Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find you as Austen is one of my all time historical faves and regency is a fave period setting.

Wow, it sounds like you have all sorts of extras in addition to your blog! So far, trying out social media has been enough for me 🙂

Yet, as the wise say, through tribulations one grows stronger…focusing on MY blog/website/social media platforms to reach MY readers is a far better use of my time, energy, and talents.

That’s such a fantastic realization to have. And that you’re keeping it true to yourself rather than others’ expectations of what your blog should be like…fabulous. My hats off to you! 🙂

I didn’t know about the Austen Admirers app. Will have to go and download it later as for once I’m using my PC to read your blog.

I do admire your devotion to your subject and your readers as the amount of time you spend blogging and interacting through social media must be considerable. Sometimes I think about starting a blog but then realise I just don’t have the time!

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience but I guess in the end it has to be put down to experience. It won’t be any comfort I’m sure but I guess you’ve heard the saying that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

It really is all about trial and error and we have to learn along the way what works for us. You tried it, it didn’t work and you moved on. That is all any of us really can do. I wouldn’t call it a waste of time. It was a learning experience and you learned that for you, it was not the way to go.

Glad you’re using your Pinterest addiction for the good of the blog 🙂

I adore Austin. I can read and reread her novels forever!

Your Austen Admirers APP on ITunes was my first contact with a writer’s blog. I pop by daily and have personally benefitted greatly in my understanding of Regency history, book marketing, and author interaction. I shopped your Zazzle store and have your character family tree next to my writing desk to reference my own characters.(which I have listed alongside). You are truly a new JA writer’s best friend, Sharon. Thank you for all of your hard work as it makes mine so much easier.

I know the Golden Rule from Matthew 7:12. I also like Thumper’s Rule from Bambi. “If you can’t say nuffin’ nice, don’t say nuffin’ at all.” Gracias Sharon!

Well we live and learn! Good to shake yourself clear from what didn’t work and turn to something that does. It sounds like you are very active and busy on your blog and social media. I see you have Marie Force on your blog June 4. Love her Fatal series. May your writing be blessed.
