You announce you have a new cover or book release, and everyone steps forward to help you promote it. You can't get that anywhere else online, I've found!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166508848446886999.post-6666635205181668452014-06-07T00:24:05.317-07:002014-06-07T00:24:05.317-07:00Ha ha, Candilynn, you're a girl after my own h...Ha ha, Candilynn, you're a girl after my own heart. I love to blog for me too.

I'm no expert on blogging. It takes me days to reply to comments, I only post once a month or whenever I feel like it. I don't follow rules or stay on a schedule, which irritates some people. But my blog is for me. To express myself. Journal as I travel this writerly path I'm on. Social media is great, but it can also bog me down as a writer. For the first three years, I spent so much time blogging and hanging out on social media sites, I wasn't writing! For me, it defeated the purpose of why I began in the first place. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, blogging is a wonderful way to communicate with others. The IWSG is one of the best out there! I've met and remained friends with so many here. I often think what would I have done four years ago when rejections began rolling in? Without the support from members of IWSG, I would've probably cratered. <br /><br />I think the key is decide how blogging benefits you as a writer. It seems from your list above, it's been successful in so many ways. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691497935668743387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166508848446886999.post-55113107215068764222014-06-05T22:06:53.552-07:002014-06-05T22:06:53.552-07:00l wasn't prepared for the blogging experience ...l wasn't prepared for the blogging experience either.
