So, though I'm now a Self-published author, with all of the fame and acclaim that comes with it, (None) I still have time to think about how I could be doing things better, or at least more effciently. Since a few months ago, when I split my blog off into a few factions, it's been a lot easier to post, and though I find myself posting less frequently, I seem to have attracted a few more readers by having a theme to the site they visit.
It's this frequency thing I plan to remedy, or try to, anyway. I've noticed a lot of bloggers have themed blogs each week, like Beard Of The Week, or Thursday Thoughts. It seems to work well for them and their readers seem to enjoy that kind of thing. So I sat down with a piece of paper and a pencil and mapped out a tentative plan for my posting... Let me know if you'd like to see anything different!
And remember, The Whispering Ferns is available on Smashwords, Barnes and Noble and the corrected version is up on Amazon too! And it's only three bucks!

Lindsay Kiernan will update her site whenever she feels like it, and it is not my place to question when or how often that may be... But I'd like to see more installments of "Like The Used To..." immediately!

I'm wondering about having themed posts. I see many bloggers writing them (although I don't know if I can maintain more than one blog).
Your fans are adorable.
Yeah... I don't know what I'm thinking having so many stinking blogs. I'm not the only contributor to Reviews Of Unusual Size and Deeply Dapper, and my wife writes her blog, but still. hahah
And those fans are only adorable when I'm holding something delicious.
Kris, just wondering. Did you apply for your own copyright? If so how long did it take to get it. It seems like this is a requirement from several e-pubs and I was wondering if you did the same self-publishing.
Like the them idea:)
Uh, oops, like the theme idea :)
Catherine, I did not apply for any certain copyright, per se, realistically, the words "Copyright Kristopher, 2011" should be sufficient for any kind of intellectual property like a book or piece of art. I mean, copyright law even protects a vaguely professional photograph from being reproduced without a release, so I'm not sure what a site would want outside of the properly worded statement in your file.
I published through Smashwords, Amazon and Barnes and Noble and none of them had any statements about it outside of the need for a properly worded page in the book.
Thanks, Kris, you have educated me!
