Takes too much writing time away, and hasn't really taken off either. <br />I was encouraged to start it by an editor/friend last year,, but now I think spending more time writing, submitting more and finishing my novel in progress, would be a much better payoff!<br /><br />I hardly have any interaction on it anyway, and in fact have way more author interaction on FB. Initially the plan was for it to double as a website, but with just a few writing credits so far, (no book yet) I don't have much to advertise. And blogging just to blog seems so aimless! <br /><br />Recently I've guest blogged a bit and also was recruited to do blog tours. Both seem better caz. at least it gave me something concrete to blog about. But it's unpaid, and seems again, like I'd be better off spending the time getting my own stuff out there!<br /><br />Writing on a group blog like this seems the perfect solution! You don't have to own/deal with all of it yourself, but you still get your writing out there once or twice a week. You're one of the first writers I've seen who outright owned up to not having a blog! So thanks for that. Makes me think I might be okay ditching mine. <br />Thoughts??<br />Lisa Ciarfellahttps://www.writingfictionnow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-59580734924483069312018-07-11T15:34:30.957-07:002018-07-11T15:34:30.957-07:00Hello Grace - sometimes it feels like it!

I guess it's all about being accessible and visible to the reader and how the reader uses social media. Looks like you've got all your bases covered.
