Also, it doesn't hurt to hang out at places that are not only about writing tips.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.com<br />http://www.morganmandel.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-59634165648516768582009-06-06T19:08:01.428-07:002009-06-06T19:08:01.428-07:00I'm afraid I'm yet another writer respondi...I'm afraid I'm yet another writer responding to your post. But I think it's encouraging that so many writers are reading.

That's one reason I'm doing the "Mystery Matters" internet radio show--yes, I want to talk with other mystery writers, but I'm doing it in a format where thousands of readers listen in. And I'll be interviewing Christine Duncan on June 19th, so I was happy to see her comments here. The interview will be archived for 24/7 listening, in case you're interested. www.franstewart.comFran www.FranStewart.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494827025233670242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-39085316737933966212009-06-06T14:39:45.390-07:002009-06-06T14:39:45.390-07:00I agree with you.

But perhaps it isn't as bad as we think being involved with groups like crimespace, which is open not only to authors but readers as well. But definitely broadening your blog topic to readers, not just writers.Linda Suzanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634001407865127483noreply@blogger.com
