Well obviously I know some of you, assuming that my legions of followers are going to read this too. But if you just happen to see this post on one of the many WordPress walls I am going to tag it for, just give me a few minutes of your time.
My one year anniversary of this blog is coming up on the 30th of December. It is like my blog’s birthday, so to speak.
I would like to get 30,000 views in time for the party.
(No, not 30,000 new hits… that would be asking to much of you, and we just met… I am already at 29,208 views, I just need help bumping the number over the edge)…
Now I know what you are thinking. That I am a shameless blog ho. And you are absolutely right. But there is a reason for this self-prostitution. I am getting ready to try to get my hilarious sci-fi novel published… (You can read about a third of it posted under the button at the top of the page called ‘Saloon at the Edge of Everywhere… a novel’)… And I have been told that having a reasonably succesful blog is a good selling point when you go to publishers as a new writer.
So all I am asking is that you visit my blog… as many times as you have time for. I don’t even care if you read anything… although if you poke around I think you will find lots of stuff to amuse you… Just click on stuff. Then go away and come back again later and click on some more stuff. Scroll down, hit some like buttons. I’m not asking for an emotional commitment. I know you are busy. But we are all writers here, more or less, and we all have dreams. And mine is to get published.
If you take this task upon yourself, leave me a comment somewhere saying that you did it. And when I get my book made into a movie, I will go back and look at those comments and try to get all of you tickets to the premier. Maybe you will get to meet Brad Pitt or whoever plays the hero in the movie.
So what do you have to lose??
Pouring My Art Out 
Best of luck with the book! I’m on the same road.
Good luck to you as well, and thanks.
You look like a friendly face. I’ve certainly seen it around enough.
Tell you what, I’ll spend the entire day at my government job clicking post after post. It will be even better knowing taxpayers will help get you where you want to be!
By the end of the day, we’ll be like brothers!
We are going to be pals, I can just tell.
Buckle up, new pal!
I got my parachute on too.
I also think I’m the only person on WordPress who didn’t acknowledge her 1 year blogaversary. Sigh. It was in June. I just let it roll right on by and didn’t tell anyone.
You are just a shy wallflower.
Yay! I’ll be your pimpalicious pimp mama!
Do you want to know what’s sad? I don’t know what my blog view numbers are. I never look. Maybe I will today…maybe.
I bet they are huge… I mean your stats, pineapple head…
To summarize this post, “Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here’s my number (29,208), so raise it maybe” 🙂
I don’t mind a little blog self-prostitution if it’s for a noble cause, like getting a book published. So I clicked on 30-40 posts or so.
I love you man…
Thank you, but I hope it’s not because I know the lyrics to “Call me maybe” 🙂
I am not that shallow.
It’s at 29,344 so it must have worked a little.
Start posting ads on Craigslist with a link to your blog. I’ve done it before and it does jump some hits up there. Say something like you’re looking for similar bloggers. Post all over the country too.
Or you could always write nice things about other bloggers and in turn they will probably plug it for you. I still say Craigslist is less evil than being nice on a blog.
I am willing to try anything short of full frontal nudity…
Hmmmm…not too sure exposing your family by putting an ad for your blog on Craigslist would be a good idea…if the blog was only about you that would be different…or if there were no creeps on Craigslist…give it a good think first and pass the idea by the other half to see what she thinks…
I wouldn’t really do that. But I am open to ideas to get my name out there.
Did you hear my song yet?
yes I did…loved the guitar part especially…you do apparently have gifted fingers…lol
I have many gifted apendages. Thanks.
Brad Pitt?? ugh!
There will be other stars. Do you like my new song I just posted?
umm…
ummmm what?
haven’t listened to it. i tend to do the video thing on here.
On here where???
on blogs. 🙂
Oh… isn’t that where we are?
eh?
I am already lost and this conversation just started.
now i forget too…lol
It was about my new song, I know that.
did you write it? if so i’ll go listen
I wrote it, stared in it, sang it, played it, did the pictures and the typing, and got it on the blog.
impressive, i guess i shall have a gander
I will try not to goose you… ha.
aha
hah
so how’s your mouth?
As good as ever.
oh no, no more quiet!
It didn’t stop me from typing.
how are your fingers doing, do they have issues…i think they do but with rest will be fine… 😉
My fingers have no problems whatsoever…
damn…i mean good
Why you want my fingers to be messed?
well a little peace and quiet of course
Oh… I get it. I will try to type more quietly…
pft
Shhhh… you are trying to sleep…
besides that middle one is not nice 😉
It stands up when a lady enters the room… ha!
See, look… I can stick the middle one up all by itself… ha!!!
figures!
It is an important conversational tool…
i mean yay!
Yeah, right.
I’ll love to be in your movie dude! Happy anniversary!!!
If that picture is really you, I can see you as Candybar Venezuela, one of the main characters.
Wow! Candybar I’ll be! Hope you’ll pay me in millions-:)
That and you will be a huge movie star. That ought to be worth the time you spent.
Great!!
Just remember the little people after your rise to fame.
I will, who’s the lead actor? Daniel Craig?
He would be perfect if he put on a few pounds and can act sarcastic and irresponsible.
We need them to play some of the smaller aliens… ha!
What?
The little people… it was a dwarf joke… in possibly poor taste…
Clicked, and clicked
Yay. My shamelessness pays off once again. It is okay to sell yourself, just not cheaply.
Well, my one year BV is at the end of Feb. You can come view me a bunch of times…
I always pay my debts… to people and society… and stores, and stuff.
Wow amazingly shameless. I LOVE IT 🙂
I can’t afford shame. I needs to get me published. Then I will pay people to feel shame for me!
LOL! You can pay people to feel all your emotions!
Not the good ones. That would just be silly. Only guilt and pain and hate and fear and loathing and jealousy. I am going to do the love, like, joy, happiness, wonder, excitement, gratitude and awe myself. I am liking this plan more and more.
I’m all over it!….I hope you find time however between meeting with Hollywood execs and dating Taylor Swift eventually to pop on over to my blog and shower me praise. I just joined last week here so please be gentle yet firm. ….http://fitzfocus.wordpress.com
I am not one of those who asks favors without any payback. Plus you get the free movie tickets, so…
I am here for you Blog Ho. Happy anniversary!
You are the very first… you get to sit right next to Brad Pitt. Heck, maybe I will try to get them to put you in the movie. Thanks so much.
