blogging a book
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A note from a reader: “I see you mentioned a blog that is about a book. I am actually writing my next book on my blog. Readers can follow along as the rough draft takes shape, post by post. The working title is From Z to A about that magic space in between.“You can find it at: http://evadillners.blogspot.com. It's an exciting adventure in creativity and a very different way of writing, going public post by post. My previous books have been written before I showed them to anyone.” -- Best Regards, Eva Dillner
Have you started blogging your new book? You should be. It's what Seth Godin does with all his books. It's an easy way to start building an audience while creating content and getting feedback on your book.

You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world. — Sheila Graham, author
