Blog publicity


Lucky 7!
 I've been tagged by Lynne of Marina Marlee Lucky 7 Meme--thank you, Lynne! This is a fun, social media version of a chain letter for writers.

 So what do I need to do?

1. -- Go to page 77 of my WIP (okay, if I tagged you and you're a blogger, chances are you don't have 77 continuous pages, so pick a 7 of some kind - page 7, paragraph 7 or 77, line 7 or 77, etc and skip to step 3, adjusting as needed - 7 lines, sentences, words, letters...).


2. -- Go to line 7


3. -- Copy the next 7 lines, AS ARE (no cheating, no tweaking, no polishing for any reason at all) and paste them into a blog post (thus here we are) to share with the world


4 -- Tag 7 other authors (including bloggers) (see? it's a chain letter!)

And if you're tagged by me, what do you need to do? Steps 1-4 above!

My 7 lines come from my WIP, Montana Scribbler.When I come across helpful information about any aspect of writing, marketing, publishing, self-publishing I post it. When a writer, author, or member of Internet Writer Workshop (IWW) impresses me, I tout their book(s) and/or writing, and offer to publish their guest blog. Montana Scribbler will remain a WIP until I'm no longer able to write and post. ;0))

Here are my 7 lines:


"Many children are excellent writers and there are markets that publish their manuscripts. The following resources help jump start a youngsters's writing career.

KidPub, Books and stories for kids, by kids since 1995, http://www.kidpub.com/. Free membership required. Visit the FAQ to learn.."

And if you're tagged by me, what do you need to do? Steps 1-4 above!
