April Writing Update / High Fantasy, Studying, and Selling Books!
There’s always a lot going on in a writer’s life, and mine is no different! I’m self-educating, studying, writing and doing vender markets to sell printed copies of my books. Very much looking forward to taking Living Undiagnosed copies to a sale for the first time. Crossing fingers my sales go well on May 7th!
How is your writing going?

FIVERR Gigs for Side Income / Work from home / Side Hustle
Although Fiverr is not a form of passive income, it is a great option for a side income. You can set your own hours, set your own pricing structure and sell a digital skill you are knowledgeable about. My gigs are for beta reading and peer editing, because I am a writer and self-published author on the side. I could also sell excel gigs on Fiverr, as I also have an advanced certification with MS Excel. But I have not jumped into selling that at this time.
Have you tried Fiverr before, and how did it go?
Have you considered trying to sell on Fiverr, and if so, what sort of gig are you planning?
