What did you blog about today?

Yeah, it was/is depressing, but very interesting. From what I've read/heard, it's this kind of blog post -- how I self-published -- that tends to attract the most attention, because there are so many aspiring writers out there.

@Juliana, I'd like to see a spotlight on cover art/design, if you can find a suitable interviewee.

You were right, by the way. In two days I've had more hits on this than any other blog. Well into three figures.

Misery sells....:)
 
Great news, Jo. It's good to see that rewards come to those who put in the greatest effort. You keep goin' girl. (y)
 
I know. It is hard to get to everything. And now that I've started to read some science fiction, I'm doomed because there is just so much I've never read.

I better live to be 300

The speed you read at, you'll be fine. I'm glad you liked Salem's Lot, though - I think it's one of King's best. The house is just so creepy...

There are very likely a lot of introverts on this forum. I just thought I'd share this excellent book with those introverts. I think I may have mentioned it before, but it deserves repeating…

I'm not sure you have mentioned it before -- at least, I didn't notice it. Anyway, I'm glad you did mention it, as it's proving to be a very interesting read.

@Stephen Palmer and @HareBrain. Coincidentally, I have just blogged (my first and only blog,) about my very quiet daughter who quite frankly excells at dancing but would rather sit in pain than speak to someone. I know a lot of children grow out of things like that but wondered if this book might be useful?

I've only read a small part of it so far, but it seems to provide plenty of reasons why it's OK to be quiet, and that might be something she needs to hear if she's being pressured to be more extrovert and that isn't something she's comfortable with.
 
Congrats, Ratsy.

Sacrificing goats to Apollo is the only sensible approach to marketing.
 
You work far too fast, Springs.

Think you're right about the steam bit, though. [It's surprisingly hard to find a non-spoiler, coherent seven lines all together, I thought].

You caught me when I was writing anyway and musing about getting something onto the blog (the post this week I was going to use is going up on sffworld tomorrow instead, which is nice, and the one I want to write - inspired by @HareBrain and I talking about worlds being the mystery element of the story vs a vehicle for character stories is going to take a bit of time to nail).

It did take a bit of searching for, right enough. Hopefully mine will intrigue readers of book one.... :D
