I read a LOT of writing industry articles, newsletters, e-zines and the like. Right now, they are all saying the same thing...it's all about the blog. Internet marketing is all the rage. It's viral, and if we (authors) don't jump in on it, then we'll miss the boat.
It's tough to say whether or not the boat has already left the dock. There are millions upon millions of blogs out there. One would think our singular voice can't be heard among the cacophony (sp?) of others out there all shouting to be heard in cyberspace. The chances of someone reading my blog is about the same chance of finding that four-leaf clover, or the proverbial needle in the haystack.
But that is my naturally born pessimism talking -- thank's to my dad, this way of thinking comes all to easily for me.
Although it takes more effort, I can think more optimistically. I liken this to playing the lottery. Sure, chances are about the same, but I like the common slogan...."you can't win if you don't play."
So I'll post. I'll post here (which I just discovered minutes ago that I had blog space) and I'll post on my other blogs, and hope I get the right combination.
