SOLIDARITY
The Skipping Childhood Ramblings blog was created specifically
as a platform to discuss various elements of my new urban suspense novel. In order to help me follow through with
providing consistent posts, I told myself two things before I started out. The first thing I did was accept the fact
that I’m lousy when it comes to trying to operate a “daily” blog so I told
myself this will not be a daily blog. I
even mentioned in an earlier post how this has actually helped me to write
more, not less. You can read about this
by clicking the: “ACCEPTANCE”
category link in the column.
The other thing I decided to do
in order to focus more on the content and continuity of my blogging was to stop
worrying about links. Of course, my
objective is to provide links to the novel’s “Amazon product page” at every
opportunity that I can, but I hadn’t planned on linking other products. Initially, the various books that you see on
this blog did not contain links, merely the images and titles.
Support
and Solidarity
In the past, I’ve found that
concentrating too much on trying to monetize your blog can interfere with
actually providing content. I don’t want
that to be the case with this blog, so my thoughts were to omit links. But then I thought about the whole ideal of
providing support and offering solidarity for authors who dare to write about
these difficult subjects. Whether you
are a fiction writer or a non-fiction writer; it is hard addressing difficult topics about children, especially like:
child abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, things no one wants to talk about. I believe that to the extent we can help our fellow authors, we should; especially when their content, and products are so relevant to what we write ourselves.

So I started an Amazon Affiliate
account, specifically to help get other authors promoted, book purchases, and possibly
some reviews. If you would like to help
support other authors who are finding creative ways to heal and close old
wounds, be sure to take advantage of the book links you find on this page. Solidarity is important so show it whenever
and where ever you can.
DON'T MISS THIS:
Have you got a chance to check out the new book trailer for "Skipping Childhood: A Novel" yet?
You can click the link in this paragraph and view it on YouTube or
simply click the main "BOOK TRAILER" link at the top of the page. That
way you can watch it right here on the blog, then continue reading when
you're done. ENJOY!
