First off, I’ve decided to continue with the super
shorts, mainly because I really enjoyed writing them, only not quite so often.
I will post a new short every Monday.
On Wednesdays I will continue to post like I
always did, just me talking to you.
The biggest change will come on Fridays. I’ve
given this a lot of thought and I’ve decided I’m not doing my part. I visit all
of your blogs and talk to you and get to know you, but I have not purchased or
read any of your books. Not one. That officially changes May 1: Once a week I will
purchase a copy of a book of someone I follow, or who follows me, and I will do
a review here as well as on goodreads/shellfari, etc. If that author desires
it, I will then pass that book on to my local library. I want to see each of
you succeed, and will do my best to ensure that happens.
This new format will begin on Monday May 5th.
This Friday, I will be participating in A to Z in review. But before all that,
on Wednesday, tomorrow, I will be celebrating; because that is the day my very
first book is being released. If you would like to join me, stop back in; I
might even have cookies.
Thanks for all the love and support that you’ve
shown me. You are amazing.
You're an incredible writer, so I'll look forward to reading more of your work.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a pleasure surviving the challenge with your help, Mel! Thanks so much.
It's been wonderful getting to know you Melanie and I think that's an amazing idea about buying other bloggers books and reviewing them. I look forward to seeing what you write next!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the A to Z Challenge and also Congrats on the release of your first of many books.

It was so fun to read your awesome shorts and get to know you over the month. I love your idea of buying everyone's books. Very cool. I'll certainly be visiting again.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making it through this challenge and on the release of your book. How exciting!
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading your shorts, Melanie. Please drop by and visit me anytime.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first book!
ReplyDeleteYour Friday plan sounds awesome. I always purchase my blogger buddies' books but I don't get time to read many of them.
Congrats on the A to Z and your new book.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and generous idea. I look forward to keeping up with you and I've really enjoyed your shorts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on both the release of your book and of successfully completing the challenge, Melanie. All the best with your next project too. It has been awesome getting to know you and reading your writings. Continue on to be creative. You have it.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you're making the commitment to support your fellow writers.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the Challenge. We loved our posts.
The promise to read and review the books of friends is so kind of you! I'll look forward to that feature, even though it'll be a long time before my books are out. And I think Wednesday flash fiction sounds like a splendid plan.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a pleasure meeting you over April. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed visiting your blog this month and reading all your shorts. What I like about your writing is that you have a versatile style and it seems that you can write very comfortably in a variety of genres.
I look forward to reading more from you after this month.

ReplyDeleteI have loved your short profiles (loved your shorts sounds weird) and am extremely glad you are continuing them. Also, congratulations on your book!
