I see a constant demand for posts ...Excellent post. I see a constant demand for posts like these.<br /><br />I too thought getting a website was a waste of time, considering I'm not even published, but I find it is now invaluable. <br /><br />I had NO idea how to create one but RapidWeaver for Mac was both beautiful and easy to use. I invite you to view mine and see what $79 and four hours did lol. <br /><br />As for blogging, I honestly thought it would be hell. But, as you said, you can write whatever you want to write about. Keep it true to your voice and taste, don't try to copy anyone, and if you only feel like writing a small paragraph then do just that (people will probably appreciate a shorter post anyway).<br /><br />I did talk to an agent and she agreed with what you posted. She mentioned she googles a prospect's name to see if they have been self/trad published before. She also looks up their website and blog, if any, and checks them out on Tweeter to view their following and whether they are actively tweeting.<br /><br />Thanks again for your excellent post Aimee (and Rebecca).Rashad Pharaonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795035923841527742noreply@blogger.com
