I am a reader who loves books and admires writers, but I don't want to spend that much time on Facebook. I just sinned I know. I like visiting this and a couple of blogs each day, and getting more familiar with the writers. DorothyL is a great forum, but sometimes the complaints sound a little whiny. I like hearing about who's lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-41293929606270841242010-07-13T13:12:41.194-04:002010-07-13T13:12:41.194-04:00On the pro-blog side, Poe's Deadly Daughters (...On the pro-blog side, Poe's Deadly Daughters (ie me, in this case) posted a blog on the topic of blood a couple of weeks ago and announced it on DorothyL. It got a significantly, even remarkably higher number of visits than we usually do. My inference is that we're still reaching readers as well as writers. <br /><br />Another point: I blog because I love blogging--it's like being a Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-10630454170008565442010-07-13T12:58:10.117-04:002010-07-13T12:58:10.117-04:00Paul, thanks for the info about blog carnivals.

I can keep up with people I wasn't usually able to keep up with other ways. Beyond that, I don't use Facebook much to promote my writing. I WILL be mentioning my new book there soon but not driving it into the ground . . . I hope.Lonnie Crusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617936690870869287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-48109579999022831542010-07-13T08:36:15.367-04:002010-07-13T08:36:15.367-04:00Writers seem to share a herd mentality.

You must blog, and there are now a zillion blogs (who could possibly read them all?). Book trailers are hot, so make one, or one for each book, or one for your cat. You must join Myspace/Facebook/Twitter, and then friend everybody in the universe.

I and the Bird is a well known one for birders. The Festival of the Trees is a blog carnival all about trees. I've looked around for blog carnivals about writing, but I haven't really found any, other than several that died out years ago.Paulhttp://www.paullamb.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
