I’ve never been to a conference or saw the point until now. What are the best ones (aside from the one mentioned in this post) you could recommend? Especially any that are in California.

Just wanted to let you know how helpful your class was at the conference. I have a whole new perspectives on blogs and am aiming for that three times a week standard! I mentioned you in my blog, mathewfranks.wordpress.com. Hope that’s okay!

What’s your twitter name, C.J.? I’ll follow. 🙂

I must have jotted down 20 pages of notes. I’ve since revamped my blog and have started doing regular posts on the same themes like you suggested (and no ranting, no political or religious chit chat anymore!). I’m also tagging the heck out of my posts and putting my name on everything under the sun. I also got a Twitter account. Thank you so much for all the great advice on building an author platform! I’m going to give it my all and cross my fingers. Thanks so much for doing the class.

I tend to be nervous any time I network anyway. I will definitely keep this in mind when I go to my first writer’s conference. I love how you use humor amidst such chaos! My sister has all those food allergies and she goes through absolute hell when she ingests the wrong stuff! Thank you so much for sharing. Between you and Piper Bayard–my sanity stays in tact, I think. Have a great week! 😉

Bought it first on Kindle; then started into it and liked it so much, I went back and ordered a “real” copy. (Sorry, but there is still part of me that likes to turn “real” pages. Plus, I like scribbling comments on the pages as I go!) I have been writing for quite a while and have been published in four magazines, but this internet arena is still new to me. With your help, and a few others, I am learning my way around. (Can you spend too much time trying to LEARN HOW TO DO and never actually get around to the doing part?) I have a few blogs out there…even here…but I am still very much of an amateur! Kind of just jumped in without much to go on. Now…I am learning what to do and not to do! Gasping/hyper-ventilating every now and then, as I discover how little I know about what I am doing! I love your blogs and am learning so much from you. Our sense of humor is somewhat alike, so that makes it even more enjoyable. I get your blogs by email so that I won’t miss anything! Only one problem with that…I get alot of others too, and if I get busy, my poor email about chokes to death! But I will not delete anything until I have devoured every word…sometimes more than once. Thanks again for all the info. Love it!

I find it reassuring that you knew so much (pre-2008) yet made mistakes. Thanks for being transparent and real.

By the way, love your book. Plan to apply so much more of your advice and tips later this year. (Once this ms is off my desk.)

Be comfortable. No one really pays attention to your dress and you are going to do a lot of sitting and walking and toting crap around. Wear layers in case you need to adjust for too much AC or heat.
