It’s Complicated
Never fear, folks. I’m still around, and still ready to get started on this month’s IR winner! It looks like Liar’s Dice managed to break a three-way tie at the eleventh hour, probably thanks to my complaining suggesting via Facebook that someone should do that for me so I don’t have to resort to a die roll. Did it win because it was the person’s favorite story? Did it win because it was at the top of the poll list? The world may never know. Still, it’ll be fun to get back to LD and see where our hapless heroes tread next. It sure can’t get much worse… Or CAN IT?!?
Still pondering how to get the word out. I know most people do this kind of thing by being active in the writing community and various forums and websites online, but as I have been focusing on completing projects and actually WRITING rather than spending a lot of time browsing the digital distraction field (hereafter referred to as the DDF, or just plain Internet) I have limited resources in this regard. Plus, I’d feel silly joining up just to pimp my own ride. I may be a good writer, but I prefer the kind of attention that comes from readers stumbling across my site and finding a good place to hang their hats, not the kind I have to strong-arm my way into. There’s a lot of detritus in the DDF – surely there must be some way to get mine more noticeable without handing out resumes links to websites I don’t even frequent.
Also, as an aside – I hate spam. Most of it is quite obvious and I don’t waste time on such things. However, there are often messages that are so close to believable that I run the risk of losing potential readers/comments to my spam filter. If you have ever tried to comment and it hasn’t shown up, please do send me an email at brasspetals@gmail.com (don’t use the comments, obviously!) and tell me. I want to be sure that I’m weeding out the bad but keeping the good! If I bite anything or anyone, it’ll be my spam filters, not you.
See you on the 1st, ladies and gentlemen, with Liar’s Dice in tow!
