I am aware that I have not been writing very many blog posts. Sure I can give the excuses about busy schedules, or things that come up, and you probably know such stories. I don't need to repeat them. So I am going to make an effort to be more a part of this blog, and share thoughts on my mind, even if they are not writing thoughts. Or share about things I like (such as music videos).
This post is about numbers though. Here are some numbers. My author page on FB (http://www.facebook.com/fleethompson) now has 198 likes. My twitter account (https://twitter.com/Author_Lee) has 5060 followers. These are the two main ways that I am marketing my book (soon to be books).
These may simply seem like numbers. But they aren't numbers. These are people. Every single one. These are people I can interact with. Talk with. Learn things from. Share bits and pieces of life with.
I said to someone I met earlier today that the best experience is when someone I know tells me they really enjoyed my book. It really is amazing to hear this from someone I don't know also, but for some reason, hearing it from someone I know adds a little something to how special it is.
The people following me on twitter and facebook are people and every time one of them talks to me to tell me they enjoyed something I did, then it makes my day bright and shiny, and I want so much to keep working for just that reason.
