But Occasssionally, I Wanna Talk About You

In February, I wrote six posts. Three of them contained samples of my writing. One was an update on my goals and one was a wrap-up of my first author signing experience. Only one wasn't completely centered around me and it was two paragraphs of information 200 other people posted as well.

Also, with 237 followers, I have reached the point where I have a follower for each of my published posts. That could not have happened without you. I know I don't say it very often (or ever), but I love and appreciate that you all take the time to read and comment despite your busy lives and the hundreds of other great blogs out there.

So, I've decided that this month, it's all about YOU. That's right. All (or most, but all sounds better) of my posts in March are going to revolve around you guys.
  • Do you have a book coming out soon? Tell me! I will either 1) write a post about it or 2) publish a post written by yourself.
  • Are you hosting a giveaway, contest, or blogfest? I want to know! Again, I will either 1) write a post or 2) publish one written by you.
  • Would you like to gain more exposure for yourself or your blog? Write a guest post and send it to me. I will post it!
  • Does getting interviewed sound fun? All you have to do is ask! Include a link to your blog or website if you have one and your email address. I will send you eight (because seven is too clique) questions that you can answer in the email OR, if you're feeling adventurous, in a vlog.
I have already asked Kate Coursey and Chantelle Sedgwick to write guest posts. They will premiere in the later half of the month. Meanwhile, here is an interview with Kate and a post about Rachel Morgan's debut novel, Guardian. I hope you enjoy this break from all me, because next month I'll be back in full force with NaPoWriMo.

If you have any questions, suggests, or want me to host you in any of the ways mentioned above, feel free to email me at brookerbusse@yahoo.com.

    I am never hosting contests or anything...in that regard, I'm quite boring really! hehe. I'm also too lazy to write up guest posts. Gee, I'm going well here aren't I? :)

    In all seriousness, I like this idea of yours, and look forward to seeing what you post about for the rest of March! p.s. your blog looks peeerty.

      We'll just say you're too busy. -wink wink-

      Thanks, Trisha. And thanks for noticing my blog's new layout. I worked really hard on it and I just love it!

    You are very supportive. If I think of anything I'll let you know. I'll also try to spread the word about this.

      That would be much appreciated, Michael. I know if you say something, people will come flocking. 0-0 I might actually get kind of scared.

    Sounds awesome! It's wonderful that your blog has had such success! :)

    I will contact you if I feel inspired to write a guest post or want to be interviewed. And a little extra promotion of 21 Minus would never hurt, I guess. :)

      Thank you much, Laura. ^^ I've worked really hard on this site and I'm glad others like it.

      I would also appreciate that. I don't know if 21 Minus would qualify, as the fest is already technically over.

    Hey Brooke, massive congrats for taking fourth place in the first challenge. I was so excited I missed my own name, and had to go back to check when someone congratulated me :-)

      Ah, thank you, Sarah! That is so sweet. I saw your name and squeed! I posted my congrats on Rachael's post though... probably wasn't the best place for you to see it...

      Speaking of Challenges, I have to get to work on the second one. I am always so last minute!

      ^^ Glad to hear that you like it. If you'll just send me some info (ie. title, synopsis, etc) at brookerbusse@yahoo.com I'd be happy to write up a post, unless you would like to.

    Thanks for this opportunity to brag on someone else's site. My book "Annie's Special Day" will be coming out in a couple of weeks or maybe even one week (depends on when the publisher gets going on it) and I would love the exposure of you doing an interview or posting an article about me on your blog this month. contact me at Clarikebowmanjahn at yahoo dot com. Or let me know how you want to proceed.

    Again thanks for this wonderful chance at some more exposure

    I like this! I have a fairly new writing site, http://thirtyonedaysofdevotion.blogspot.com/; but on my other blog, Black Divorced and Virtuous (http://blackdivorcedandvirtuous.blogspot.com/2012/03/easylunchboxes-bento-lunch-box-review.html), I am hosting a giveaway for an EasyLunchBox system. I use the system at home and it rocks. It ends on Saturday, with the winner receiving a the full system valued at $21.90.

      Thanks for letting me know, Elizabeth. I will definitely check out your links. Right now I'm out of town so I don't know if I'll be able to get your post up before Saturday. I will try my hardest but if I can't I will let you know immediately.
