What did you blog about today?

Yes, agree with that too. When first on there I couldn't understand how people had over 100K followers AND people they were following. Sounds crackers. I find it tricky to keep up with 50 or so people/magazines/publishers I'm following. Though I do get people adding me to lists for various things, to do with crime writing or writing tips etc who don't know me at all.
 
I think some use lists. That's largely what I do now (the excellent @P_Davs/Chrons on Twitter isn't mine, but I do have a couple, one for SFF not covered by that list and another for F1).

I keep meaning to cull my follow list, but never get around to it.
 
Nice blog, Thad (although I'd argue even a 75 word story needs a beginning, middle and end - it's why the challenges are so useful for that discipline, I think).

I blogged about the editorial relationship I have with @Teresa Edgerton and @TheDustyZebra and how it means I can stop worrying so much. Sort of. Mostly.

Juliana, I loved the quote 'When I mentally shifted from writing as an adult to writing for young people, my writing changed.' Great interview!

My wife loves to say that she will always be a teenager at heart, and she reads a lot of YA, so there it is. And of course, it must have romance in it...

I am blown away by the number of MG and YA books out there these days. When I really started reading as a teen, I started with Feist, and I honestly don't recall seeing books for teens out there. I read Eddings, Brooks, Feist, and they sort of fit the bill, but I always say how lucky kids are these days for books. I mean, Brandon Sanderson writes YA! What a world we live in :)

Yeah, I always say I'm about 12 years old inside... :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Ratsy, and yes, there are definitely a lot more options for kids and teens nowadays. I'd have a loved a lot of these series when I was growing up! (And Brandon's The Rythmatist is fabulous!)
 
That book is awesome. Such a cool concept! I always get that feeling from his stuff, that I want to see more of it, like we are just scratching the surface.

I'm pretty sure I have a signed copy of that and Mistborn!
 
Good one Jo. I think I would love to run Woodbridge and write as a full-time combo at some point. It is interesting seeing peoples answers.
 
I honestly can't remember (was a couple of years ago). Think I got some sales out of it.

Sir Edric's tricky to have in short spurts because he's actually a fairly complicated character rather than falling neatly into a cowardly/heroic box.
 
Agree with you on how the block colours stand out Juliana. I think the font choice is also important when all you have is the width of a spine to play with. That said, a canny designer can do lots with it.

All the things, all the things! Half term - school holidays always throws the routine. To top it off the battery on my laptop is fading. That or Samaritan is behind the Windows Ten update and is holding my power ransom until I allow the update...

Not giving up that easily.

Did a little bit of blog sorting today, along with some thoughts on a local genre meetup. It'll be the start of a theme of posts. A(nother) new project.
