Thanks as always for the links! That meaningful blog entry really struck me when she said that you should try blogging, but if you don't enjoy it, don't keep doing it! I think that's so true; on a few occasions I've visited blogs that were poorly maintained and it was clear that the author wasn't passionate about it. Kinda turned me off, it did.
I read your chapters but couldn't comment over there - guess I'll have to buy something on Amazon to comment. But with Powells in town and B&N and Borders, that's where I hang out.
Loved the bear part - scary. Loved the story - the only complaint was I LOVE eggplant and you must not. ;D
Those are 5 great reasons you can’t ignore! Just need to win your contest!
Thanks Shelli for doing the home work for us.
As always, these are great links. So helpful. Especially since I started a blog and don't know where to go from there!
Thanks for the links! The blog one is true - just do it! I started mine in Sept. and had no idea what I was doing but found my groove.
Shelli, how are the rankings for the Amazon contest determined? Is it number of downloads? Stars?
Congratulations on your ranking -- that's impressive!
63!!! Sheesh, from what I read you should be up there higher IMHO.
Thanks for the links, Shelli.
Your newest rating sounds great. I read excerpt and starred your book on Amazon. I loved it. Good luck with contest..
I'm glad to see your newest rating. Lookin' good!
Congrats on your rating. Now I wish I'd taken the time to enter. I found out about the contest a few days before the deadline and was so overwhelmed by all the other stuff I was working on that I decided not to take that on, too. A mistake for sure.
