Mouse, Gifts, Summer, Unicorns, Dog, Babies, Kids, Beach

According to Google these are the most searched keywords on Amazon's KDP platform.

I'm sure I've mentioned the beach, Summer and dogs in my writing before but I don't think I've ever written about a mouse or a unicorn or gifts, specifically. Maybe I need to write a book about unicorns entitled, The Mouse is in the House? Or a book called Gifts for Kids? Sounds more like a catalogue, doesn't it?

One of the great challenges for writers today is "discovery". When so much time is spent on keywords, data packages, SEO criteria and search strings, it is easy to forget that we are talking about BOOKS. Songwriters have a similar problem, as do graphic artists. 

Between you, the writer, and them, the readers, waits countless groups and individuals looking to profit from your industry and your imagination. Half the time they literally do NO work, relying on AI and automation to parse data on their behalf. What the hell are we paying these parasites for? 

Oh well, I'd best be getting back to my new book, "How to Dox a Dog and Undress a Unicorn".
