More Writerly Thinkings

k_a_webbHaving a dog to look after today has meant I've got very little work done. I'm hoping to work after he's gone, but that's going to be another half an hour, at least, and I'm going to have to eat and wash up first. However I've realised that isn't too much of an issue this month, because I'm in a good position with the ghostwriting I need to get done as well as the money I already have. Sometimes I really do panic far too much over money. I think it's because this is my first time being the main earner and I'm always going to panic over that sort of thing, especially as I'm a freelancer - so this could all fall apart tomorrow. However I'm not going to think about that right now.
Instead I'm back to working out how to get more interest in my writing. I have my website. I've done a lot of work to make it as easy to get around as possible, because that's important to me. With my new shortcodes that should be a lot easier than it has been. So what I'm thinking of doing is posting a link to three stories a day, for the next couple of weeks, and see what sort of interest I get from that. The whole point of the website was for it to be used and I want people to be using it. I want there to be comments. I want there to be discussions. I want it to be the home of my writing and where my readers know they can come to talk to me.
I do have my like and write more buttons. These would be wonderful if I get feedback from them, to say someone had clicked on them, but they don't. This doesn't mean I don't want you to click on them. Every time someone does it shows they have been reading. When it comes to comments I don't mind if they're one word. I don't mind if you're asking me questions about the characters. I don't mind if you're asking my questions about the settings. Once I have a bit more time I do plan on going back and dealing with the typoes, but that's going to have to wait for a little while, and I don't mind if they get pointed out. I just want there to be people there.
