The Three Biggest Surprises When Starting (or Attempting) a Daily Writing Habit
By: Monica Leonelle (This article was originally published on March 2, 2015 on the Sterling and Stone website.) Back in August of 2013, I had to face the facts. I had learned to write very fast (at speeds over 3000 words an hour, under the right conditions), but I still wasnt drafting and publishing much […]
Six (Plus) Bonus Reports on Launching a Fiction Series!
I’m doing something special for the POF audience for the beginning of 2017—bonus reports on the results of my first major fiction launch! (I’ve launched before, but never so hard as I’m about to.) The goal of these reports is so you can see a behind-the-scenes of what I did + how well it worked […]
All the Things I’m Doing (And Not Doing) To Promote My Kindle Countdown Deal(s) (Behind-the-Scenes Launch #5)
Three of the five Prose on Fire books are on sale this week for $0.99. I messed up and somehow didn’t save the scheduled promotion for Nail Your Story.

Raising Author Rank With Waters Dark and Deep + Prose on Fire Release Date Scheduling (Behind-the-Scenes Launch #2)
I’m certainly not all-in on Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program, but for my Young Adult Urban Fantasy series, Waters Dark and Deep, I’ve decided to go Select and keep it there for awhile. Why? A few reasons: The genre is suited for it The books themselves are shorter (between 50,000 and 75,000 words) There are 25 books […]
Should You Use Your Current Audience To Launch an Unrelated Series? (Survey Says Yes.) (Behind-the-Scenes Launch #1)
One of my greatest fears at the moment is (finally!) doing a proper launch on my young adult urban fantasy series, Waters Dark and Deep. This is a fiction series that I’ve been writing since 2009, that I’ve published (and later unpublished) two times now. In so many ways, the series has been so near and […]
