Living the Fictional Dream

So, based on my data-gathering software, in the past month, this blog has had visitors from quite a few of these United States and several other countries. The bulk of my traffic is from Texas, which makes sense because I live in Texas, but there have been significant hits from places where I’ve never even been and didn’t know I had any friends, like Spain and Minnesota.

If you read my blog and you’ve never commented, I’d love it if you stopped and said hello! I’d love to meet you, even in a virtual sense. And if you have blogs of your own, definitely link them.

Also, as I brainstorm for content lately, I’ve been wondering what my dear readers enjoy the most. Book reviews? Links posts? Insider comments on my writing? Ruminations on aspects of writing in general? My thoughts on and links to more informed thoughts on the publishing industry? Links to good stories out there? Writing group stuff? Nonwriting stuff? Anything else?

This is your chance to let me know what your favorite topics are, and I’ll definitely keep all comments in mind going forward!

And if anything comes to mind that you’d be interested in seeing as a new feature or topic, let me know. I’ve been toying with the idea of putting some of my fiction up on the blog, but that can be a little dicey. A lot of markets consider stories posted on a personal blog as “published,” and that limits where you can send your stories. However, I’m getting to the point where some of my stories that are already out there are hitting the end of the exclusivity clauses. I might be able to publish some of those here as reprints. Though, since most of those were available online, perhaps that would be a mite silly. You can always get to the ones that are still available out there via the link on my “Erin’s Stories” page.

Have a great day, everyone!
