I find blogging incredibly helpful when I am tackling something in my writing that is taking a lot of my time. It may be a tricky is a problem with editing or writing or even a research point that is proving difficult to track down. I write a blog on that particular subject, crystalise my thought and this helps me move on and also gives me an interesting post for others to read. Thank you for the above. The main points you highlight are definitely why I blog.

Took the time to re-read “… Author Platform Part 2”, away from writing on my 50K words challenge in the 31 days of January (JANO Writers). I am less than the 3 weeks progress count by more than 4K, but I thought; it was well worth clearing my mind first. I think better, afterwards. Usually, I read Yahoo! News articles of the world. I figured; a motivational blog would be better for today. I realized that you also teach specifics on how to be published and paid writers. Earlier, I expected just a lot of Rah! Rah! Ree! Kick them in the knee. At five-one I would drive to the basket among the redwood trees instead of passing off to the swing guard. I have the basketball and I cannot really pass the ball to anyone for me to complete my own novel. It is good to know, you can teach us to play one-on-one against our own fears of failure and to some, those afraid of success. Like during high school, what would happen if best looking cheerleader said “yes” to going with me to the prom? Better ask someone else. I better go back writing on my novel. My political action thriller is halfway finished, to create an American president.

I recently started a blog after realising that although I am writing a novel in the women’s fiction genre, it will be some time before anyone actually reads it. I agree that blogging is a fantastic way to build readership and hope that this will help me in getting my book published when it is finished. I have diarised to upload a weekly blog post from this week (mummylovestowrite.com). Great blog Kristen, thank you 🙂

I plan to turn my blog into book. It’s through my blog that I discovered my inherent need to write. I would love that critique. X

You are right about blog posts lasting. I just had a blog post I wrote 5 weeks ago explode out of the blue. I found out later that the Institute of Children’s Literature had included it in their newsletter that month! And one of our top 5 posts on my group blog is one of our earliest–usually found by searches.

I have aged into an introvert. How in the world could I conduct a school visit or a book signing if I was too chicken? Blogging has forced me to open up, and you know what? It’s not that bad.

I first started blogging to let people know I was there and what I do. Now it is the same, but more focussed, esp about who I am with Asperger’s Syndrome. I have decided to turn my blog series about that into articles that I want to epublish, and later on into memoirs.
