... Read moreAchieving the status of a New York Times Best Selling Author is a tremendous milestone that many writers aspire to reach. From my personal experience, the journey to this achievement is filled with dedication, perseverance, and a constant commitment to improving one’s craft. When I first began writing, I focused on developing authentic stories that resonate deeply with readers. The key is to remain true to your unique voice while also understanding your audience's interests and needs. The journey involves countless edits, feedback sessions, and moments of self-doubt, but the passion for storytelling keeps you moving forward. What I found particularly helpful was engaging with my readers through social media and community forums, which not only provided invaluable feedback but also built a loyal fan base. Leveraging these platforms helped create organic buzz around the book before its release. Being recognized as an NYT Best Selling Author also opens doors to new opportunities — from speaking engagements to collaborations with other creatives. It’s a reminder that hard work and authenticity pay off. For authors aspiring to join the ranks of bestselling authors, my advice is to stay persistent, embrace the writing process, and never underestimate the power of engaging with your audience genuinely. The hashtag #ofcourseitsgood is not just a celebration, but a testament to the belief in your own work and its value to readers. Ultimately, becoming a NYT bestseller is not just about sales numbers but about reaching and impacting readers on a meaningful level. It’s a milestone worth celebrating and a stepping stone toward even greater creative achievements.

NEW NYT GAME?!👀
There’s a new NYT game called Strands!! It’s not on the app since it’s in beta testing, but if you look up “NYT games strands” on Google, you should be able to find it! It’s like a word search - I enjoyed it! Have you tried it? If so, do you like it? What other NYT games do you play? My current

My NYT stats
Replying: My NYT Wordle stats! Not terribly impressive - I think. I did start playing before NYT bought the game. I lost my longest streak on April 1, 2024 with the word FROND. I also broke my streak in solidarity of the NYT Tech Guild in 2024 (I’m a member of a union.)
