Dead Dreams Kickstart fundraiser

 



Hello, everyone! Today I would like to let you know of a fundraiser that I have started. I created a kickstart fundraiser. I want to raise at least $1,000 for my novel. This money will go to cost on publishing and promoting the book. This money will also cover the cost for a professional edit. This  fundraiser will run for 30 days. Also, If you help me out for only $10 you will receive an e-book version of the book the latest August of this year. I would like you to check it out!

Click here to check out the fundraiser!

Hope you all will help me out!

November Update

Hi, everyone! So last time I chatted with you I mentioned that I was doing National Write a Novel Month. Well, November has come and gone and I have finished my first draft! So now I am working my butt off, when I can find the time, to edit, edit, edit! In hopes to have this done within the next few months. Once I am done with this proses I want to offer you an opportunity to become a beta reader for me. What you will do is once I am happy with what I have edited and had a few of my closest friends read it. I want you to read it as well and let me know your thoughts on the novel. With doing so, you will get a free copy to read and give me your thoughts. Then once I am promoting for pre-order I will send you a free copy of the finished product. In hope, you would write a review on amazon. You can become my beta reader if you sign up for my newsletter! Within the coming months, I will be sending an email about this in more detail. So, I hope you will celebrate with me! On one draft done and many more to come!

LET'S PARTY!!!!!!

Happy ThanksGiving and Black Friday!

Hi, Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Spending time with family and friends and not shopping until now. I enjoyed my Thanksgiving, we watched May's Thanksgiving parade and then went to see Goosebumps in 3D. I enjoyed the movie. Then we went to Golden Coral for dinner, and I did have my turkey and mashed potatoes. Once we were finished eating, we went to the BestBuy in the strip mall and my parents picked up some stuff as I kept my sister occupied since my parents were picking up something for her. Then we went to Target as well, and there was a Starbucks there. Making a joke, I said we could get hot chocolate. Of course, I was forced to get my sister a hot chocolate. That was the only thing I bought that last night. Bestbuy was more packed then Target was since we arrived at Bestbuy as they were letting people in. No one got hurt or any fights of what I know of. So I hope everyone had a get Thanksgiving and Shopping this great Black Friday.

Happy Holidays,

Kailyn

Pray for Paris

 



 

As many of you have heard that there were six attacks in Pairs yesterday. I do not know a lot to be honest but, I wanted to do a particular post to ask you, my readers, to pray for Paris. They are in for a rough time, and we all need to stand and help them. Even with the language barrier. So for the next few days I want everyone to reflect on how our lives are unique and one hundred and twenty life were lost yesterday. (That is the number I heard last night on the news. I do not know if that is still true.)

Unique

our lives

are special

They are

important

but,

when lives

are

cut short

It is

not fair

But,

the world

is never fair

Today lets

Reflect

on how

unique

our lives

are

and

Pray for

the

120

lives

lost

PRAY FOR PARIS

Hi, Everyone!

Hi, all!

Just want to give everyone an update on what is going on. As you all should know, from my last few post, I have changed domain names and become self-hosted.

This post is coming from my new site. Therefore, I will be closing down my other site in a few days. I have transferred all the post, comment, pictures, and all of you over to this site. So you will still receive emails about my post. Also, I have added an email newsletter. This newsletter is different from just following this blog. The newsletter allows you to get an inside look at my books.  Where you will get a first glimpse into my books and for signing up you will get an extended sneak peek into my newest book, My Poetry Through the Years: Book 2. Also, you will be notified about sales and giveaways with my books. So please sign up and I will send you the free extended sneak peek.

I am so excited to have expanded my site and can not wait for what is coming. I will continue to improve and change this site as we go on. If you have suggestions on anything you would like to see or change on my site email me @ kaitlynfranzonewriter@gmail.com

Thanks for all of your support!

Be Inspired By a Fellow Blogger!

Hello everyone! Yesterday my mission was to comment on new blogs. I saw many blogs but, some had no option to comment. So the one blog I commented on was Fast Pencil: Self-Publishing blog. The post that I read was four small things you can do to promote your book send a press release. I thought this post was very inspiring  and very informational. The idea of not needing a blog to promote your book interest me. The fact that I could summit a press release, gain some reader and I get my name out in my community was intriguing. I think I may try this once my novel takes shape and is closer to being published. Check out the blog if you are wanting to get published and need to promote your book.
Happy reading!

New Design and Widgets

Hello everyone! Sorry for not posting every Monday. I have been busy with the blogging101 class I signed up for to gain more knowledge on blogging. I also have a possible part-time job in my favor. I will keep you updated on that. But I wanting to write a post about the new changes to my blog I made so you guys can check it out. So I ended up changing the whole theme to my blog where I have gotten comments like "It look cleaner and I like the arrows on the side for the menu." I also added two widgets to free samples of my short stories and poems from my books. You can view and read them please do not download them you can favorite but, do not download. I believe you will enjoy the poems and short stories I choose and may look into purchasing the books with many more stories and poems for you to enjoy. Please check out the latest layout changes and free samples and leave comments or go to my contact page and email me directly if you have a personal question or comment.

Enjoy the new blog!

Happy Reading!
