...Bob, I like to think I <i>lure</i> people to my blog :o)<br /><br />I've been writing it non-stop for three years or so, which helps, and I comment on other blogs if I have anything to say, and that attracts new readers. I'm a reluctant Facebooker, but have to admit that increases my blog traffic. I make it simple for readers to comment (no word verification etc.) and respond to comments. That's about it, really.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404818053292364819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250078125607062288.post-53568813915176729202012-01-12T10:04:23.750+00:002012-01-12T10:04:23.750+00:00Good advice, especially the last one.

Thou...Well, let's add one more rule, shall we?<br /><br />Thou shalt devote adequate time and space in your story to The Dog. If there is no dog in your story you must find a way to correct the situation. Cats may be substituted in an emergency, but only if the author is unable to locate a dog.<br /><br /><br />As you know, plenty of space is being devoted to the pooch in my WIP.Alan Hutchesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880999192085868408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250078125607062288.post-86582475800035427492012-01-10T15:02:48.021+00:002012-01-10T15:02:48.021+00:00The book to which you refer is Boomerang, n'es...The book to which you refer is <i>Boomerang</i>, n'est ce pas?
