What did you blog about today?

[Ursa major]

Proof that Twitter isn't completely useless: I missed this thread, but received** J-WO's tweet about your lovely guest post. (Okay, I'd have seen your guest post anyway, because I visit Spool Pidgin every day or two, but even so....)


** - As email, that is. I only rarely log into Twitter.

Yay for twitter!

I'm going to apologise in advance. I have loads of stuff coming out over the next week or two in various places on various blogs so I'll be flooding this thread a little. It is short term in the run up to launch so I hope you'll all forgive me, but this thread (and twitter and fbook) provides consistent hits on my blog, so I don't want to miss it out. I promise to sit down, be quiet and behave in April. (when it looks like I'll be a busy writing bunny anyway.)

How could we not "forgive" you? There is no use us all wishing you success while begrudging your various necessary actions designed to achieve it.

(Having said that, all I need to know is where and when to best download the ebook version of Abendau's Heir.)

You're fab, and lovely. Um, I'll tag @Gary Compton - he'd be better placed to confirm all than me.

Oh, and I'll link while I'm here - this was for Absolute Write's March blog chain. It was about Ireland. How could I resist?

You're a blogging machine, @springs! If I had a blog, I'd hire you to ghost-write.

Well, if I'm ever stuck for cash...

Yes, i know, loads. But I talk lots

Ursa. Ebook and paperback will be going up for pre-order on Amazon next week. Or available for 1 day only on 30th on the TBP website. (Amazon have stupid rules I have to follow so one day only.)

Hope that helps

Hope that helps

It does indeed.

So. For some odd reason I end up in Northern Ireland, in a different reality. This weeks blog involves Minecraft, writing, burning things, culture and ... thinking outside the box. Make your story accessible. http://www.millymollymo.com/burning-temples-culture-and-accessibility/

 

[Jo Zebedee]

It's been a funny event, all right. Some have hated it, and called the event satanic (but it's Norm Iron, we love our satanic guilt), most have been moved by it. It has certainly reached out.

 

[millymollymo]

There are always haters for such things, the Nevada Burning Man rituals have a similar love/hate discourse around it. I've seen a few projects here that are called down as a waste of money, they don't stop hating until they see the post event figures. I think anything that engages with people who would not normally sought 'that' out has to be considered a success. Regardless of format. Books are only one way of getting a story out there.
