For the first time in my life, I’m stepping out on a limb and putting myself out there in a video. In fact, it is a video blog.

      Nervous!

      You bet, but I feel this is the next step in the evolution of the marketing of my books: A Brownstone in Brooklyn, Philly Style and Philly Profile, Ghost of Atlanta and Purple Phantoms.

       “Thompson On…My Personal Journey to Writing Confidence”  is the first video blog in a series called, Thompson On…, where I will be tackling different writing, publishing and marketing issues.

        The main idea for this first video is about achieving writing confidence. I talk about my first tentative steps that eventually to lead to me winning the 2011 Readers Favorite National Gold Medal Award for General Fiction for Ghost of Atlanta.

         I reveal personal anecdotes into the genesis of my writing career and a snapshot of what I overcame to achieve writing confidence and then writing success in Journalism and novel writing.

          Please watch my video blog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlVzwwkokak&feature=g-upl

           And  after watching my video blog, you can visit my website and read my blogs on writing confidence and other topics: http://www.purplephantoms.com/blog.html
