I actuall...Hey Melanie, I completely agree with Al. I actually didn't start the blog with the hopes of being discovered. I had been writing for years, just sending out articles and stories unsolicited to mags and newspapers. The blogging was just a way to get my writing brain back into gear and have some fun. What WAS incredibly valuable about it, though (and I hadn't anticipated this when I started) was how many incredible people I would meet online - other authors, journos and so on, who stimulated and encouraged me. But many authors don't blog as they prefer to 'save' their material for their books. I guess in summary there's no magic answer!!!! I feel very blessed....Kerri Sackvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404421856986720832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-378113590040050502011-04-29T08:13:37.382+10:002011-04-29T08:13:37.382+10:00@Melanie - Great question.

It's a great platform for finding readers and getting examples of your voice together, but you need to be making other steps as well - as in, writing a book and sending it out to agents and publishers, or pitching stories to magazines. Then, you can point back to your blog and say 'look at me, how cool is this', but solely relying on the blog in the hopes that someone will find it is only half the story. Well, to me anyway... Kerri may have other thoughts. :-)allison taithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762529258195877400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-10544383653173438852011-04-29T07:40:31.984+10:002011-04-29T07:40:31.984+10:00Congratulations Kerri and great post Alison!
