I took notes of my own but it's good to have a handy summary here, especially of the last two books - which I missed because of dashing off to catch the train for Birmingham. (Sorry Scott!) I bagged the copy of 'Blood, Sweat and Tea' by Tom Reynolds and it certainly made the journey home fly by. Thanks Jacq and Kirsty for organising another relaxed yet informative event.

I’ll be teaching creative-writing courses here at our house, which is something I’m really looking forward to. Bookarmy have just run a nice article about my course, The French Workshop, and there’s a news piece on the Faber blog too. I also wrote an article about the importance of daydreaming for the London Writers’ Club. This will be my busiest summer for many years.

But I do have an unpublished writer on my books who gets over 70k hits per month on her blog and has over 2k subscribers on her list (so she has their email addresses) and this list is growing all the time. I found this good list on Seth Godin’s blog which gives some good advice: www.sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2006/06/how_to_get_traf.html Ah, Suz, well that’s a whole blog post in itself.

There's no way I've ever had 10,000 followers though. Not even recently published debut authors have 10,000 followers. How exactly do I get even 1000 followers onto my blog? I do love blogging about writing, and I love all the people I've met on blogger as a result, but I've never heard of thousands following a blog. Um, I’ve got a blog.

Writing from the heart also means that you will be genuine - something that always comes through to the reader and means that every time you talk about your book you will be true to your ideas and people will see you really care, that's infectious.

I find it takes me longer if I leave my story for several days. Then it's uh oh - where did I leave off? 45 sounds good - not overwhelming but enough time to get yourself back into the story.
