❄️ Cat Prints in the Snow ❄️

The storm dumped less snow than predicted in my area, but we did get a lot of sleet (as you might be able to tell from my photo) and the temperatures dropped significantly, so the roads are pretty icy.

Other than that, the kids are having fun outside, and I made sure to take some time to have fun with them. I really, really love the snow! Only one of my cats does 😹

How did things turn out where you are? ❄️

✨ Another Master Vault Highlight ✨

This is the very next class of interest on my list in the
​Write it. Finish it. Publish it! Master Vault!​

For fiction authors, I think this "Become an Amazon Power Author" class is the most relevant. The focus of this workshop is on using Amazon KDP to publish, promote, and profit from your book—so you can get more readers and sell more books.

If you've been struggling to find your way forward and are looking for another path to reaching more readers, then this looks like a class you'll want to take notes on while watching.

There are 9 main classes or ebooks, plus the bonus class "Book Profits Mastery Course." This is a tidy vault of resources for both fiction and nonfiction authors, and ideal for fiction authors who have ever wanted to write nonfiction (a book on writing? a memoir? a book on that time you swam with dolphins? Do it! 😁 )

All for $49. That's an excellent deal on 10 Total resources to help you level up your writing, publishing, and sales in 2026.

Which one of these classes would you watch first? Or would you download my Busting Writer's Block workbook first? 😉 😁

New Lulu Discount - 15% OFF Print

​Lulu (not an affiliate link) has released a new discount, which is super helpful if you want to:

• Buy a new planner for yourself
• Buy a planner for your friend/loved one (Birthdays? Valentine's? A much-needed distraction from world chaos?)
• Stock up on print copies of your own books! That's right, you can do that with Lulu. And the quality far exceeds that of Amazon. 15% Really adds up when you're buying inventory, and you get to buy them at cost, just like you would with Amazon author copies.

ICYMI: Ready to Revamp Your 2026 Plan?

I've published my first (public) video​ on YouTube in a long time. I hope it's the first of many -- if it's helpful to you. Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe if you do find it helpful. That way, I know to continue with my plans to record more planning and productivity videos this year. 😊 🙌 💕

Why do I need the feedback? Because time, energy, finances (and my health are all limited, and I want to focus my efforts where they can make a real impact for me and for our writing community. As a creator, it's easy to feel lost in the noise sometimes and wonder if what we're doing matters. The best way to determine that is through feedback.

If you don't want to watch the entire workshop replay, you can always download the workbook (link in the video description OR HERE) I created and work through it on your own. I'd recommend printing it and filling it out by hand if you're able, as that can enhance brainstorming, thoughtfulness, and improve your retention.

The Ultimate Plan-Write-Publish Giveaway!

Have you heard the news? I've extended the deadline. This definitely needs more eyes, as my partners and I have worked hard to put this together.

About this giveaway: I've partnered with some amazing people to offer over $2700 in prizes as part of my Ultimate Plan, Write, & Publish Package Giveaway! 🥳 🙌 💕

In all, there are 28 prizes, with the Grand Prize being a publishing package - Custom Book Cover, Editing, Proofreading, and so much more!

The best part is that I'm offering HUGE bonus points to people who share posts about my planners. All entries will be verified, and I've set it up so the system can't be gamed by using email referrals as entries. That system simply isn't fair to people who are trying to participate honestly, so it's instead focused on engagement, interaction, and sharing on social media.

I hope you'll take a shot and enter! 😊

Talk Again Soon 🥳

By the end of this week, I'll release event dates for February, and updates on the "Resources" for your print planners. I realize there have been some bugs and mis-routing, and I've been fixing it as fast as I can.

Over this year, I'll be filling out and rebuilding a robust Online Resources site for you all in the "course" form on my website.

I'm almost finished with edits on a short story for my upcoming Valentine's Anthology and edits on a novel for a friend. Hopefully, I'll have them both finished today, and then I'm aiming for some HUGE writing days until I finish Book 2 of my Psychological Thriller series.

Come and sprint with me in Discord this week. Join HERE.

Talk again in a few days!

Warmest Wishes,

❄️ Audrey Hughey ❄️
