Heidi M. Thomas commented on the blog post 'How to finish the damn thing.'
"Excellent post. That's what I try to teach students and editing clients: keep pulling the rug out from under your character, keep challenging him/her, be mean! (It's hard to do, BTW, and something I have to keep challenging myself to do.)"

"Re Judith: <I have an idea. Why don't we do guest author interviews on each others blogs or websites? That way, we can cross-pollinate our marketing efforts. What do you think?>
I think that is a good idea. I do author…"

"I don't spend as much time on Goodreads as I should, I suppose. I've been told that's where the readers are, so we authors are not "preaching to the choir." It does take a lot of time to network, but often it does pay off!"

"Kudos to all of you for your accomplishments! And Happy Thanksgiving to all!"

"Oh my goodness! I'm just a novice on Twitter. I'm probably not going to be able capitalize on the strategy, then. But I can try. I will try, and see where the Twitter craze takes me.
And yes. I'll admit…"

"Thanks, Regina. It seems like if you're not on Amazon, you don't exist--that's where most everybody goes first. Yes, I've wondered what Amanda's "secret" is--I read that she's a compulsive tweeter, but...??"

Kathy Jordan said… - Hi Heidi, as a follow up, I just created a group called October 2010 Book Release Group. When you get a minute, could you please post your book's name, genre, and publication date? Then I'll know which authors I need to follow up with when!

- Heidi, how exciting that your book is almost ready for the world! I will keep you on my list for October. We will be setting a routine time each month, say second Tuesday of each month, and should have that decided after we do our inaugural book party on Twitter next Tuesday. Hope you can join the festivities then. In any case, I've put together author guidelines that should be going up on the She Writes site. I can also send them to you at the latest a few weeks before the October event (we may be tweaking those guidelines based on what we learn from our first event next week. Best-k
