You know you’re a bit groggy from NaNoWriMo when…

…you refresh your own stats rather than those of your writing buddies. Perhaps I was trying to figure out how much I’d written in my sleep?

Sadly, no matter how many times I hit refresh, my word count remained the same. Guess I’d better go fix that….

Aaaah…Wodin’s Day!

October 8, 2014 / Marcia Meara / 2 Comments

Oh, Wodin’s Day…how I love you!! Everyone should celebrate you with wild and reckless abandon! Why? Because you come right before THOR’S Day, of course, and Thor’s Day is my very favorite day of the week. I mean…hello? THOR!!

Okay, now that I’ve brightened up the page, and made myself HAPPY, on to the issue at hand. For some reason, I am no longer receiving notices of new comments on any of my blogs, nor of new followers. I’m having to scour the blogs, looking for comments, so I can respond to question or compliments, or…hopefully not…complaints. Please forgive me if you comment and it takes me a while to find and respond to you. It is NOT intentional, I assure you. I’ve checked all my settings, and can’t find the problem, but if it doesn’t get better soon, I’ll have to…*shudder*…contact WordPress and ask for help.

Please just know that I appreciate every single comment, and for those of you who are already set up as Authors, feel free to go ahead and post on any topic you wish. Share your latest news, ask for help, or reblog anything you think might be of interest. And those who haven’t been set up yet, I’m working on it. (I injured my back yesterday, and can’t sit at the computer very long at a time right now, but never fear. This, too, shall pass, and I’ll soon be back here catching up.)

Have a wonderful Wodin’s Day, and get ready for Thor’s arrival tomorrow. 😀

Busy Day Today!

Busy, busy, busy this morning. So far, the response to this new blog has been very encouraging. In spite of all the resources out there for writers, it’s often hard to find a spot where you feel at ease, and can make friends. I hope this will be that place. Writers Supporting Writers. That should be our motto. If we help each other find answers, and we help each other promote our works, we can all grow. Writing is not a competitive sport. The more good books there are out there, the more people will love reading. Folks who love to read are always looking for that next great book, so what benefits one writer, benefits us all. That’s my story, an’ I’m stickin’ to it.

Now, I have my first post to do for a new member, so I’m off to put that together. But, don’t worry. I’ll be back. And in the meantime, I’m only an email away if you have questions, or want to share some news for me to post on your behalf.

Have a great, productive day today, and remember to love your work, so it can love you back!

Good Morning!

First, a big thank you to those who have already followed me. You will forever more be known as the ones who have been here since the very first day, and I’m so grateful for your support.

Second, you may have noticed that I changed the name of the blog already. 🙂 WordPress assured me that I didn’t need to overthink the name while setting things up, and could change it later, so I have. I wanted to better reflect what the blog is about, namely writing and writers. Including me, of course, so I’m in the tag line, since all of my book info, news, updates, and excerpts will be here now. But I want this to be about other writers, as well. Especially, though not limited to, those newbies out there who are looking for as much exposure as possible. I will be offering that for them, via updates, guest bloggers, discussions, and more.

I also want to have a bit of a “forum” aspect here, so writers can talk to other writers about things related to…well…writing, of course. Exchanges of ideas, tips, and so forth, with a good helping of fun thrown in, because that’s just the way I roll. 😀

Let me know what you think of the new name, and when I get back home later today, I’ll have some new posts for you. In the meantime, have a great day, and don’t forget to write! (And if you are a follower who doesn’t write, don’t forget to READ. You are the ones we do it all for!)
