I'll be honest...I'm not the best blogger in the world. In fact, truth be known, I hate blogging. Every time I sit down at my computer to blog, a wave of frustration rushes over me. I stare at the blank screen, growing more and more edgy and irritated.
What should I write? I mumble to myself.
Here's the problem: I don't think my daily life is all that entertaining to think that anyone would want to engage in reading about it on a regular basis. I realize blogging is all part of marketing-my-books, and that readers want to feel like they
know the author better; but it seems like a waste of valuable novel-writing time, doesn't it? Wouldn't readers rather I finish the next novel than know that I got up this morning at 6:30am, took the kids to school, threw in a load of laundry and re-heated my coffee five times because I kept setting it down and walking away? Are my personal hygiene routines really blog-worthy or is it good enough to assume I shave my legs, color the gray from my hair and pluck my eyebrows, and leave it at that?
Since I am in the process of writing two novels and one short story, and can't come up with good blogging ideas, I'm going to leave the blog topics to my readers. Tell me what you'd like to know and I promise, unless it gives away a plot from one of my novels, I will blog about it and do my very best to answer your question.
