…I make no secret of the fact that I enjoy blogging… it’s a great offset to the hard crime fiction in my Jack Calder crime thriller series… in the blog I can ‘mess around’ with content… get a tad FILOSOFIKAL should I so please… or lighten the features with a laff or three as the Muse takes me… and of course I’m delighted when other fine Lads ands Lassies of Blog Land see fit to click to ‘view’ my stuff… who doesn’t, Mabel?… how grand it’s been therefore, that in the past week, during a whirlwind visit from Bahrain to the UK, via Abu Dhabi, taking in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Edinburgh again, London again, re-via (my new WURD of the day) Abu Dhabi once more, then back to Bahrain, I’ve posted a series of daily pieces which have been well-received… to the tune of over 700 views to be more precise, prior to any ReTweet and Facebook shares… this tickles the hell out of me, not just for the amazingly gratifying interface of great pals on here, but also for the re-affirmation of how the web multiplies yer messages so easily… and it underscores for me at least, how valuable to an Author is an active presence on the Internet…
…I’m frequently asked in Q and A sessions what a writer should be doing to enhance his/her writing career… and my answer is constant… develop, develop, develop, and develop even further yer relationships on the SOSYAL NETWURKS… no hanging around waiting until yeez have completed yer masterpiece(s)… get onto the bus now, before it takes off… build yer platform while yeez are still scribbling yer Nobel Literary Prize Winning tome… interact with yer readers, other authors… emb’dy that wants to communicate with yeez… and by the way, it’s also great fun… elsewise, why do it? see yeez later… LUV YEEZ!…

While you were gallivanting around Blighty this week, I took it upon myself to a deputise for you at BWC with the answer to “What a writer should be doing to enhance his/her writing career.”
Roughly translated, it went “Develop, develop, develop, and develop even further yer relationships on the SOSYAL NETWURKS… no hanging around waiting until yeez have completed yer masterpiece(s)… get onto the bus now, before it takes off… build yer platform while yeez are still scribbling yer Nobel Literary Prize Winning tome… interact with yer readers, other authors… emb’dy that wants to communicate with yeez…”
