with so many promotional tactics that can spread a person thin. The first book is only the beginning of many increased opportunities for the author.

I believe Learning the Basics of Book Promotion is a great asset to anyone. There are many chapters loaded with information facts that even had me surprised with ideals that I was not aware. Very informative, educational, and comes highly recommended from this reviewer. Nikki Leigh has worked in promotion and marketing for over fifteen years and, as an author, has learned many outlets in promotion to pass on to others. This basic book of promotion is the first in a series and is greatly beneficial.

NaNo - Day Seventeen

The month is passing and I missed a few days of NaNo. On Wednesday the weather was beautiful and it seemed like a great day to run errands. However, I spent too much time outside evidently. On Thursday morning I woke about 5 am with the worst migraine I'm had in over a year. Our weather changed radically overnight along with rain - that will set my sinuses off every time. The day was very unproductive - to say the least :) Friday I buckled down and got 10 articles done for a client so that I could get back to NaNo today. The result????

I reached 42,000. I enter my word counts each time I finish another section and 42,000 seemed like a great place to stop for tonight :) Hopefully I will reach 45,000 tomorrow - that could depend on how bad the Redskin - Cowboys game goes :) I'm off to update the books that are featured on my promotional blogs. If you would like to know more about the blogs, take a look at the info in the left margin of this blog - there are a bunch of promotional opportunities for authors :)

Nano Update

I lost a post or two, so I'll catch everyone up. NaNo is going great. My word count is just over 36,000. I took off today and ran errands and hung out with family for a little while. This seemed like a good errand day since this is the last day the temperature will be in the 60's and 70's. A storm and a cold front are on the way, so I'm hoping tomorrow will be a good writing day. This weekend I need to research and write 10 articles for a client and I got the print galleys for Book Promo 101 last night --- so I need to find time to work on all that stuff :) Thank goodness I'm ahead on NaNo :)

Advance Info for My Blog Readers

I switched gears for a little while today and I worked on some book promotion. The biggest gift giving season is almost here - so I'm holding a big book sale. All of my Nikki Leigh novels are on sale. I'm offering special discounts on my books - if you buy multiple books, the price is lower and special prices on shipping. In addition, I'm offering to wrap the book(s) and mail them directly to your friends and family. For all the details, visit - http://www.nikkileigh.com/gift_2007.htm

If you have friends of family that like suspense, mystery, lighthouses, strong women, historic, contemporary, evil villains, and much more - I have a book they would like. We should talk :)

Any questions, let me know and I'd love to hear comments about this. The idea just hit me last night and I worked on the sale page, creating and distributing a press release about my sale a good part of the day. I was going to attend a local craft show, but the fee is over $80 and I figured that I would rather save the $80 have a sale. Why not pass along the savings :)

NaNo - Day Nine & Ten

How is everyone's weekend? Yesterday I had to work on freelance articles for a client, but I got back to the book today. 5800 words today and I'm just over 27,100 total. That's over halfway for NaNo :) Its no where close to half of the book - but its a nice start.

I learned a few years ago that its nice to set goals along the way to 50,000 and to buy a simple treat that I can have when I reach those goals. This year, I chose cherry limeade. Nothing fancy, but its cold and refreshing. So, I bought 3 half gallons - one to drink when I started NaNo, one to have when I get to the middle and one to drink when I hit 50,000. Tomorrow, I can open the 2nd half gallon. Its also really good mixed with passion fruit mixer and any of my flavored vodka or rum :)

I'm taking the rest of the evening off and putting my feet up. Might even read a few pages of someone else's book :) And, tomorrow is pro football day :)

Nikki Leigh

NaNo - Day Seven and Eight

I'm so behind with my posts. Day Eight, I got about 3200 words on paper and today, I got about 2500. That puts me over 21,000 total. Not bad :) Problem is that I need to research and write 10 articles this weekend, so I'll research them tonight and tomorrow and then write them on Saturday. In between, I'll work on Book Promo 201.

Oh, I got some neat news --- Book Promo 101 was posted on Fictionwise on Monday and today it was #7 on the reference section. Sounds good :)

NaNo - Day Six

I worked for a client today and got another repair on my laptop today. My brother, dad and I also went to dinner -- so all around, no writing, but I got other important stuff done. But, tomorrow I'm back to work on Amazon info. I think that I also got a few contributions lined up for the book :)

Nikki Leigh

NaNo - Day Five

The day went pretty well and the Amazon section of the book is shaping up :) Tomorrow I have another appointment to have some work done to my laptop and my monthly billing client needs bills sent, so Tuesday will have a few distractions. But, I topped 15,000 today - so its going well.

By the way, I also got word this morning that my Non Commercial Food Service book won a USA Best Book 2007 for the Business Reference category :) Always nice to hear about a contest win on a Monday morning :)

Nikki Leigh
www.nikkileigh.com/book.htm

NaNo - Day Four

Today wasn't too bad. I slept late to get a little break and of course I had to watch a bit of football :)

I've done quite a bit of research the last couple of days and I'm reworking the info I found. But, I got about 2000 words on paper today and have a total of 13,127 for the month so far. At one point I thought I had lost 500 words, but I found the problem. I saved one version of a chapter and printed out another version of the chapter. So, I got the info untangled and I found the words :)

Tomorrow is Monday and we'll see how it goes :)

Nikki Leigh
www.nikkileigh.com

NaNo - Day Three

Today went pretty well. I finished the ten articles for my client and got a couple of things done around the house. By this evening I had 11,032 total words on paper and I got some great Amazon research done today. I was searching for some details I needed and once I stumbled on the info, I had to keep researching :) So, about 3,000 words of Amazon stuff is pieced together and I'll get to that soon.

Tomorrow I plan to get back to social networking. There are a few different ways I want to go with that information and a small bit of it is together, but plenty of info to add :) Its coming along very nice and I've already gotten a few contributions from authors that will be added to the book. How great is that :)

More tomorrow.....

Nikki Leigh
www.nikkileigh.com

NaNo - Day Two

Well today wasn't as productive as yesterday, but I got my laptop fixed (YEAH :) and that means I could get the Readers Station newsletter posted online (http://www.readersstation.com/nov_2007.htm) and I got about 1000 words on paper too. In addition, I figured out a couple of things about where certain content should go and that is always helpful :) I forgot, I also finished writing 10 articles for a client and I'll proofread them tomorrow and then back to Book Promo 201 :)

Nikki Leigh
www.nikkileigh.com/book_promo_101.htm

NaNo Day One

What an incredibly productive day. I totally expect to get some cyber smacks over this, but I'm so thrilled with my work today that I just don't think I care :)

I got started a little late this morning, but I worked much of the day. Although I actually took an hour for lunch and took another break for about 2 hours this evening. But, when all the work for the day is tabulated -- I have 7125 words for day one. YEAHHHHH ! ! ! Sorry, just a little excited about that. My hands and fingers are hurting, but otherwise the day went good. Its also good that I made good headway today because the Dell technician is supposed to come to town to fix my laptop tomorrow -- YEAHHH ! ! ! I miss the flexibility of having my laptop working :)

I'm going to take a hot bath and soak my hands to prepare for tomorrow. Book Promo 201 is off to a great start and its sounding good so far :)
