Nikky Lee's latest activity

Sounds good Nikki. I've been distracted for the last month - haying and horse husbandry and stuff like that there. I'd like something to get me focused back on the book I need to rewrite.

Nikky! Just what i need right now, to write now. I need to do a full third rewrite, and have been putting it off because, you know, lotta stuff on YouTube that needs time wasted on it. I looked last night and thought, i am gonna set a deadline...

What is the new Author Platform? Happy to help, but would like to know more.

Thanks, Nikky. Your experience is gold!

In my experience, it is significantly harder to get traction with a blog these days (speaking as someone who wrote blogs for businesses for several years). It's a trade off of whether you want to build your audience over time (a LOT of time) or...

Thank you. That puts a new light on things and why I didnt find it very useful. I never even got a reply back from a query w duotrope.

I used it for a bit when I was writing a lot of short stories a few years ago. I found it quite good for tracking and researching markets/magazines. I'm not writing a lot of short stories these days, but I do curate a list of submission calls for...

Well done Nikky Lee, good luck in the competitions.
