Finn writing for the Story Empire, shares some tips on ‘writing scary’. Hugh Roberts with two new, helpful blogging tips, showing us how to protect our blogs, and new WordPress changes.

  21. I always pull a tip or two from your monthly Writer’s Tips posts Debby. Some don’t apply (yet) because I’m not ready for marketing or book blurbs or Amazon tips for published books, but someday I will be. And when that happens, I can just go to your site and look through these monthly editions, all in one place, for everything I need! Thanks for all your work in creating a treasure trove from A to Z on everything about publishing. 🙂

  25. I was here yesterday, but sidetracked by Hugh’s tips.
    It’s become a must for me to check out what he’s sharing.

    1. Hi Res. Lol, so easy to get side-tracked. Thanks for coming back. And no! The same few blogs just will not recognize me. And yours is still one of them! 😦 I came by last night and tried to leave comment on that beautiful doll mural. Keeps telling me I’m not logged in, then I click and I am logged in, rewrite the comment then it sends me back to rewrite – about 10 times then I gave up. 😦 ❤ xox Grr!

        Don’t frustrate yourself over here!
        Hopefully things will clear up, or you will get to the bottom of it.
        Did you try commenting through the reader?
        Anyway, no worries and Happy Hallowe’en! 🧡🎃🖤🧡🎃🖤
