The Return of Marketing Mondays

 If I want to bolster my ______ and progress _______, I have to stop making excuses for my behavior. How would you fill in the blanks? I read a motivational talk about spirituality, and I realized it could be applied to almost any situation.

I'm rededicating myself to marketing in the hopes that I can learn to love it, maybe begin to feel like it's a game, a puzzle to complete, or a nut to crack. My goal is to have at least 4 tweets/ads (Amazon & Bookbub) about each book that lead to either the book link or a blog post with a book excerpt.

Here's my newly created author's widget. I'd love to hear other's thoughts and opinions. Obviously, I'm not done. This is going to take me awhile...
