Say I, as I'm blogging and not revising. I appreciate the encouragement. btw, here's my blog site cristineeastin@wordpress.com. I'm new at this, and if you have any coaching, that, too would be appreciated.Cristine Eastinhttp://cristineeastin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10900857.post-22852636751260214342012-06-29T11:36:19.521-04:002012-06-29T11:36:19.521-04:00I edited and submitted my first novel (that won th...I edited and submitted my first novel (that won the contest) for several years before it ever won, so patience is key, as much as we don't want it to be. :) Trust me, I know. Keep on writing and perfecting your craft! And try not to worry too much about all the social networking and blogging and such. Do what you can, but don't let it take away from your writing time (ask me how I know this too! LOL)C.J.

It's great you're starting now. <br /><br />I would say that it's a bit of a gray area. If I were you, I would make sure my blog address was in my blogger profile for sure (so when people click on your name they get your bio, e-mail and web address.) But it might come across a little bit desperate to put the address in the actual comments. I wouldn't mind here, but others could. <br /><br />Hope that helps!C.J.
