I am continually amazed and thrilled to see what comes of activities such as networking and conducting research. This week a SPAWN member shared something in the SPAWN discussion group that I haven\u2019t heard of before\u2014blog carnivals. <\/p>\n
Evidently, these are sites where they list collections of blogs on various topics. You can go to the site, click on your topic of choice and view blog posts on these subjects. You can also submit posts from your blog to share with others who are interested in writing, book promotion, eldercare, health, income, pets, household DIY projects and much, much more. It\u2019s sort of like a blog community. Here is a place to start your tour of blog carnivals: http:\/\/blogcarnival.com<\/a><\/p>\n Also, if you like to get out and talk to your audience, I suggest that you start checking out conferences in your book\u2019s topic. The organizers for those being held throughout the country in late winter and early spring are firming up their programs now. Directors of those presented in summer and fall are beginning the search for speakers. Use http:\/\/www.allconferences.com<\/a> and http:\/\/shawguides.com<\/a> <\/p>\n In the meantime, if you belong to an authors group or organization, participate in the discussion groups and forums. Read the newsletters. Attend meetings. This is how you learn and grow. <\/p>\n http:\/\/www.patriciafry.com<\/a>
