[Original blog post from August McLaughlin]
Congratulations, August, that is AWESOME! Still working on consistency in relation to “sort of regular” posts, here, but I’m not beating myself up about it đ I do re-blog others, too, when it’s something relevant to my own views/interests, which I think adds more diversity. And here I go again, re-blogging you đ xox
About four and a half years ago, I asked my then agent what I could do to better my odds of success as an author, other than writing and writing some more. Among his chief suggestions? Start a blog.
Write for free in the spare time I donât exactly have? It sounded like dreadful homework, but like many writers, I was eager to do whatever it took to move forward. That âwhateverâ turned out to be one of the most important professional decisions Iâve made.
Over the weekend, my blog reached 1 million views. While numbers are by far not the most important thing and all relative, this felt pretty awesomeâespecially considering I recall very well a time I nearly pleaded people to check it out. (Uh, thatâs not a suggestion.)
Some writers might hear âa million viewsâ and think, âYeah, but it was all for FREE!ââŚ
