That time of the month again, although now we have help in the house, and the garden, from the wonderful Age UK people, life is easier and I can concentrate on finishing
River Dark at long last. So improvement all round! So feeling a little more secure.
Another first, my husband used his mobility scooter, not the one that goes into the boot of the car and is very flimsy, but the new one that is very substantial for road work. Rather like a small car, but without the roof, flashing indicators, mirrors, reversing lights, great fun.
He managed to reach town, a mile and an half away, and drive round the open air market in our medieval town. The vehicle even has a small boot... now what can I send him out to purchase for me whilst I have extra writing time!
The awesome co-hosts for the December 3 posting of the IWSG will be T. Drecker from Kidbits, Eva E. Solar at Lilicasplace, and Patsy Collins!
"To Blog or Not to Blog...Is Anyone Reading?"
by Donna McDine
With another year coming to a rapid end and reflecting on 2014 and that I've been blogging since 2007, it's mind-boggling to me seven years have flown by since my first blog post and three months since I've joined #IWSG. Yikes, where has the time gone!
From early on in my writing career I have read about the importance of building one's platform through various methods with blogging being an essential part of those efforts. The central focus of my blog is the children's publishing world, whether it be about my journey or that of my colleagues.
Overall, I am Snoopy dance pleased with my traffic stats...averaging 475-625
visitors per day, but I'm always disappointed on the lack of comments.
I am in awe of fellow bloggers who achieve high comment numbers and often wonder how they do it.
I know one of the key parts is commenting on other blogs, which I need to get back into the groove of doing. As of late, I've been focusing more on my W-I-P than surfing blogs and commenting. It's definitely a balance I'm striving for, but without finishing my W-I-P what's the point of blogging in the first place?
If you visited and read this far, I'd like your advice on how to engage and promote one's blog.
Be sure to leave your blog URL so I can visit and comment at your blog.
Thanks a bunch for visiting and hopefully commenting.
