NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

LOOKING AT MY STATS

Stats say, changes are needed to The Writer Interview.  I am immediately taking charge of this! 

Until two weeks ago, I was not aware I had statistics to check.  Guessing you liked interviews was nice, but it's great to have stats that prove this.  I note some reviews are appreciated, while some are not.  My thoughts on writing are appreciated more than I expected.  Thanks!  That means a lot to me.

INTERVIEWS

I plan future interviews.  This may take until the first of the year to accomplish.  Readers can help by commenting on interviews.  Visit the author's webpage or blogsite, also.  While there, comment or e-mail the author.   Please mention where you found the author interview.  Authors love to hear from potential readers.  Let friends and contacts know about this blog.  I love having readers.  With a large audience, authors will feel comfortable granting interviews to this blog.  Readers can help make a difference by doing these small, but important things.  You are my partners. 

You may have overlooked the Suzanne Young interview.  She's a Penguin Books' published, Young Adult author, who kindly granted me an interview, when other authors did not reply to my interview requests.  Suzanne Young is a prolific author.  She has published 3 books since my interview with her.  She is now finishing up a 4th. book.  Read Suzanne Young's interview posted among Older Posts.  Visit her blogsite, then check out her books.  Suzanne Young is an author worth following.  She's going places in the literary world!

 REVIEWS

Yes, my reviews need improvement.  The review prior to this post needs editing into two posts.  I confess, I got carried away.  Interviews and reviews will not be confined to one genre.  I am inclined to a personal style of review over a professional style review.  Almost every book I review will come from my personal collection.  Some authors, like Mark Twain or Edgar Allan Poe, may rate reviews of their own.  Both authors are inspirations to my writing.  I hope my reviews win readers. 

EXTRAS & OTHER THOUGHTS



I am pleasantly surprised my 3 part Writer's Retreat post was well-received, especially part 2.  Life is filled with odd, yet funny moments.  I will definitely include "me" posts.  Laughing at myself reminds me life is worth living.  "Willkommen alles Deutschland!"  Until my stats check, I had no idea I have readers in Germany, Iran, the United Kingdom, and parts of the old Soviet Union.  To have readers from around the world is humbling.  I welcome readers all over the world.  Yes, Canadians, I know you visit too!  I feel lucky to have American readers.  Thank you and please keep visiting and reading.

CONCLUSION

I listen to what readers tell me in my stats, comments, and e-mails.  I seek authors to interview.  I will improve reviews, shorten posts to a reader friendly size ( after this post ;-) ).  With your help and guidance I will succeed.  I seek constant improvement to this blog.  Thank you for inviting me into your life.
