LIGHTBULB! I feel like you’ve just taken my wrist and gently spanked it. Thanks for the eye-opening, time for me to lighten up.

“How Michael Connelly books saved my sanity” was a blog written on the assumption that we all share a need for a sense of escapism. We all need an escape from ourselves and to find it through books was really impressive.

Your blog posts have inspired me so much, even though I’ve only recently changed my blogging habits I’m going to change them again and I’m really excited about it. Thank you!

In reply to Jen.

Write 100 words that make YOU unique. Your brand is YOU. Then find a theme and blog on topics that interest you AND interest readers. Your objective should be to make your blog a community water cooler where people like hanging out and sharing and voicing opinions. There is nothing, per se, wrong with blogging about our kids as long as we make it a discussion and invite people to share their opinions, thoughts and advice. Blogs are more than information and entertainment….they are engagement.

This blog series is going to address this in more detail. But your blog cannot do what only your book can. Only your book can make people love your book. Our blog makes people like and want to support US, whether they happen to read our genre or not. I also have a book that will be coming out soon called, “Are You There, Blog? It’s Me, Writer” and it is a deeper explication of blogging :D.

I’ve actually got a question. When you picture your blog in your mind, should you consider what other authors of the same genre are doing and try to incorporate some of that? IE, erotica authors giving sex advice, romance authors posting a hunk o’ the week, SF authors posting sciency tidbits?

What’s a good number of topics to cover in a blog, especially if they’re not really related to your writing, but topics that make you who you are (or stuff you can speak on with some bit of authority or entertainment)? How do you keep your blog from becoming “hey guess what my kids/cats/dogs/frogs/chickens did today”?

Thanks for including me in your mash-up! 🙂 And I totally understand on the breaking the “don’t write long blogs” rule. I’m notorious for long posts too. But like you, I do try to break it up with headings and vital points in bold so that skimming can be done if necessary. And not I’m going to watch Kitchen NIghtmares with a new eye. 🙂
