I’ve not had a problem in the past with my dialogue, my problem was with the tagging. I still catch myself using them when i don’t need too. This was a good blog…informative.

Comment on What Everyone Really Thinks in Publishing by Marvin Ferguson

I self published two books. Currently one of them is an ebook and available on Amazon. The other one is being edited and a revised edition of this book will be available some time in March 2012 on Amazon as an ebook. . I have a third book completed and am currently waiting for a response from a traditional publisher. If I don’t hear from them soon, I am considering it as another self published project and put it on Amazon ebooks in the fall (2012). My ebook titled “The Unknown Baseball Player” has does better on Amazon than on any other venue I tried in the past.

Hi Ron. Thank you so much for your blogs. It helps us that are learning to see encouragement from others. I read a lot of info each day and I get an uplift from yours. I’m not sure where I will go with my books, but the experience of having finished three is a sense of accomplishment. Thanks again for taking the time to care about us little guys out here.

I read this in your book on Smashwords, it is excellent advice as Selena says above. I changed my blog this year to a) reflect more of myself and my interests as well as writing and b) to follow Ron’s advice and post interesting articles to inform the reader so they take something away from the blog to think about.

Secondly, I asked Ron a question on Facebook months ago. No idea what the question was, but what I remember is that Ron bothered to reply personally to me. That proves his point.

Excellent advice and blog.
I especially agree with these two points:
~ A blog helping others is more powerful than advertising about yourself.
This is what I try to do with my blog, because let’s face it, one can only talk about themselves until they can bore their own self. LOL I also love blogs that offer tips on different subjects, so if I like it, that means I would write what I like.

~ Sending a bulk email to announce your book is SPAM. Having a discussion with everyone on your email list before the book is released is GOLD.
This is a big pet peeve of mine, especially from new authors who assume I want to read their book and review it, by not only spamming my inbox with their advertisements, but attaching their book without my permission.
I’m all for helping other writers, I think it’s vital we support each other, but it needs to be done professionally and in good taste without being intrusive.

Comment on Ten Best Author Investments by Suzanne Williams

Loved your point about reading more than writing. I didn’t get into writing until as an adult and was an avid reader all through my teens, twenties, and thirties. I feel like that laid a much better foundation for my writing style.
