I really needed a good giggle! <br /><br />Seriously, you gave a wonderful example of promotion by coming up with an enticing blog title and then connecting to the reader with humor in the post! <br /><br />Readers who enjoy what we write and who feel that sort of connection are much more likely to turn into fans and buy our books!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957568844802845667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360784031875264514.post-72856140003819885912011-10-02T22:36:13.072-04:002011-10-02T22:36:13.072-04:00@Caroline Clemmons

I haven't written, I mean really written, it seems in months!<br /><br />Like the kids when they're ignored, my characters are pouting!<br /><br />Do we dare look into a virtual assistant? You know, someone who can take the burden of these tasks off our shoulders so we can get on with the writing?<br /><br />Today, the thought is very appealing. I'm not certain how financial feasible, but definitely attractive.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and sharing.<br /><br />...

There are probably other things, but I can't remember others except the social media. Lawsy, it never ends, does it? All I really want to do is write!
