I've been browsing your blog. You said ...Hello! I've been browsing your blog. You said you wanted readers to drop a line, so... hey! Name's Alyssa. I found you by googling "I just finished my novel." Good luck on your writing and editing!<br /><br />You mention in another entry how social networking feels like work to you. I understand the feeling--it's the reason I don't do twitter, I keep my facebook private, and I quit my blog after only the first week. Eventually I realized that I could use my blog for the same thing I use writing for--to share my ideas with people. When I stopped looking at it as a platform for networking and started thinking of it as a chance to talk about issues I care about, I found I enjoy keeping the blog.<br /><br />As for the stealing of fanbases--I like to think that my link will be followed by the writer of the blog I'm commenting on. I guess I'm more interested in connecting with other writers than building a fanbase for myself. A fanbase can't really further your craft (though it certainly can further your career) but writer friends can do both.<br /><br />Anyway, you haven't made a post since last year, so maybe you won't ever get this. Oh well. If you do read it, I hope it helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
