		<description><![CDATA[16ae0352f1I needed to send you this very small word to fainlly say thanks as before regarding the pleasing tactics you have contributed at this time. It was really remarkably open-handed of you to make extensively what exactly a number of people would have made available as an e book to end up making some bucks on their own, principally considering the fact that you might well have tried it if you considered necessary. These techniques as well acted to become fantastic way to recognize that some people have a similar passion like my personal own to know the truth very much more when considering this matter. I&#039;m certain there are several more fun sessions up front for those who start reading your site. 155]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t write many comments, but i did a few searching and wound up here Is blogging worth it? &#124; Dystel &amp; Goderich Literary Management. And I do have a few questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be simply me or does it look like some of the comments look like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other places, I&#039;d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your shared sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think people-- including John Locke  --are missing the fact that writers tend to be voracious readers and there are a lot of readers who are aspiring authors. I don&#039;t have a problem at all with authors who blog about writing and think it&#039;s wise for an author to do so from time to time.

It could be a problem if that&#039;s ALL an author blogged about.

Locke&#039;s approach is an important one that I think authors should adapt, but I also think that approach misses some facets.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You hit the nail on the head, but I have a thick head. I love writing about writing as much as I love writing fiction. It is the educator in me. While my blog is about the craft and business of writing, I use other blogs and resources to reach my reading audience. I think it is important to do both. Despite who your audience is, this might help build your readership: http://whisperedwritings.wordpress.com/2011/08/07/10-ways-to-grow-a-blog/]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael,

Great post as always. One thing to remember is that writers are not only voracious readers. They are also big book recommenders. Most writers I know have a big group of people they suggest books to. Also, lots of readers are closet writers. They are interested in the world of writers. In my case, since I write to a MG audience, it would be tough to write a blog that would interest the kids who read my books. But if I can write posts that are of interest to writers, readers, librarians, teachers, etc. I am targeting the parents who will be buying books for their kids. 

It&#039;s also a lot easier to use your blog, Twitter, etc as a means of keeping the snowball of readers growing and rolling then to create the snowball in the first place. many of the blogs I read regularly are the authors I already enjoy.]]></description>
