But I assume (hope?) it's different when there are contests that involve agents. I mean, if the agents are the ones telling you to post it online, they must be okay with that, right?<br /><br />Ooh, Rapunzel's cool too (though I always misspell her name the first time I type it). I really liked Tangled when I saw it last year.<br /><br />Thanks for your advice, Leigh!Tobi Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568662522495853235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563235311256262945.post-16612558513177162252012-02-27T18:17:58.922-05:002012-02-27T18:17:58.922-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tobi Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568662522495853235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563235311256262945.post-48147481159209874122012-02-27T14:25:44.474-05:002012-02-27T14:25:44.474-05:00Fun!

I like them both. I would recommend FB both.<br /><br />Haven't used adsense.<br /><br />I'm still weary about critiques. Although now that I have learned more, and feel like I do a better job at them I will do it once in awhile. This took a while to become comfortable with.<br /><br />I used to have 2 blogs. It was way to crazy. I had to go down to one. I think if you want to really do something right, you need to give it your full attention. Quality over quantity, maybe???<br /><br />I'm careful about what I post of my own stuff for now. I've heard horror stories. But I think sometimes it's necessary. Especially if it's a contest and agents are involved.<br /><br />I drive traffic by being a good blogger friend. I like to visit blogs. And I like to comment and make friends. Giveaways are also fun as well as bloghops.<br /><br />My favorite Disney character is currently Rapunzel!

I may look into doing something like that, where I have one definite post a week and then a few others (I also like the idea of pre-writing some "evergreen" posts that I can use when I'm feeling uninspired).

I like to have two or three posts written that I can just publish when I need to and then I write another one to replace it - that way when I have no inspiration I still have something to post, and when I am overcome with the need to write posts I don't fill my blog up on one day but I can still write them (if that makes sense). So that's my kinda-schedule.<br /><br />I use a lot of sites, like Tumblr, Pinterest, We Heart It, but I don't use them for writing purposes really, I just use them for fun :)<br /><br />No, I do not have enough traffic for that! Even if I did I don't think I would use it.<br /><br />Well, I have yet to do so, but I think I would feel comfortable doing that if I had around 100 followers (more so for giveaways, I think anyone can do bloghops because they're fun!)<br /><br />I do have another blog which is a nail blog, but since that is more of a fun thing I do, my writing blog takes precedence. And since I can only post on there when I do my nails, and I only do my nails if I feel like I've done sufficient writing work (including blogging) the two don't really conflict.<br /><br />I don't really post anything about my WIPs other than how my progress is going, because I don't want people to know a load of details about the story...after all, who's going to read it if they already know what happens? (I like to imagine a future where I am published, LOL! Haha.) I would post a summary or my query, though. I personally don't enjoy reading too much about other people's WIPs so I think that influenced me not to post about mine. Also I think I'm just a quite private person about my writing, I don't like to talk about it to anyone! <br /><br />I've recently started participating in blogfests and the campaign is awesome :) I like reading other people's blogs and leaving comments, but I couldn't say if that brings millions to my blog, and that's about it!<br /><br />And Aurora is my favourite princess :)<br /><br />I love answering questions, I hope at least some of that was useful for you :)Rebecca Barrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007014501516438149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563235311256262945.post-52204356214977498892012-02-24T17:44:06.963-05:002012-02-24T17:44:06.963-05:00Okay, questions...

It's not a strict schedule, more like a routine.<br /><br />As far as social media, I blog and that's about it. I have a Facebook, but hardly do anything with it.<br /><br />I don't use Adsense because I don't know how and don't think I have enough blog traffic to find it useful.<br /><br />I have yet to host a blogfest, and I don't know when I'll be ready. I have an idea for one, but no idea how I'd go about it.<br /><br />I blog about the process of writing my WIPs and ideas I get, but that's about it. Sometimes I put up three or four paragraphs, but that's about it. <br /><br />The best way to get blog traffic is to make friends with other bloggers. Leaving good comments is more important than leaving lots of comments, if you ask me. It's important to be a giver and help out bloggers you like whenever possible. They'll be more than happy to help you too.<br /><br />My favorite Disney character just might have to be Mulan. She's a real badass.<br /><br />Thanks for tagging me. ^-^McKenzie McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707799179783394809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563235311256262945.post-10990391088147962982012-02-24T14:41:04.577-05:002012-02-24T14:41:04.577-05:00Thanks, Kyra!

Okay, so I don...That's a lot of questions! <br /><br />Okay, so I don't have a blog schedule because I write my posts based on things I find, or struggles I'm having at the time. As long as I post at least twice a week, I'm happy. <br /><br />Aside from Twitter, I sometimes use Stumble Upon. I don't use Google AdSense anymore because it didn't really do much for me, but I might stick it back on at some point. <br /><br />I am a LONG way away from hosting a bloghop which offers a critique, but just having a few followers is a good enough time to start hosting them for fun. <br /><br />I have other blogs, but don't use them lol. <br /><br />The answer to question 6 is...I don't know yet.<br /><br />I don't stress about driving traffic to my blog. I just tweet, use my Facebook page, and comment other people's blogs. <br /><br />And finally, I'm gonna say...Belle :DKyra Lennonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853462182450429660noreply@blogger.com
