I'd say less providence and more "great minds think alike" :-). In either case, I'll take it.<br /><br />@Elizabeth - Thank you! I've read the non-writer "rule" too, but most writers were first and foremost readers. I think the best bet is to strike a healthy balance. It's a delicate line to walk, but conversing with writers helps me learn and grow, which, in turn, is good for readers. On the flip side, you don't want to be so abstract that your readers are lost either. So far, I've been pleased with how it's worked out here on my site, and a lot of that is due to ROW80.<br /><br />I will have to stop over at Cate's later (it is blocked at work, sadly. IT trolls no likey LJ). <br /><br />I'll look forward to your review and thanks so much for taking a chance on me! :-)Matthttp://www.hofferthbooks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-87656691604842720122011-09-08T07:24:40.626-04:002011-09-08T07:24:40.626-04:00Found it.

I know I read somewhere in my ROW80 sponsor travels that someone else is facing the same concerns as Nadja, so I'm off to send them to this post.<br /><br />BTW, I know there's all that talk about reaching non-writer audiences, but I'm one of your August sales. I'm not very far, but I'm hooked; it's on my list of reviews to write when I'm done.<br /><br />Have a great week!Elizabeth Mitchellhttp://www.lapidaryprose.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-55722262469796841042011-09-07T18:19:32.360-04:002011-09-07T18:19:32.360-04:00Matt ~ I don't know if you have a weird ESP gi...Matt ~ I don't know if you have a weird ESP gift - or if 'providence' just led you to post exactly what I needed to read. Whatevs....I'll take it. Thanks.<br />I've been very concerned over promoting. Sure, I want to promote my novel, but I don't want to get so much into promoting it that I lose sight of my original goal - which is to write. Reading that other authors go through the same 'y's' in the road reminded me that the sky won't fall if I don't have a blog tour set up by next month. Ha! <br />I'm off to sit down and write. (that is..after I go get milk, pack school lunches, ensure that two little boys get showered without soaking my bathroom floor, and pay the cell phone bill.) Is it bedtime yet? lol ~ NadjaNadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.com
