So a friend of mine remarked that it was beyond weird that I didn't have a blog. Why you ask? Because I am writing my first book. Apparently being a writer means having a blog so that you can build a fan base.
Whoa! News to me. I mean I read heaps of writers blogs, it just never occurred to me to have one. But it sort of makes sense to me now and it also means I know get why people have certain questions they ask about my book, as follows:
1. What's your book about?
2. How long have you been writing it?
3. Can I read some (like, yeah right!)
4. Do you have a blog?
Then comes the inevitable, so when you sell it can you send me a free copy? Ah newsflash people. The idea is for you to BUY my book so that I actually make money off of it? So unless you are my Mum or my boyfriend (who actually will probably make me read it to him) your going to be paying for it. And you will buy my book. If I ever finish the thing.
So to answer those questions for those that don't know.
1. It's a paranormal romance (no that doesn't mean ghosts)
2. Too long
3. NO!
4. Now I do. ^_^
So I'm going to try my hand at the blogging thing, and if you are going to leave comments (read: please leave comments) be gentle? I'm new to this thing. It actually takes a lot to wrap my head around the idea that someone will be reading everything I have written pretty much straight after I have written it. I have been keeping my book private for so long.
Until we meet again
