51 Ways to Blog as a Novelist
We all know that blogging is one of the best ways to get attention in today's Internet world. A blog is a godsend to your website, bringing it traffic, fans, and more. But you have to post regularly.
Stuck for what to blog about? Here are some tips for novelists, but the same tips can apply to writers of nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, business books, and more.
- Review other novels, especially from other lesser-known novelists.
- Write a blog post using the voice of one of your main characters.
- Have that main character tell some side stories not included in the novel.
- Write about the setting - time and/or place. Use some of the research you did to ensure that your novel was accurate.
- Invite your readers to review your book. Feature their testimonials on your blog.
- Interview some of your readers: via Q&A text or via an Internet radio show or via a teleseminar.
- Podcast your book, one section at a time.
- Write about trends in your genre.
- Write about your favorite novelists, especially those that write in your genre. Include their photos and a sampling of their books.

I'm new to this group . . . I'm thinking (something I occasionally do) . . . don't wanna post something trite, naive or repetitive and start out as a bore (hopefully I won't finish that way) . . . Question: anybody out there have any luck reaching a credible studio, agent or star with a screenplay adaption of their novel? (I almost got through to Denzel but was shot down by his agency's legal department, even though it was right for him, and for his former football player son James) . . . random thoughts flowing but I'm going golfing in a little bit (Tiger or Funk I'm not) and I'll buzz off 'til later. Best, Jack
