How to Decide on your Social Media Platform
Firstly, big thanks to everyone who listened to my audio interview in last Friday’s post and gave their support. It was truly appreciated and has removed some of the terror from such activities.
Anyway, onto today’s topic:
Why You Need To Know Your Audience
If I asked you who your book was aimed at, could you tell me?
These may not seem important to some writers, but I can tell you knowing your audience is extremely important. Knowing who is your audience is needed for things like choosing a Beta Reader or asking for ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reviews.

To Speak with Temperance
by Icky
“Eek! Dig it, Miss Plumtartt! We are guest hosts on Ari Meghlen’s highly touted writing blog, ‘Eternal Scribbler’!
“Quite so, Mr. Temperance. Miss Meghlen is very kind. Is there a purpose for our being here?”

How to stay focused when story ideas invade
I’ve talked about ideas before – you may remember my Song of the Muses post. However I want to discuss the invasion of stories.

You’re never too old to learn by Lorraine Ambers
Exam result time is upon us. People are waiting in angst or hope for their future endeavours. Now-a-days pupils are taught through positivity, that if you try you can succeed. This method is new. Teachers used to drill home the concept, that exam results were the pinnacle upon which success hung. That without great grades adults would scrape the bowels of existence. Facing perils for evermore… Blah blah blah!
