Where I’ve Been

· 2 Comments ·

Hello everyone. First let me apologize for my absence. For the past few months I have been dealing with some health issues, and I have only just begun to feel better during the past two weeks. While I have wanted to write and post more often, I have not had the strength or desire to. Now that I’m finally feeling better, I’m ready to begin posting again. I’m working on content which will be available in August. Thank you for hanging in there with me!

KDP Reports Update

· 1 Comment ·

Hello fellow writers and creatives. As most of you probably know, I use Amazon’s KDP to publish all of my books. They recently added an update to their reports, and honestly I believe it’s long overdue. Right now, it’s in the “beta” phase: it’s still being tested. If you use KDP, I recommend taking a look at it and taking the survey. Give KDP as much feedback as possible, because the current version of the report is kinda painful. For example, if you’re like me and you’ve published a number of titles, whenever one of them is purchased, you have to go through a list of your titles in order to find out which title was purchased. The new version of the sales report shows which title was sold right away. This is a VAST improvement.

How do you find the beta version of the report?

When you log into you KDP account, at the very top, is a menu with the options, “Bookshelf, Reports, Community, Marketing”. When you click on “Reports”, you will see a line that reads “Try the new KDP Reports beta”. Click on that, and you will be redirected to the beta page.

One of the options in the beta report is the Royalties Estimator, which provides a list of your royalties you will receive for the titles you have recently sold. To me, the best part about this, is simply seeing which title was sold without searching through a list of titles ( I have 43 titles, so I’m very happy about this).

I’m still learning about this new report, but hopefully it will become the permanent version.

Until next time.

Often in fiction, whenever a writer decides to change the scene within a chapter, they usually do one of two things. One: leave some blank space between paragraphs. Two: use a symbol or some sort of artistic element. For years, I used a few lines of blank space. Lately, while writing my latest books, I […]
