Your DAILY MESSAGE from Angels
LEARNING to MAKE THE DECISION is HALF the FUN!
We love you
Okay, Angels!!!
So, this dove, she sat
Upon a thin wire, so high
Gazing at the sky
So, this dove she thought
I wonder if I should fly
Off into the sky

So, this dove did sigh
As she felt called to move on
Into the beyond
So, this dove she knew
She could choose to sit all day
Watching life go by
So, this dove did leave
Prompted by a wayward breeze
Spread your wings and BE!

Go for a walk with a friend
Binge watch some great films
Maybe take a nap
Make popcorn, think about it
Don’t be too hasty

A great article, sharing food for thought!

Androgynous names might do you favours if your readership is gender sensitive. A new surname might put you at a more visible part of the bookshelves or next to giants of your genre (George RR Martin again).
Even a change of nationality might send interesting signals to the reader. Earlier this year I was at an event with Sophie Schmidt, head of author relations and marketing at Epubli, and she told me…
