Hi, this is K.M. Wyland, and you are listening to the 321 episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors Podcast. What a week! The craziness of Storming's launch is now behind me, which is a little bittersweet since it's always a fun time,

and because it always leaves a strange momentary lost kind of a feeling after something you've put so much time and work into is suddenly done.

But it was an amazing week and I have so much thanks for all of you for reaching out

and embracing this book and making it your own. You were the ones who helped

it climb all the way to a number two ranking in the Steam Punk Kindle store.

So thank you for participating so enthusiastically in the contests and for the incredibly kind and

excited reviews some of you have already been turning in for storming itself.

The launch may be over but just as a heads up the deals do continue for a few days and more through tomorrow, Tuesday, December 15th.

Storming is doing a promo run on Kindle at a special discounted price of $1.99.

So if your copy hasn't found its way to your Kindle yet,

be sure to jump on this while it's still up.

The latest post on my blog is Top Christmas Gifts for Writers in 2015. Not sure

what to buy the writers on your list, not sure what to ask for yourself. Here's my yearly guide to the top Christmas gifts for writers.

And now I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast entitled Not Feeling Creative,

Four ways to reignite the wonder in your writing.

Writers are supposed to be magical beings who live somewhere in the glorious wilderness

between insightful reality and abandoned creativity.

Sometimes that's exactly what the writing life feels like,

heady with inspiration,

swirling with visions of people and places beyond the prosaic world in which we actually live.

Everything has meaning in wonder.
