Author and Writer Friends, as well as friends who have always dreamed of writing, do you need another how-to book?

I think not.

I started my writing journey with joy and excitement. And I have to say, my book loving life has blessed me. But, all it takes is for someone to stop me at the grocery store and ask me how my books are doing, and my little seed of doubt sprouts another leaf. How AM I doing?

My friend Pauline Wiles has created the book that I need in my creative life right now. I will let her tell you about Indie at Ease and then I’ll share some more about what I’ve learned from her calming and informative pages.

And there’s an EASY EBOOK GIVEAWAY, too! Keep READING!

Jena’s Thoughts

Pauline emailed me and told me about Indie with Ease and she asked if I wanted a copy. YES! As soon as it zoomed into my kindle, I began to read it. And I’ve been highlighting so many nuggets and gems. I haven’t finished the book, so, this isn’t a full review, but here are some of the treasures I’ve found.

“In my six years in the publishing business, I’ve learned to set realistic expectations, focus doggedly on only the important tasks, and take care of my energy, creativity, and morale.”

Why are you publishing? Do you want to entertain, enlighten, educate, enable or empower your readers?”

“The Swedish Concept of Lagom- Pauline encourages us think about what ‘not to little, but not too much’ means to us in deciding our writing goals. Lagom represents moderation and balance, not excess or extreme.”

You will learn about “repeater” and “completer” tasks. (This was a Wow! idea for me.) “Get realistic about the spectrum of could-dos which float around in your mind.”

Pauline tells us the benefits of meditation, or as she describes it- “paying attention.” 💯

Pauline has a calm and encouraging style and gently shares what she has learned in a positive way. And she wants to connect.”Please get in touch, I would be delighted to hear from you by email with questions or reactions you’s like to share.”

More about Pauline Wiles: British by birth, Pauline is now a contented resident of California, although she admits to occasional yearnings for afternoon tea and historic homes.

Her debut novel, Saving Saffron Sweeting, reached the quarter final of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award and was a number one Kindle Best Seller. The stand-alone prequel, Secrets in the Sky, was reviewed by Publishers Weekly as ‘an enticing read’. Sweet Pursuits is the third book in the series.

Pauline has also released a free book of short stories, along with Indie With Ease, aimed at helping other self-published authors reduce stress and boost productivity.

When not writing, Pauline can be found getting the steps wrong in a Zumba class or calculating how many miles she has to run to justify an extra piece of cake. She is also fond of daydreaming about flying herself and a reader to London for tea
