What did you blog about today?

Very interesting, Jo. Best selling kidlit author Rick Riordan has a great blog post that I've linked to before which talks about the same thing; how it took a lot of person to person teccomendation of his first couple of Percy Jackson books before they took off. Booksellers, librarians, teachers, the kids themselves... (And now he tours to packed and sold out venues.)
 
I rambled about world-building: Thaddeus the Sixth: Two Ways To Create A World

I adopt diametrically opposing approaches for serious stuff and comedy. Both seem to work, according to reviewers. I think the real lesson here is that it doesn't matter whether you go for in-depth world-building or take a spontaneous approach, so long as you sacrifice a goat to Apollo beforehand.
