I have spotlighted others great achievements many times in the past. I don't belong to any blog cliques like I often see and have gotten over when I see falling stats, or that no one mentions me because that sounds so third grade. I am happy where I am at right now as a hobby writer.

I'll ...Well, that comment was a negative Nelly! I'll cut it to: Seems blogs now are inundated with nothing but advertising for self/indie pubbed novels, and "how to" for self publishing. Its all getting too much for me as I can't buy every book out there for sale from my author friends, and I don't have the time to read/review everything I buy.<br /><br />I do try to be kind - when I post or comment though. The writing world is not an easy place to navigate.<br /><br />dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-91691807744855327332014-05-29T18:03:16.258-04:002014-05-29T18:03:16.258-04:00Excellent advice, Alex!

I write for several marketing firms and we're constantly writing "how to promote your business" articles geared toward SMBs. It's all about content. An occasional marketing tweet or blog is great, but what authors (and businesses) MUST focus on is creating good content that leads readers and other social media users to say, "What is it she's selling?" and look for more information about it. If it's all marketing, people will likely just tune it out. Nobody likes being blatantly marketed to.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-46132042059665680392014-05-28T11:14:33.793-04:002014-05-28T11:14:33.793-04:00Wise words from the King I mean Captain of Cinnamo...Wise words from the King I mean Captain of Cinnamon-Hot Tamales~<br /><br />I do hope to change my ways-those teens held me captive and made me shop, create and cook for them-augh!<br /><br />Thank you Alex!Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070952447277684613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-44325837853322181912014-05-28T10:46:57.612-04:002014-05-28T10:46:57.612-04:00Thanks for the hot tamales :)Thanks for the hot tamales :)Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-12339628479907959942014-05-28T08:20:00.159-04:002014-05-28T08:20:00.159-04:00I'm not the king? *pouts* Love what you said a...I'm not the king? *pouts* Love what you said about not being a constant ad for our books.
