http://gritlands.blogspot.com/2016/08/my-book-blog-tour-2-tips-for-writing.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2016. My Book Blog Tour #2: Tips for Writing a Page-Turner. I'm crying, your book is so great.". It was one day since I'd sent my manuscript out to a round of beta-readers. I was nervous. Then I started getting real-time updates from people as they read my book. I have SO much to do this weekend, but I can't stop reading your book! And I realized, I had written a page-turner. A 120,000-word, historical, literary fiction. Talk about an oxymoron. Posted by audrey mei. Here I share my ...

Gritlands Blog: July 2016
http://gritlands.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2016. Maximizing a book trailer's potential. Book trailers are an awkward genre. Somewhere between movie trailer and short film, animation and PowerPoint presentation, spoken word performance and late-night informercial. And very, very often, just plain bad. Sorry. And who watches book trailers anyway? Well, judging from my research checking Youtube View stats for hundreds of trailers. . Posted by audrey mei. Monday, July 18, 2016.

Sunday, August 7, 2016. Warm and fuzzy book launch success! And when you don't know what you're going to read. Me Nervous as all heck. Before you proceed, turn on this video from Youtube to have a soundtrack in the background while you read this post:. And imagine the scent of sandalwood incense and bitter Chinese baijiu. And the sounds of people chatting, sharing ideas, laughing, getting caught up with long-lost contacts. And I was already grabbing her arm whispering to her, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO READ Y...

Gritlands Blog: The week before launch!
http://gritlands.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-week-before-launch.html
Friday, August 5, 2016. The week before launch! I'm a fun person. Really. Ok, I admit I'm not so much fun since I got married and pooted out a baby who just turned 2 years old in July. But really. I used to be the Fun Meister that everyone wanted to know. I sharpened my teeth during my years living in Berlin in 2006-2010. It was harsh. It was a survival marathon. I have an entire bank of stories yet to tell from that era. So it's been a while since I threw a P-A-R-T-Y, but girl's gotta still have it!

Gritlands Blog: June 2016
http://gritlands.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 25, 2016. Between hard work and surrender. Sketch of Tita Pasang flying from the book trailer to. Trixi Pudong and the Greater World. I have a personal philosophy about work. I believe in grit. Defined in Websters as firmness of mind and spirit: unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger. When youre an artist, the hardship or danger is the lack of motivation or inspiration. Or the loss of your will to go on in the face of harsh criticism. Posted by audrey mei. Posted by audrey mei.
