Coming up with blog topics on a weekly basis can be a challenge. Sometimes, I have a half dozen ideas and have no problem writing a couple hundred words on something I care about. Other times, I’m on deadline and I fear I’m short-changing those who visit my blog. And, I have two blogs I post to regularly and another –aside from this one– where I’m a columnist (and post every other month.)
What I did on my personal blog for the summer is ask readers to ask me questions, and every Monday I’ll answer them. This has worked out beautifully. For one, I know what people are interested in hearing about, and two, I don’t need to come up with blog topics. Yeah!
Here at TBR, Wednesday’s are for Q&A. Deadlines as they are, I’ve neglected updating my website for quite sometime. I have my blog which I post to weekly, and is the most visited page on my site, but I noticed my bio is waaaayyyyy outdated. So I’m in the process of rewriting it and other content.
I assume if you’re visiting this blog you regularly go online and probably visit other blogs and author sites. My opinion about author sites is that they should provide basic information in an easy and attractive manner. I feel that people visit author sites primarily to find out about upcoming books and secondarily to find out about the author. That’s my focus on my site. What other kinds of things that, as a reader, you would be interested in?
BTW, my book THE PREY was released in Germany this month! Germany was my first foreign sale, though the French and Spanish books came out first. I really love what they did with the cover, and it takes an important element from the story in a way I love.
