Jim Baen's Universe published _Fancy Farmer_, and Naked Reader republished it. _Lawyers of Mars_ was postponed by NR but should be out in May.MataPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128604732495114033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-45525637117773241042011-03-27T01:42:51.244-04:002011-03-27T01:42:51.244-04:00Synova,

It's one of the regularly visited posts on the ROR site. Feel free to cross post it to your own blog.

I have to push myself to update my blog at least twice a week (it pushes to twitter and facebook, so I'm kind of covered there), and... that's about it. <br /><br />Once I'm trapped somewhere like at a con, if you can start me talking I'm fine. It's getting me started that's the problem. I have two modes. Silent, and "for chrissakes someone shut that woman up!"Kate Paulkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034983693134240754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-55254641465665667232011-03-26T18:28:25.565-04:002011-03-26T18:28:25.565-04:00Hi Rowena,

I don't feel the need to promote my shorts.<br /><br />I have an embrionic blog that sees a flurry of visits when I have something out. <br /><br />I think most of the traffic is referred from the guest blogs I did on maps in fantasy novels at ROR.<br /><br />But this self promotion caper sounds terrible for so many reasons. I had planned on becoming a reclusive hermit novelist, best known for being a grumpy old man!Chris Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515115955119082498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-45553578703709356592011-03-26T18:18:57.987-04:002011-03-26T18:18:57.987-04:00So far, I participat on Baen's bar and Faceboo...So far, I participat on Baen's bar and Facebook.<br /><br />As I get more than a couple of shorts published, I'm going to have to start doing more. Blogging. Arg! Going to Cons. Yay! Putting myself foreward at Cons. AHHHHH!<br /><br />Well. I'll think about blogging Real Soon Now. All I have to do is figure out how to advertize the blog. What little I've done has generated about a dozen visits, all from people I know.<br /><br />http://matapam.livejournal.com/<br /><br />For starters, rename it or get a different one or??? I suppose it'd better be searchable by my name and or a book title.MataPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128604732495114033noreply@blogger.com
