Three years ago, I started a challenge on Goodreads to read a book a day. I have succeeded the last two years. I didn’t include leap year this year, like I should.
So far I am 120+ books behind. I still think I can do it.
I’ll be looking at comic books and manga to fill in the rest. Wish me luck.

I purchased an air fryer after my fryer died.
If you haven’t heard, an air fryer is an almost oil free fryer. At the most 1 tsp can be used. I thought about all the savings I would have, but the question is does it work?
Inside:
I put it to the test and put in curly fries to check it all out. Halfway through, I had to shake it:
And once it is done. 10-12 minutes total. Need 2 minutes to warm it up.
It worked. I’m totally hooked on it.
Chicken patties:
Onion Rings:
Egg Roll from supper:
All of these are store bought either cold section or freezer food. I never took pictures of food I made myself. I found out that you will need oil. The tip I give for that is to make sure you add a small amount of oil 1/2 – 1 tsp max.

UPDATE: Both my sisters bought one, and they enjoy it a lot.

Twitter has an unofficial rule. It’s called the 80/20 rule. It means one in every five tweets can be about your work. It’s “unofficial” because tweeps (twitter people) will get upset about you talking about just your work.
Think of it like this, right now the big fad is selling stuff, home businesses, and posting images of a person’s kid. Wouldn’t it be annoying if your friend always talked about it and never said anything else? That’s what you are doing if you only promote your book.
It will also help boost you visually in other areas. You need to branch out to be more visible. If people follow you and see your post, they might even buy your book. They can’t do that if they don’t see your post.
Use hashtags on everything. There are many popular writer ones out there and more. Google them. I use #writing, #amwriting (when I’m writing), #amediting (when I’m editing), #funny, #inspiration, and etc.
I have a schedule I am starting to use. I started it on Monday.
Monday thru Friday:
8 AM: Tell Me Something Good (News about something great/good that has happened in the world)
10 AM: Something Funny
12 PM: Retweet
2 PM: Inspirational quote
4 PM: A link (Mine are most about writing tips or someones blog/website and etc)
6 PM: Something about my writing
I’m doing 1/6 but it works for me. It didn’t take me that long to set it up. 30 minutes to 1 hour. It took the longest for Tell Me Something Good. I’m still working out the kinks for some of the posts. I use HootSuite to schedule everything on Sunday. I suggest to up load pics instead of linking them.
