I am Ecstatic!

Hello My Friends,

I woke up drained, ever have a morning like that? I dragged myself out of bed and half asleep I did my morning routine wishing I could go back to bed. When I went to make my most favored beverage, yep you guessed it – Coffee! I was pleasantly surprised to find a package waiting for me one day earlier than I expected!

I’m ecstatic I got the rest of my (self created) Author and A Novel Life stuff after months of waiting. The box includes: Stationary, Business cards, Thank you notes and so much more. Woot! Those you will only see in person or via the mail. As for pictures of what I do want to show off you can look to my Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram accounts…

Here is the set for: A Novel Life

I will be selling The 12oz cup, the notebook, the bag, and the flash-drive separately or as a set. You can purchase them in person, by order and at events. There is so much more I may offer in the future like more coffee cups, jewelry, and clothing. If you’re interested in any of the stuff let me know.

Again I’m so excited, I feel like things are finally coming together nicely! What a nice surprise to wake up to! Yes I’m still working on the books but I feel starting a line of products will help me add to packages and giveaways in the future. I’m thrilled! I can’t wait to show this stuff off in person! Where should my next event be? Preferably somewhere indoors in this heat… 😛 Right!!!

Ps. Face Book page is at 72 likes, Woot! Anyone within the first 200 likes will get a free book or a free gift of one of my new products. I’m so sorry I update my FB page before my blog recently, It has just been quicker but I will soon be changing that. The blog posts have more details and T.L.C. Please share and Thank YOU!!!!

Love ya,

To Scrivener or Not to Scrivener?

Jul 2

Posted by Amy Jane Sandberg

Hello Dear friends,

I ask you a question…. To Scrivener or Not to Scrivener?

It’s a writing program I had a long time ago but it has changed since then. I think it could be a great asset, better than most out there… Hmm. I just downloaded this file for the trial, thought you may like it too . Watch the video then decide, it’s 40$ to buy but it may be very handy for you. At the end of this video he says there is a 20% off coupon but I haven’t gotten that far yet, I’m half way done. I am following text description and watching the video. I had the old version on my old computer and forgot what it was called till last week when I was talking to a friend and fellow Novelist. I have done a bit of research on it and its a little like “Ywrite5” which is free but much more… Just watch the video and decide if this is for you. It is pricey but I feel it is well with it my dear writer friends… I had a house full of people but I will be testing it out this week and will be able to fully to decide… I am wondering what you use if you write… I think this will come in handy with my fictions. Especially with organizations… I get stuck often because I keep everything in one folder for each story and some times that can be overwhelming and I get tired of going back and forth. So I want a handy tool where I can keep my mess and make it neat. I may not have the most organized house but when it comes to writing and my projects I am very organized and picky. I have to say the video and images made me expected something a little more high-tech then what I downloaded. Possibly the trial is 1.o but the the video is 2.0…. I have to look deeper into that when I am more awake….

You can get the free trial and buy it here: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php

After doing some research I found out why my Scrivener looks different in the videos. I knew it was a mac, and I had my guess they were using 2.0 and I had 1.0 well… I was right…. There is definitely a 20.0 But only for mac users….. So I will be waiting to buy… That’s to much money to put out twice… I’m disappointed…. Oh well….
