"Cool Karen...I'll definitely check it out. My current short piece is an article OpEd/expose type of article (nonfiction) but I have some short works started. Thank you for this writer opportunity since advertising is the key link often missing…"

"Dawn has now cracked! Brain was formulating scenes so I had to put it down on "paper" before the thoughts disappeared forever - unfortunately it was only 5:30 in the morning...wishing everyone an inspired writing day!"

""It's been a pot-holed, curvy, shadowed, dappled, thirsty, dusty, downhill, uphill, drenched and dripping, romantic, sugary sweet, sleepy, angst-ridden, insomniac, bull-riding triumphant road! And it took me twenty years to walk it, baby!…"

"Thanks for the check in! It's being organized all over my wall. I discovered writing mystery involves so many elements and key points I had to create a wall chart to keep it honest! And your work?"
Melissa Ackerman commented on the blog post 'R U Still Sad?'
"Wow...thought provoking...I guess I'm a student of those lost and changed dreams since life happens in great sweeps of anger, happiness, excitement, boredom, and breaking and keeping promises. We are only just now as a society beginning to look…"

Thanks for friending me! NaNo got me started too - I was blogging beforehand, and had written short stories but I never, EVER, thought I would be able to write a novel! Right now I am avoiding beginning the revision of said novel by…"
Melissa Ackerman commented on the blog post 'Le Petite Gateau'
"Oh, another thought is the project...Jesus Project or Living Jesus (date) in 2010...kind of clinical...still working - Druid quotes were too brutal. With Grace you get Eggroll...Living Light and Love in 2010...nah...still working."

Hoping to get back to work on the sequel soon. If you have found any good organizational tips, do share -- I'm always curious about other people's methods. When I was going through my book the final time before shopping it, I had all these columns on a pad for chronology, clothing, weather, etc. trying to find inconsistencies. So stressful!

In answer to your question, yes, you should definitely create a blog and post to it regularly. I post once a week and I "advertise" my posts on several sites including She Writes. For example, this week I'm interviewing author…"
