The #myblueskydays Instagram Hashtag Challenge and Giveaway

“She said she always felt better on blue sky days. Like nothing could be too bad when the sky was blue and there was so much beauty in the world.”

~Blue Sky Days by Marie Landry

Today marks 25 years since my dad’s death from leukemia. He was three months shy of his 50th birthday, and I was only 10. As you can imagine, it was a devastating loss for my family, and it changed our lives completely. Jump ahead about ten years to when I wrote what would end up being my debut novel, Blue Sky Days. The story was a way to honour my dad and give a character I came to love the happily ever after my dad didn’t get.

For years, I’ve wanted to do a photo challenge inspired by Blue Sky Days. The time has finally come, and I’m SO excited to bring you the #myblueskydays hashtag. The idea is to post pictures of your blue sky days; you can be literal and post pics of blue skies and nature, or you can use the term in the meaning associated with the book: anything that brings you joy. Happy days spent with loved ones, quiet moments, big events, a good book, a cup of coffee, a beloved pet, a favourite travel destination - anything goes as long as it’s something that makes you happy. My hope with this hashtag is to create a community of people who appreciate beauty, find magic in the everyday, and want to spread love and kindness.

THE GIVEAWAY:

*Use the hashtag on as many of your posts as you like between now and July 31st. Pics don’t have to be new, but they must be posted between today and July 31st to count for the giveaway. Two random winners will be chosen from all entries at the end of July and will each get a $10 gift card of their choice. If there’s enough interest in the hashtag I’ll make the giveaway a monthly thing. Feel free to use the hashtag whether you follow me or not. I completely understand not every feed is for every person, and I won’t take it personally if you choose not to follow me. BUT if you want to be eligible for the prize, you must be following me.

*Bonus entry #1: Share my main challenge post on Instagram in your stories or mention the challenge and tag me

*Bonus entry #2: If you post a picture of my book Blue Sky Days, you’ll get 1354 bonus points. Just kidding! Kind of. No, but really, if you happen to take a picture of Blue Sky Days (on your phone, e-reader, or tablet - the book is currently only available on Kindle, Kobo, iBooks, and Nook) you’ll get an extra entry, along with my eternal gratitude. I’m an indie author with limited connections, so every single sale and every time someone mentions or posts about my book(s) to someone else means the world to me and helps more than you can imagine.

*Note: The challenge itself will be taking place on Instagram, but feel free to use the hashtag on other social media platforms as well and I'll be sure to keep an eye on it and like your posts!

That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment here or better yet, leave a comment on my original Instagram post. You can also DM me on Instagram. Let's have a summer (or winter if you're in the southern hemisphere) full of blue sky days!

5 Things I've Learned in 5 Years of Publishing

Five years ago this week, I published my debut novel, Blue Sky Days. In the five years since, I’ve met so many incredible people, from fellow authors to bloggers to readers - sometimes even people who are all three. I’ve been very fortunate to make great friends, learn a lot, and grow as a person and as a writer. I’ve published several other books in the last five years, learning something new with each release.

Today I wanted to share five of the things I’ve learned in the last five years since I became a published author.

• Manage your expectations. It’s good to be positive and confident, but publishing is basically a crapshoot. You can plan and set goals and do everything you ‘should’ do, and you might not get the outcome you hope for. For example, the books I’ve thought would be my bestsellers haven’t sold as well as I’d hoped, and the books I was uncertain about have produced my highest sales. You just never know. For my first few books, I set my expectations high - too high. Over time I learned to keep my expectations in check, and go into publishing each new book with cautious optimism. I know I’ve worked hard and done what I could to write the best book possible and promote it, and the rest is out of my hands. You can’t force people to buy or read your book, just like you can’t force people to love it.

• It's important to become part of the writing community. You can find writers everywhere these days: blogs, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, forums, you name it. Find people who will build you up, encourage you, and support you. Surround yourself with positive, helpful people. If you remain genuine and are looking to make real friends and connections, it shouldn’t be hard. Some people will be interested in genuine friendship and may become lifelong friends. Others will be looking for a purely professional relationship, where they’re willing to read your work or help you promote in exchange for doing the same for them. Find what works for you, but don’t set out with the intention of only making friends with people who can do something for you.

That being said…

• Be careful who you trust. I would never want to make anyone paranoid, but I’m sure we’ve all heard horror stories about ideas or bits of writing being stolen, stories being plagiarized, etc. Make sure that your early readers - beta readers, editors, fellow writers, etc - are trustworthy and that you can count on them to not only keep your work private, but to follow through with their commitment. Don’t choose people to read your book who might make things personal in a hurtful way. For example, I had a beta reader who was a good friend, and who had read a few of my previous books. She turned each of them in late, which, when you're on a deadline makes things difficult and stressful. At one point, we fought - as friends do - but because this person tended to take things extremely personally and then punish people, when it came time to beta read my next book, some of her comments were obviously made with the intention to hurt. She then took things a step further and told several of her friends about the parts of the book she didn’t like, then they all tweeted about it, openly mocking my writing. I can take criticism about my work; I ask my beta readers to be brutally honest about what they think does and doesn’t work in each of my stories. But when you make things personal, it’s not only childish, it’s extremely unprofessional, and makes you untrustworthy. This was a hard, painful lesson to learn, but now I'm extra careful about who I trust with my work before it goes out to the public.

• Reviews are for readers, not authors...mostly. In the beginning, I read every review for Blue Sky Days. Some of them built me up, and others broke my heart. It was difficult not to take the negative reviews personally. In time, I got to a point where I could read them and learn from them. I discovered what did and didn’t work for readers, where I might have gone wrong with certain things, and it made me a better writer going forward. I continued to read reviews occasionally from then on, but found they were having too much of an effect on me. I could get ten amazing reviews and one negative one and it would be the negative one that stuck with me. Reading is subjective and I fully believe a) everyone is entitled to their opinion, and b) we all have different tastes, different likes, different triggers, etc. But when it's your own writing - something you've worked hard on, poured your heart and soul into - it can be difficult not to take the criticism as a direct hit. As a book blogger, it was initially my natural inclination to read reviews, but I had to stop. I was too focused on the ratings and reviews, and it was messing with my mind and my confidence. I stay away from reviews now unless someone points out a positive one to me. For instance, my critique partner sent me snippets of positive reviews for my last release, knowing I didn’t want to seek out reviews myself, but also knowing it’s a nice boost to know people are enjoying your work. I also have a friend whose husband sends her positive reviews of her book since she has the same problem I did. If it screws with your head enough that it affects your confidence or your writing, stay away from the reviews and concentrate on writing.

• Always keep going and keep growing. Read widely, and not just how-to or technique guides, but novels. Novels in your genre and age category, and outside them. Learn from others. Follow your favourite writers on Twitter - they often share great tips, plus motivation. Follow writing boards on Pinterest. Write for yourself. Don’t write with an audience in mind. Don’t worry about whether people will love or hate your book, as long as you love it and you’re proud of it. Don’t follow trends because you think it’ll make you a lot of money or get your book more attention. I’ve known several people who have done this, and it’s gotten them nowhere. Write the thing that scares you, write outside your comfort zone, write what’s in your heart. Just write, and keep writing.

Those are five of the many things I've learned in the last five years. I hope some of you have found this useful.

I'd like to sincerely thank the people who have supported me through this journey. It means the world to have such wonderful people in my life, encouraging me and cheering me on. Thank you to every person who has read one or more of my books and left a review or messaged me privately. Thank you to the bloggers who have spread the word about my books over the years. The time and energy you put into your posts is incredible, and it's greatly appreciated.

Last year was a quiet writing year for me, but I have a lot of things planned for 2017 and beyond. I hope you'll all stick around! ♥

3 Years Ago...

Three years ago today, I published my first novel, Blue Sky Days.

Saying that feels surreal. The last three years have been a roller coaster. Being a published author has been my lifelong dream, and I still can't believe that dream came true.

This book, and getting it published, was a labour of love. I wrote the original draft when I was in my early twenties. I'd written other books, but this one was my favourite - it was the one I was proudest of. I sent it to a local publisher, who rejected it (thank god), and then I set it aside for about seven years. I wrote other stories in the meantime, and eventually started writing with a partner. We wrote a cozy mystery novel together, and started querying agents, but no one was interested. We talked about self-publishing, but it had a horrible reputation at the time, so we dismissed that idea pretty quickly.

Shortly after we parted ways as writing partners, I started writing on my own again. I dug out Blue Sky Days, reread it, and fell back in love with it. I did some research on self-publishing, and discovered it was becoming what appeared to be a viable option. I knew I could go through the process of querying again, but I wanted my story out in the world. I wanted people to read it, I wanted to touch people. I spent months researching self-publishing, reading countless articles and blogs, and finally decided it was the route I wanted to take. I spent several more months revising and polishing Blue Sky Days, having people read it and give feedback, then I sent it to an editor. I planned to publish it in September of 2011, but between my editor missing my deadline, and my beloved Grama's death, I decided to push the publication date back and be a 2012 debut author. 

The rest, as they say, is history. In the last three years, I've written and published more books, I've made amazing friends who range from fellow authors to bloggers to readers, and I've learned so much. It hasn't always been easy, but I haven't regretted my decision for a minute.

Thank you to all the people who have supported me over the last three years, either by buying my books, reading them, reviewing them, reading my blog, chatting with me on Twitter and Facebook, or cheering me on while I'm writing. Your support and encouragement keeps me going and means so much to me.

Emma Ward has always been the type of girl to approach life with a plan, but at nineteen, she's drifting aimlessly. She's spent so long trying to be perfect, and now she doesn’t have an identity beyond that. Desperate for a change, Emma jumps at the chance to leave Toronto and move in with her free-spirited Aunt Daisy in a town that makes Emma feel like she's stepped back in time.

Immediately at home in Riverview, Emma begins to bloom for the first time in her life. When she meets handsome and charming Nicholas Shaw, everything changes. Nicholas is old-fashioned, sexy, and believes in living life to the fullest. Soon Emma is doing things the old Emma never would have done, like jumping in rivers, or picking berries in the rain. She steps outside her comfort zone and falls in love for the first time. Between Daisy and Nicholas, Emma feels like she belongs somewhere for the first time in her life, and realizes you don't always need a plan—sometimes life steers you where you're meant to be.

Life is a wonderful string of blue sky days, until a sudden life-changing event shakes Emma to her core. Now it's time for her to help Nicholas the way he's helped her. Emma will have to use her new-found strength, and discover along the way if love really is enough to get you through.

Blue Sky Days Relaunch Blitz + Giveaway

Welcome to the Blue Sky Days Relaunch Blitz!

Today (June 27th) is the 20th anniversary of my dad’s death from leukemia. For a long time I’ve wanted to honour him in some way, and I thought having the relaunch of Blue Sky Days, a book that was partly inspired by him, would be the perfect tribute. My dad was a wonderful man—smart, funny, kind, and loyal. He was an amazing father, husband, brother, and friend. Even before he died, I knew I wanted to be a writer, and he would listen to my crazy made-up stories with the patience of a saint.

From the 27th-30th of June, half the proceeds from all sales of Blue Sky Days will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. If you already own a copy, maybe you’d consider buying the book for a friend or family member? Or buying another copy from a different retailer (like Smashwords, which offers the book in every format)?

I greatly appreciate the support of the online reading/writing community for helping me honour my dad.

A year after graduating from high school, nineteen-year-old Emma Ward feels lost. She has spent most of her life trying to please her frigid, miserable mother - studying hard, getting good grades, avoiding the whole teenage rebellion thing - and now she feels she has no identity beyond that. Because she spent so many years working hard and planning every moment of her life, she doesn't have any friends, has never had a boyfriend, and basically doesn't know who she is or what she really wants from life. Working two part-time jobs to save money for college hasn't helped her make decisions about her future, so she decides it's time for a change. She leaves home to live with her free-spirited, slightly eccentric Aunt Daisy in a small town that makes Emma feel like she's stepped back in time.

When Emma meets Nicholas Shaw, everything changes - he's unlike anyone she's ever met before, the kind of man she didn't even know existed in the 21st century. Carefree and spirited like Daisy, Nicholas teaches Emma to appreciate life, the beauty around her, and to just let go and live. Between Daisy and Nicholas, Emma feels like she belongs somewhere for the first time in her life, and realizes that you don't always need a plan - sometimes life steers you where you're meant to be.

Life is wonderful, an endless string of blue sky days, until Nicholas is diagnosed with cancer, and life changes once again for Emma in ways she never thought possible. Now it's time for her to help Nicholas the way he's helped her. Emma will have to use her new-found strength, and discover along the way if love really is enough to get you through.

BLUE SKY DAYS Relaunch Blitz for the Canadian Cancer Society

Some of you already know this, but I’m in the process of rewriting my debut novel, Blue Sky Days. I wrote it when I was 20, then about 7 years later decided I wanted it to be my debut novel, so I pulled it out and rewrote it. My life experiences and writing experience helped me fix all the issues I had with it originally (mainly the fact it was only about 40,000 words and I knew that wasn’t long enough). I’m extremely proud of BSD for a variety of reasons, but over the last year or so there have been things I wished I could add or change. I didn’t feel like Emma and Nicholas’s story was complete. Now I’m going with the ‘third time’s the charm’ theory and I’m planning to relaunch the book in June with some changes and additions to the story, a new cover, and a new synopsis.

June 27th is the 20-year anniversary of my dad’s death. He was diagnosed with leukemia in 1992, and spent the next two years in and out of hospitals battling the cancer. After two long, hard years, his body couldn’t take anymore, and he passed away. For those of you who have read Blue Sky Days, you’ll know the story has a cancer storyline. My dad was part of my inspiration for the story.

For a long time I’ve wanted to do something special to honour my dad. I decided to have the relaunch on the anniversary of his death, and this is where you lovely people (hopefully) come in. I’m planning a book blitz from June 27th until June 30th. During that time, half of all proceeds from the sales of Blue Sky Days will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society in honour of my dad.

Even though there are many blog tour companies who are extremely talented and do a great job, I’ve decided not to pay someone to host the blitz because I want to make an additional donation to the Canadian Cancer Society, and I could use the money I would spend on a blitz.

How can you help?

• Sign up for the book blitz. Whether you’re a book blogger or an author, if you have a website or blog and are willing to do a post between June 27th and 30th, please sign up. I’ll send out all the information at the beginning of that week, and you can use my pre-written HTML post, or create one of your own.

• Donate money toward a prize. I’d like to have a tour-wide Rafflecopter with several cash prizes*. For everyone who donates money toward the giveaway, I’ll add an entry of your choice in the Rafflecopter (for example, the entry could be to follow your blog, like your Facebook page, follow you on Twitter, etc). I’ll also add your name and the link of your choice to the HTML that goes out to blitz hosts, as well as a special page on my blog that will remain up permanently, and will hopefully continue to drive traffic to your site or get you likes/follows.

• Spread the word. If you know people who might be interested in participating in the blitz and/or donating money toward the prizes, please share this blog post with them, or feel free to tweet about it, post it on Facebook, etc. I’d be extremely grateful to anyone willing to spread the word and get more people on board. 

*Why cash prizes and not gift certificates? I recently discovered that if an author sends an Amazon gift card to a blogger and they buy and review a book with that gift card, their reviews could be taken down from Amazon. Don’t ask me how it works or why Amazon does it, but now I’m wary of sending out gift cards since I know a lot of people do post reviews on Amazon. I’d like to do PayPal cash prizes instead and then the winners can use the money for whatever they want. Every cent of donated money will go toward prizes. You have my solemn promise that I won’t keep any of it. How ever much I receive in donations will be divided into prizes. So for instance, if the donations total $50, I could have 5 prizes of $10 PayPal cash or 2 $25 prizes. I’ll figure out how to divide it later, but I want to assure all donors that their money will be used solely for prizes.

If you’re interested in participating in the blitz, please fill out this form. There’s an extra space at the bottom with instructions for donations.

Thank you in advance to the people who are willing to help with this relaunch. <3

A HUGE milestone for me: I've been quoted!

Back in April, I was contacted by Sara, a reporter from Quill & Quire - Canada's Magazine of Book News and Reviews. She said she was working on a story investigating the new genre called 'new-adult fiction' and wondered if she could talk to me "as you are someone who was essentially writing a new-adult protagonist before it became a trend." I was shocked. Like, stared at the computer screen, read the email a dozen times to make sure I hadn't misunderstood, SHOCKED. And then excited. And then I basically had a meltdown because I hate talking on the phone and I'm really shy and nervous and rambly. Beyond all that, I was incredibly honoured that a reporter from a magazine a) had even heard of me, and b) was interested in my opinion. 

It was also exciting to realize that, yeah, I was writing new adult protagonists before it became a trend. I didn't set out to do something new and groundbreaking, it just worked out that way. When I originally wrote Blue Sky Days about eight years ago, my MC Emma was in her twenties and I considered the book adult romance. Then two years ago something big happened: I pulled Blue Sky Days out of hiding and decided to rewrite and publish it, and around the same time I fell in love with YA lit and became a book blogger. When I decided on the rewrite, I figured I'd stick with Emma's original age, but I decided the book would work as YA, so Emma became a 19-year-old. When I published the book in January 2012, I had no idea that new adult would become a genre, let alone the wildly popular one it is today. 

I won't go into too much detail, because I've talked about it before, but I really do think new adult has a place in publishing. Some people are turning their noses up at it, and yeah, there's some crap out there, but let's be honest: there's crap in every genre. I think new adult has a lot of potential, and as more than just 'sexed up YA'. The age range it deals with is such an exciting time - characters are in that in-between time in life where they're not children anymore, but they're not really adults either. The world is full of possibilities, and even though they've likely experienced some heartache along the way, they're not as naive as teens might be, but not yet as jaded and cynical as adults who have seen and done a lot more. I genuinely hope that people will give this genre a chance - it's full of gems!

You can read the full article by Sara here: Growing pains: will “new adult” fiction catch the attention of Canadian publishers?

*A huge thank you to Sara for thinking my opinion was worth sharing, and to Ashley from Book Labyrinth for tweeting me about the article after CK Kelly Martin tweeted about it*

Great Summer Reads Giveaway Hop

The Great Summer Reads Hop is hosted by Cindy C. Bennett.

There's just something about books set in the summer, isn't there? They seem so full of hope and possibilities, and endless potential for amazing things. I guess that's probably why I tend to set my own novels in the spring and summer. I write coming-of-age stories, and summer just seems like the perfect time frame for stories about self-discovery and change. 

Because of that, I chose to give away one of my own books for this hop. The winner can choose between Blue Sky Days, The Game Changer, and Waiting for the Storm. 

Blue Sky Days (contemporary young adult/new adult)

The Game Changer (contemporary women's fiction/chick lit)

Waiting for the Storm (contemporary young adult)

Giveaway Details:

*One (1) person will win their choice of one (1) of my novels

*Open internationally

*The giveaway runs from midnight July 9th - 11:59pm EST July 12th. I will contact the winner after the giveaway closes, and they'll have 48 hours to respond, at which point if I haven't heard back from them, I'll choose another winner.

2013 Canada Day Blog Hop

The Canada Day Blog Hop is hosted by three lovely Canadians: Chrystal from Snowdrop Dreams of Books, Carmel from Rabid Reads, and Aislynn from Stitch Read Cook.

If you've been following Ramblings of a Daydreamer for any length of time, you'll likely know that I'm a very proud Canadian. I love my country and take great pride in being Canadian. Because of that, I always set my books in Canada. All three of my novels are set in Ontario, Canada; the towns are fictional but are surrounded by well-known cities (little-known fact: The Game Changer was actually set in my city, just with a little twist on the name). Blue Sky Days is set in Riverside, a small town three hours north of Toronto; The Game Changer is set in Bellevue, a city two hours east of Toronto; and Waiting for the Storm is set on Angel Island, which is part of the Thousand Islands off Kingston. Also, in each book, the characters visit at least one real Ontario city (Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, and Belleville, just to give you an idea).

For this year's Canada Day Blog Hop, I'm giving away the winner's choice of an e-copy of one of my novels.

Blue Sky Days (contemporary young adult/new adult)

The Game Changer (contemporary women's fiction/chick lit)

Waiting for the Storm (contemporary young adult) 

A little bit of shameless self-promotion here: I'm having a Fan Appreciation Event where Blue Sky Days is currently just 99 cents (available everywhere ebooks are sold), and I'm offering a $25 Amazon gift card or $25 PayPal cash for people who help me spread the word about Waiting for the Storm by writing a review. If you win and decide to choose Waiting for the Storm, you'd have time to read and review it before the promotion is over. Just a couple things to think about! ;-)

Giveaway Details:

*One (1) person will win their choice of one (1) of my novels

*Open internationally

*The giveaway runs from midnight June 27th - 11:59pm EST July 1st. I will contact the winner after the giveaway closes, and they'll have 48 hours to respond, at which point if I haven't heard back from them, I'll choose another winner.
