I had debated it earlier during Round 3, but until I got my pen name all squared away, I didn't want to print anything up. Before I go to my first writing conference, I'll be sure to have a set in hand. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you in Round 4!Lena Corazonhttp://lenacorazon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-83678848603495845032011-09-23T10:05:00.963-04:002011-09-23T10:05:00.963-04:00Thanks.
Here's something... on our first roun...Thanks.<br /><br />Here's something... on our first round of business cards, I didn't really want my name. One of my "principles" (I guess you could say) is that I want early focus to be on my books, not me. I'm not famous, nor do I believe there is anything inherently exciting about me. My books, however, I hope are special. Thus, I don't even have my name on our first round of cards. I have a zoomed in section of the book cover, the title, and my website. That's it.<br /><br />As I get more books, it'll probably be smart to include my name, but really that can be a minor point. I don't think of them so much as business cards in the sense that dudes with suitcases glued to their hands use them, but as little, mini, portable, pocket-sized ads.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496367364680009076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-40544788987666032882011-09-23T10:01:21.650-04:002011-09-23T10:01:21.650-04:00Great job in Round 3, Matt!
I think that's go...Great job in Round 3, Matt!<br /><br />I think that's good advice about business cards. I've waffled back and forth on that idea, since I use a pen name and probably wouldn't give them to a lot of people I know in real life. LOL<br /><br />See you in Round 4!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-59602470781818337062011-09-23T01:51:57.865-04:002011-09-23T01:51:57.865-04:00awesome work count Matt.

Slow and steady is just sort of how it flows for me. So, I guess what I'm saying is that it comes naturally, which is nice, though there are always "work days." And, as the word count proves, it all adds up.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to Round 4 as well! :-)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496367364680009076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861802527677757801.post-89373123936509542032011-09-22T12:15:34.045-04:002011-09-22T12:15:34.045-04:00Good golly, Miss Molly!

I will so try to resist not feeling bad about my word counts, I will, I will, LOL! <br /><br />Fantastic work toward goals, Matt, especially given the whole "yes, I have another life," thing.<br /><br />Great hints--business cards, d'oh! and I especially agree with the long slow burns.

Apparently I jumped the gun and we have another day, but I'll use tonight to celebrate finishing the round (and, thus, not affect my word counts :-D).Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496367364680009076noreply@blogger.com
