Nathan Bransford's procrastination subforum has a popular thread just like this. It's a friendly place where your spam can be cherished and celebrated.

Today, I blogged about how to write a great author bio, and your favorite gay boys from In Living Color's 'Men on Film' made a guest appearance:

Let's Talk About Bios, Baby. Let's Talk About You and Me.

Okay, your turn.

Wow. I've never clicked the Stats tab on my Blogger account before, but just did a minute ago and learned that I had 463 hits last month! I'd expected, optimistically, a tenth of that.

Most popular have been my recent Visions Of The Mystic East, Catching The Glow (probably on account of the photograph), Twig By Twig, and Terry and the Bumrolls (which describes meeting Terry Pratchett at WorldCon some years ago).

Even if it doesn't translate into book sales, it's sweet to be read. :)

I just finished up my series on Heinlein's Rules of Writing tonight with Rule 5 - You Must Keep It On The Market Until Sold (with a short bit about how this applies to Indies as much as to writers going for traditional publication - hint: Winston Churchill explains it best.)

This is the first year anniversary of my blog, btw. I have written 395 posts in this past year. I may have missed one or two days, but it appears I have made up for it with some double posts. I didn't get the book done in time, but heck, I discovered Indie Publishing in February and that was darned distracting. The blog has kept me pretty well on track most of the time.

Yes I did! And I am so stoked! I posted to the Red Room : http://www.redroom.com/ last week and just this morning found the post is now listed as one of the favourites of the theme for that week: http://www.redroom.com/blog-keywords/my+favorite+garden+blog

Just posted a new one there (and as always, to my own blog): http://www.redroom.com/blog/shazza/i-went-get-a-facial-and-came-out

It is these little steps that encourage me to put in the hours for promotion and marketing of my book.

ps. can someone please point this obvious Luddite to how to put in a hyperlink here instead of the full monty. Keep in mind I know nada about HTML. thanks.

I posted to my blog last Saturday. Not my usual faire. We lost a local boy in Afghanistan and for a community of 3600, it has been deeply disturbing. Normally, I'm really funny. Seriously.www.jcoltman.blogspot.com
I'm so sorry to hear that. Very sad. I grew up in a small town and know how connected everyone is.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Betsala - I'm sorry to hear it. It must be very affecting as the young man graduated from the same class as your youngest child.

I'm still updating my blog. I have started doing podcasts about plans for a new novel. And I just came back from giving a talk to creative writing students at Middlesex University: http://helensmithblog.blogspot.com
