Just a few quick things.
For a while I have been toying with the idea of reusing some of my early posts. I did some good stuff in my early days. Unfortunately there was no one around to see it. That is the funny thing about doing a blog. You have to be fairly clever to get people to notice you. But hardly anybody bothers to go back and dig through people’s old posts. And my blog is not easy to navigate. So I decided there is no harm in recycling some of the better posts. If you have an opinion on this subject, please let me know.
I have been slowing down on posting new chapters of the novel. And I have added little thumbnail pictures of the aliens to the character and race notes to help you keep track of all the characters. I hope this helps.
I know I am throwing a lot of words at you with this novel. Just please remember that every comment can help me convince a publisher that it is worth their while to take a chance on publishing the book. And isn’t that what most of us bloggers want? To get something out there for people to see? So even if you aren’t reading the dang book, open a chapter, and type something in the comments. It doesn’t have to be clever. It doesn’t even have to be true. Look at it this way. If I get it published, I won’t have to keep bugging you about it here. I can go back to doing funny pictures of Dick Cheney and ninjas and stuff.
Pouring My Art Out 
There’s no harm in reusing old posts. I wouldn’t say they’re old though because people like to be trendy.
Comments on a blog unless they are staggering in numbers will not convince a publisher to do anything. Let the story do that. And be willing to sell your soul. I hear that always gets a big wig to do something for ya.
I’ll sell it. What could it be worth, really?
Tammy’s on to something there…you could periodically do a “Best of ” and pick a month from your older stuff and use that month in the title. That way you will be able to share the ‘good stuff’ that you are wanting to post again without it being considered just being lazy and those readers who have seen it already will be forewarned while the newbies will have a chance to be entertained and just might be interested enough to go trolling backwards in time to read more.
Brilliant.
I always feel bad I did such good stuff early on .. Maybe I’ll do a week of best of as I hit end of year
Retro week.
there you go..we both have a goal now.. ;D
Wow, I never had one of those before.
Enjoy it, might be your last after you learn about the work that goes with it…. LOL
Nobody said nothin’ about no work…
I may be a complete idiot, but where is the book? And repost please, some of us are newbies.
At the very top of the main page, there are about four header title bars. The one that says ‘saloon at the edge of everywhere’ is the novel. The race and character notes are there also, under the one called something like that. When I post a new chapter… two a week, they show up on the main page, but all the chapters are there, in descending reverse order under the header if you click on the header bar, so you can read uninteruppted. Also, clicking on any chapter will cause me to fall violently in love with you and be your friend for ever and ever.
I suppose you can just keep scrolling down the main page and hitting the ‘show more posts’ button at the bottom, and you will not only see the book but a lot of really strange stuff as well
Thanks.
All right, I’m on it, thanks for the direction. It’s amazing how many people fall in love with me randomly actually. Bit of an inconvenience at times.
Well… I didn’t mean it in a gay way…(not that there is anything wrong with that)… but I do not just go around falling in love with people… unless they read my novel… then all bets are off.
Damn, there goes my buzz. Just kidding. I will read, and if I discover a homoerotic masterpiece, I will look back upon this conversation with great amusement.
Well, there is an alien with a huge penis growing out of the top of his head, but that is about it.
Hooked.
That is funny. Because just a week or so ago I found a picture of a real fish that has a penis growing out of his chin…(I posted it, of course I did)… and his junk has barbs and hooks on it.
Funny on more than one level…
Come on! I have to look that up now.
It is down there. Even got an x-ray picture.
Saw it. I can see the pluses. Some minuses too. Only in Vietnam, I tell you.
I would not want to be the female of that species. But it just tied in so well with my alien character.
