Congratulations on getting your book published as the market is so competitive and fickle, these days!<br /><br />I really enjoyed reading this post. Thanks for the thought-provoking tips. One of the rules that I have for myself is one that I am sure many bloggers have. I only write when I feel the need to. I have had a blog for a few years but I do not push myself to blog more than what feels comfortable and pleasing. I think that I would be doing my readers a disservice if I blogged only to fill space.<br /><br />Great blog! I will be back to read more soon:)Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-92162276925362947512010-11-11T16:36:06.542-07:002010-11-11T16:36:06.542-07:00I think you have the main points there, but we cou...I think you have the main points there, but we could consider another.<br /><br />My hubby says - why do you do all that stuff. I say, because it's fun and I learn so much from others who filter all that internet info and send the sort of stuff I want my way.<br /><br />If we understand how it works for ourselves, then we can write and pass on what might do that for others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-51168525947483979492010-11-11T10:58:06.360-07:002010-11-11T10:58:06.360-07:00Your baby is officially in my cart.

So...Great tips and Can't WAIT for Posession! <br /><br />Social Media is a monster--there is so much to do and all of it is so entertaining and time consuming. I am slowly learning how to handle the things I want to be involved in, but seriously, I want to be you when I grow up. Your ability to be in ten places at once and do it all so well is inspiring. Thanks for the great advice as always.Rachel Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711443001167188505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-38804391372551612342010-11-10T23:44:21.707-07:002010-11-10T23:44:21.707-07:00Great tips.
