From Blog to Blog to Blog

I follow Anne R. Allen on Twitter and today Anne posted a link to her blog about the end of the book tour and what to do instead. You can read Anne’s post here: http://annerallen.blogspot.com/ Anne mentions and provides a link to Kristen Lamb’s Blog, and today Kristen blogged about using your name as a brand for your website and blog.

Okay, I’m one of those shrinking violet types, the kind that find it hard to speak up and be heard above the hub-bub. Omigod, to put my name on a blog? Yikes! But I’m taking Kristen’s message to heart. I’ve changed the name of my blog from Tagonist, pros and ans to Eve Kotyk, Crazy Woman and Terrific Writer. What? I didn’t? Well in my dreams I did. Actually I’ve just named it Eve Kotyk’s Blog. It’s a beginning.

By the way, Kristen Lamb has written a book entitled We Are Not Alone: The Writer’s Guide to Social Media. You can buy it at Amazon or from Who Dares Wins Publishing.  https://whodareswinspublishing.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=86 . I’ve read the sample first chapters and I’m ready to buy. At $4.99 for the ebook I have nothing to lose but my shrinking violet status.
