So
I’m used to coming up with strategies to sell a product or service.
And the best strategy I tried was using the
Abraham-Hicks tools to steady and focus my consciousness. The Abraham-Hicks material has some roots in
common with the well-known book The
Secret with an important difference—the Hick’s books have tools to walk you
through to where you choose to go.
Here is one tool of many:
The Focus Wheel
Process: p. 192 The Vortex by Esther and Jerry Hicks, Hay House, Inc, 2009
Whenever I have an uncomfortable feeling, usually to do
with fear and doubt about my writing, I stop and identify what it is—write it
down. No
matter how small.
Through a series of first thoughts, I go around the 12 points of a clock face in my mind or on a sheet of paper. At each point I reach for the best feeling thought I can find--no matter how small.

Something like this :
1. I really like my
characters!
2. The story is timely because it deals with
people reinventing their lives because of economic stress.
3. My target market could focus on
resiliency. There are people in my
contact list who may interested in this type of story.
I continue
around the imaginary clock face and when complete, I write a new sentence, in the
middle, that summarizes my discovery.
I could write about the above issue:
People
do like stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Research similar fiction and the agents that
bought them. Send these agents an email
query focused on Resiliency.
And as an author and a businessperson remind
yourself that novels/fiction are part of the entertainment business—huge—and
there is always a demand for more
material which allows people to escape, be inspired or challenged to expand.
I've been so busy on facebook/etc. I have sorely neglected my fiction and poetry. Thanks for the boost
