They will come and go. Flash and fade. But you always need a home for people to come to, so blogging and your web site will always remain a fundamental part of any marketing strategy.

I also love good reads. It is a way for me to connect with other readers and get book recommendations. I also visit authors forums because I know fans of the books I love will probably recommend great books for me to read. <br /><br /><br />For me it doesn't matter about the medium the author uses as long as I can find out the booklist of released books. And find out information on books that will be coming out from those series.SoBella Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605181118250545686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-37846323899036455952010-03-24T22:08:16.219-04:002010-03-24T22:08:16.219-04:00Jeez...

Are future generations going to want more flash fiction? (Can't help but think of <i>Demolition Man</i> where the music trend was of popular commercial jingles.)<br /><br />We're bombarded by the noise of information every day, the immediacy of it all. People want sound bites, encompassing snippets, highlights.<br /><br />I think you'd have to do a quick study in social trends to answer the question.Jaye Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05595648222196000153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-249622854642465642010-03-24T21:14:48.140-04:002010-03-24T21:14:48.140-04:00I love your blog too, so don't go away.

It would be a chance to give them more exposure. Besides your blog, they are two others that I visit every day.lxzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898457609552734512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-18230603075264072352010-03-24T15:58:36.491-04:002010-03-24T15:58:36.491-04:00I love reading your blog, it's one of the only...I love reading your blog, it's one of the only ones I read every day. The personal touch and applicable (pretty!!) content is where Facebook and micro-blogging can't compare. I agree with Rabia re multi-media; Shooter Jennings has a project coming out with Stephen King and it sounds really interesting. That could easily lead to cross interest from either side. If it doesn't suck. ;-)Tom, Emily, Brennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169487650302581652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-84087631791885143942010-03-24T14:18:07.002-04:002010-03-24T14:18:07.002-04:00Please keep blogging!

I love your blogging voice, and have since I stumbled on to your Starlines blog about six-seven years ago and spent several days reading through the archives (*blushes to admit she's a stalker*).<br /><br />I don't think blog are going to go way soon. You just don't get the same kind of thoughtful content on social media sites that you do on blogs. Call me old-fashioned (at the ripe old age of 29 :P), but I like to *read* content, not hear it or watch it. My mind starts to wander if I turn on a podcast, and my recent Farscape binge used up the rest of my video-watching quota for a half-year, at least. :D<br /><br />The next big promo wave? I guess I could take a wild guess at it. Maybe going multimedia with e-books? Partnering with other creative people to include original music, art, and animation in e-books? That would be expensive (and hard work!) but I can see that the Internet and going electronic makes it easier to mix creative endeavors in this way.Rabiahttp://www.rabiagale.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-39226095077982730972010-03-24T11:32:15.950-04:002010-03-24T11:32:15.950-04:00Couldn't tell you what the next hot promo wave...Couldn't tell you what the next hot promo wave will be. But I love your blog, Lynn, and I can tell you what attracts me to blogs. It’s the personal touch. Blogs where the author connects with me, I visit nearly every day. And though I may not always comment, I glean book recommendations (and the like suggestions) that drive my spending choices.NinaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673997575080486274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-5010213946512476922010-03-24T10:43:38.936-04:002010-03-24T10:43:38.936-04:00Considering I'm still waiting for that accepta...Considering I'm still waiting for that acceptance from an agent letter, I do keep my eye on things, but really have no idea what the next big thing will be. I do see online courses now on how to make your own book trailer. I'd have never thought of those to begin with and I still pay little attention to them. They remind me too much of a movie.<br /><br />I let everything go this winter though. My depression hit me really, really hard. I haven't posted on my blog in months. But I've started redoing it, have a few drafts I'm cleaning up to post and the most important thing, I'm writing again on my WIPs. So I'm thinking I need to concentrate on those things and let the next great thing happen on its own. At least until I'm back into the swing of things.<br /><br />In the meantime, I'll just stop here every day and pester you! ;o)nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-57393768017333938582010-03-24T10:24:40.534-04:002010-03-24T10:24:40.534-04:00I love blogs.

(Mostly used for friends and games.)<br />I Buzz. (not sure how I feel about this at the moment.)<br />I am a techy at heart. <br /><br />I recently became aware a great book Broken by Shiloh Walker - how she posted Snippets of the book on her blog and announced them on twitter and her blog. I loved this and found myself checking back everyday to see what else was up. It got me to buy the book and the previous Fragile too.Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494020537899622776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-24819566651451610152010-03-24T09:54:45.433-04:002010-03-24T09:54:45.433-04:00I still prefer blogs.

You can get tons of tips on twitter, but it's truly a *social* media - my main purpose in using it is to network, and I'm trying to find crit partners so right now that's important to me. But for helpful content, and a smaller community of like-minded readers, blogs are still best. You can EXPLAIN things on them! Woah!<br /><br />I love your book giveaways. I have a box I was going to go trade in at the used book store to fuel my next wave of reading but maybe I'll donate some instead. :)<br /><br />And now I need to look for posts about After Midnight because that does not look like a Kyndred novel and I can't remember what it IS.Jesshttp://www.jessicatudor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-38251492208215532682010-03-24T08:36:03.239-04:002010-03-24T08:36:03.239-04:00My blog and site are still my focus.

I do the basic promo I need to do, and the other, fun promo I kind of enjoy do-I keep up a facebook & myspace page because I do get regular interest from them and it doesn't take much time from me once I've set them up.<br /><br />I will admit I do love twitter, although I have to cut back on much I'm there.<br /><br />Beyond the stuff that I enjoy and that stuff that doesn't take too much time away from writing, I'm not going to worry about self promo.<br /><br />Promo is a never ending thing and if we get too caught up in it, it will eat us alive.Shiloh Walkerhttp://shilohwalker.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-54028549609123123722010-03-24T08:32:29.393-04:002010-03-24T08:32:29.393-04:00I have no idea what the next big trend will be, b...I have no idea what the next big trend will be, but I still read writers' blogs every day (yours included) but I never got the hang of Facebook, and I haven't touched my Twitter in months (ooh, dirrrrty).
