Great post. I’m glad I found your blog! I already took notes on your post about testing your story idea. Going to apply them to my WIP and blog about the process some time next week (if the six-week-old snuggly sleeping in my Moby wrap allows it.) 🙂

Thank you so much for your inspiring articles and for the kick-in the pants. The rest of this month I’m dedicating myself to getting into gear in the blogging world.

That’s right, Social Media Sister! I used to think that blogging would take away from my writing but it’s given me the opportunity to play with voice and ideas. I’ve loved every minute of it, especially connecting with people from all over the world. My first comment was from Bovine Bob from Japan. How cool is that? Thanks for the post, I’ll check back for more great advice.

In reply to Jennifer McFadden. Thanks Jennifer. Yes, the book will walk you through a detailed step-by-step and is written in the same voice as these blogs. It's bad enough we have to learn about social media so it might as well be fun, right? I blog on social media every Wednesday and will be starting a series about blogging. How do you blog? what do you blog about? How often should you blog? etc. Writers keep hearing that they need to blog, but no one is telling them WHAT to blog about. So I am hopefully going to remedy that, :D. Jan is a peach and I am really happy you have found my blog. And yes I put a ton of work into these blogs, but it is a real treat to be able to genuinely help you guys.

Hi Kristen,

I just found your blog from Jan O’Hara on Facebook. Your blog is very informative and inspiring, I can tell that you put a lot of time and effort into helping authors.

I am fairly new to blogging, and am not sure what I want to write about. I plan to buy your book before I post on my blog though!

Thanks for the advice!
