The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 13,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

THE FIRST MONTH OF PUBLICATION: A RECKONING
In the interest of “paying it forward” to all the honest and open independent authors who have gone on before me, I feel this post is an obligation, on my part. Had they not blazed the trail, returned and reported that everything is fine on the other side, I could never have made the decision to turn down a New York book deal to become an indie author. I’ve therefore decided recount the so-called “indie-coaster” ride that was my first month as a self-published author.
AT ANY PRICE released officially on December 9, 2013. My first month as a published author has been full of ups and downs—mostly ups! The book has been very well received. By the one-month anniversary of publication, the book had 100 reviews on Amazon, 66 of which were 5 star reviews.

Nick Townsend is a high school principal battling alcohol addiction.

The next day, the school shooting he saw in his dream is headline news. When it happens again, he is determined to prevent the tragedy and solicits his best friend to help him save more children from certain death.
But what is the cost of saving lives? Will he continue to risk his life when the woman he loves is carrying his child? Can he win the battle against the demon tequila that threatens to wreck his world? And, when he awakens one morning remembering another school shooting dream, can he stop the horrible event from happening at his school?
Early Readers Rock -or- My Mom Says I’m Not Good at Writing Sex Scenes #ASMSG #AMwriting

You’ll see writers talking about how much they value their “early” readers (aka beta readers) for their feedback on story ideas, pacing, plot points, characterization, etc. That holds doubly true for me as I struggle to put together a story that keeps the reader’s attention. My mother is one of my biggest supporters in all things writing, so she is always willing to read a rough draft and provide comments.

Hmm, “Am I a social media ho?” -or- I used to be cool but now my 14 yr. old won’t let me.
Posted: October 25, 2012 in ebooks, novel, social media, UncategorizedTags: advice, ebooks, engage, facebook, family, novel, social media, twitter, using social media, writers
There was a time when I was cool. I know there was. I can feel it like one of those distant memories that comes back to you with some clarity and you can glimpse it for a few moments, then it disappears. Unfortunately, now the level of my coolness is completely dependent upon the whims of my 14 yr old teen queen – and she sets the bar pretty high. Here is a recent conversation –
Me – “Hey, did I tell you that I now have 36k followers on Twitter.” TQ (teen queen) – “That’s not really cool, Dad, you don’t even know those people.” Me – “Yes I do! They’re all my BFF’s!”
TQ – “You mean even those folks you swap messages with in Korea and the Phillipines?”
Me – “Uh, yeah! I’m good friends with all of them. We chat about how much we love K-pop like ‘Gangnum Style'” (I then begin to dance around the room like I’m riding a horse and sing the song.)
TQ- “Ok Dad, ok, …stop dancing, please please stop dancing ….. .I’m sure you are BFF’s with all your twitter followers (eyeroll). You should know there is a new acronym for folks like you on social media. It is S-M-H .”
Me- “Wow! Does it stand for So Macho & Handsome?” TQ – “No….. it stands for — Social Media Ho.” Me – (indignantly) – “No way! I’m not a Social Media Ho.” TQ – “Well Dad, I didn’t make up the term. You better
do a little checking on the web and see if maybe you are one.” Me – “Challenge accepted.”
