You're doing the right thing, and besides, it sounds like SB loves it. Win-win. :) Mon, 4 Apr 2011 15:33:43 +0000 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/04/my-gung-ho-girl.html#IDComment139902616 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-will-you-do-with-your-blog-once.html#IDComment139880916 You know, I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I'll probably make an author website that focuses on the books, and try to keep my blog as random as it currently is. Though writing is, of course, a part of my blog, I've tried not to concentrate overly much on the gory details of the publication process. Also, as enthusiastic as I am about my writing, I don't want my blog to become strictly a sales tool. I think that would get old fast, not only for the readers, but for me too.

Yes, those comments were horrible. Seems the idiots come out of the woodwork when they can shield themselves behind their keyboards. Fri, 1 Apr 2011 13:05:40 +0000 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/04/insult-to-injury.html#IDComment139104827 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/04/google-reader-roundup.html#IDComment139103739 Okay, I clicked on my name to check the link, and I was whisked over to Julie Dao's blog (which is very nice, btw). Pregnancy brain or April Fool's joke? ;) Fri, 1 Apr 2011 12:59:38 +0000 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/04/google-reader-roundup.html#IDComment139103739 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/03/looking-back-and-ahead.html#IDComment138595123 That's one area where it's much easier to be a newbie fiction writer -- platform doesn't matter as much. You know what? I think your whole Mom Pledge is going to take off, and THAT will provide you with a bigger platform. So it's all a part of eventually getting your book published. :) Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:13:05 +0000 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/03/looking-back-and-ahead.html#IDComment138595123 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/03/announcing-small-tales.html#IDComment138593848 If I didn't already suspect you were half-crazy (hey, you're a writer -- half-crazy is pretty much a given), this would confirm it. ;) But the whole idea sounds fantastic. Best of luck with the venture! :) Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:04:50 +0000 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/03/announcing-small-tales.html#IDComment138593848 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/03/tradition.html#IDComment138150937 Awww. That was beautiful. :) Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:24:38 +0000 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/03/tradition.html#IDComment138150937 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/03/ross-rad-reads-kristin-maschka.html#IDComment138127770 Congrats, Kristin! Sounds like a truly rad read to me. :) Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:21:48 +0000 http://www.thewriterrevived.com/2011/03/ross-rad-reads-kristin-maschka.html#IDComment138127770 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/03/mailbag.html#IDComment138101087 LOL! Great advice. Okay, now you go comment on my blog. ;) And I have never tweeted about pooping camels. Mutant conjoined partially formed twins, yes, but not pooping camels. ;) Mon, 28 Mar 2011 13:08:09 +0000 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/03/mailbag.html#IDComment138101087 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137494342 When you can't comment, have you tried clicking on the title of the post (as opposed to just the whole blog)? Sometimes that makes the comments appear. And you DO have a lot of really important contributions! Hey, laughter is important. ;) Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:22:29 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137494342 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137493937 Yeah, that's what I like about it, too. If ID can get the glitches worked out, I'd like to stay with it. If not... ugh. Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:20:02 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137493937 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137493789 Thanks! So, you're basically saying you could swing either way, huh? ;) Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:19:10 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137493789 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/03/google-reader-roundup_25.html#IDComment137482605 Aww, thanks. And I'll bet "waiting" is about your least favorite word now, too, so I am especially honored. Fri, 25 Mar 2011 13:16:44 +0000 http://sierragodfrey.blogspot.com/2011/03/google-reader-roundup_25.html#IDComment137482605 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137474895 Yeah, that's why I installed it in the first place -- because I like it when the blogs I visit notify me of replies to my comments. I visit a fair number of blogs, and don't always have time to go back and check. Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:29:42 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/does-this-post-make-my-but-look-big.html#IDComment137474895 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067735 Ah, yes. The inside of my eyelids is a very inspiring sight for me. Love the stuff that appears there! Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:19:04 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067735 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067485 And how much drool constitutes "disgusting"? I'm guessing it's if you have to drag out a towel. Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:17:59 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067485 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067327 Yes. Always. *sigh* Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:17:11 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067327 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067273 Mmm...walnuts. :) And, yeah, a healthy sense of humor greases the skids of life better than anything else. Well, that and chocolate. Maybe a little wine. Or a dirty martini. ;) Really, who needs patience when there's booze? Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:16:51 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137067273 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137066887 Not the patient sort, eh? The finger drumming is a dead giveaway. ;) Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:15:01 +0000 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137066887 http://lindagrimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/wednesday-is-for-waiting.html#IDComment137066669 LOL!
