an author learning to blog
Hello to anyone who’s used to reading my diary at www.marcw87.sg-host.com
I’ve decided that the time has come to learn to update it myself, without having to ask my wonderful website guru – and so I’ve started this blog. (That’s a web log, for anyone like me who didn’t know until a couple of weeks ago.) I’m hoping I’ll be able to update much more regularly than I did in my previous diary, as well as setting up sites for special events like
(nimsisland.blogspot.com). I’ve also begun one for general tips on writing: authorjournal.blogspot.com.
The first thing I discovered is that what everyone says is right: blogging is easy! However learning and setting up anything new takes a bit of time so I’ll be adding to them gradually – I’ve still got to meet my deadlines and the other bits of an author’s working life. But for those of you interested in publication I hope it’ll give you a glimpse of that life – much less glamorous than people like to presume! You should be able to follow the progress of different projects from conception t0 publication – or screen.
happy reading!
