As far as blogging, I am the slowest writer ever and since my series is a humorous mystery series, I feel that every post also has to be funny. And sometimes I just run out of funny! So I guest blog about 5 times a year and only post on my own blog every few months. But when I post something, everyone know it will be a fun read so I usually get between 50 and 150 comments. Twice a week I take time from my own writing to check out other blogs and I'm so happy I happened upon this post. I'll be checking on your from now on!Cindy Samplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332764051705819027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810198339931106526.post-54849945402701976432012-08-30T12:16:51.132-04:002012-08-30T12:16:51.132-04:00Thanks for your comments, Marilyn!Thanks for your comments, Marilyn!Edith Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388006370860482509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810198339931106526.post-90859740927229632992012-08-30T11:55:16.475-04:002012-08-30T11:55:16.475-04:00Edith,

I've recently joined a group blog, Make Mine Mystery, and will be blogging twice a month. I don't blog as often as I should on my own blog. I've no idea how much blogging helps sales. I regard it as another way of keeping up with readers and my fellow writers.Marilyn Levinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424778692932139865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810198339931106526.post-46965673771080884722012-08-30T09:36:17.681-04:002012-08-30T09:36:17.681-04:00Hey, thanks, E.B!

Sometimes blogging once per week plus doing interviews takes me away from my writing. But, I think promotion is part of this business. Blogging promotes your name and gives you a place to display your "wares." I'd like to say something astounding every week, but I think once per month I hit the mark. It's also a place to supplement your series for your readers. Keep up the good work!E. B.

Of course, I've only been blogging with Writers Who Kill since last January. Yes, it's time consuming, but I think it's worth it as much as for getting my name recognized, albeit in a very small way, but because it's good discipline to keep writing whether it's on a book, short story, poetry my journal or my blog. Which is on Thursdays at Writers Who Kill - hint, hint :-)Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810198339931106526.post-54178228802892874302012-08-29T18:56:40.789-04:002012-08-29T18:56:40.789-04:00Awesome, Rhonda.

Congratulations on two ...Happy Blogaversary, Edith! Congratulations on two years! <br /><br />The horse blog is going into its fifth year now. (!) I started blogging three times a week, then daily for my first Triple Crown race season. That's when my blog had its highest Google Rank, but daily is a pace I can't keep up. And Google changed its logarithms recently anyway.<br /><br />I may turn some of the essays into a book someday or even a travel book, but I don't want to be distracted more by non-fiction than I already am. The horse blog has been "berry, berry good to me." It's let me meet cool people and it got me the gig with Glenfiddich Explorers AND has been a labor of love, but I often wonder if it will translate into a career for fiction, even for horse stories. <br /><br />Anyhoo, that's my blogging story, morning glory. :) Seeya at the Twain House! =:-DRhonda Lanehttp://www.thehorseyset.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810198339931106526.post-42441467883276725842012-08-29T16:47:48.641-04:002012-08-29T16:47:48.641-04:00Congrats on your two year blog anniversary!

One can never know what really matters in terms of promoting oneself, so I figure I can do the things that are also fun. Sure, I could be lazy instead ;) -- but if I'm going to do something, it's going to be something fun. Gigi Pandianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378365974242102657noreply@blogger.com
