GREET & MEET DAY on LORELEI'S MUSE

Wow! I'm able to post something today!!!

Hello, my pretties.  Yes YOU out there!

I'm amazed at all the nice people who have come over to my blog and begun to follow me! 132 Followers for Lorelei's Muse as of today! That's really wonderful!

Problem is I can't see who you all are. There is no way that I can find you unless you make a comment. Really! I kid you not!

So, what I thought I would do is make this post for all of you who have recently become followers since, let's say the first of this month (February). I gained a bunch of you during the blog hops and a few more through a couple of interviews and such. So, it's up to you if you want me to return the Following to your blog. All you have to do is leave a comment, message, whatever. Say Hi--anything simple, so that I know who you are and then I can come and visit and follow you too! Unless, of course you'd rather remain one of my lurkers, and stalkers--which is fine! I've got LOTS of those!

I thought I'd post a picture of me in a rock shop while on vacation in Silverton, Colorado. My husband caught me in a moment here.

So, leave a comment if you want me to know you you are out there! You may already have done so, which I'm so grateful for your stopping by. Your support is very important to me, and I'd like to come and support you as well, if you'd like.

Coffee Klatch Monday

I have a cup of coffee--creamer & Splenda--and a cookie this morning. What did you have?

Hi, and greetings to old and new fans/followers out there. I'm unable to see my followers list, so you'll forgive me that I'm not able to return the favor unless you make a comment here. Thanks for the add, at any rate.

This is going to be a trial thing, this Coffee Klatch Monday. What is Coffee Klatch? It's a casual gathering for coffee & conversation. So, if you are participating this is all I ask of you:
1. Leave a comment. Say hello.
2. Tell me what you are having at this Coffee Klatch (i.e. coffee & bagle or whatever)
3. Click on someone you don't know who leaves a comment and check out their blog! And all of a sudden you have a new friend and possibly a potential follower. The whole idea is to follow the meaning behind a coffee klatch in the old sense of a casual gathering and chatting/greeting. If you want to join in, please do. I'd love to hear from you, what you are doing today or this week, and hope to accomplish. If you are doing NaNo, let me know how it's going. If you are joined up but are not getting anything done with it, share that. (I did join, but early on decided it was too much for me--got too much this month to do.)

Tell us what you've done this week, or what you've blogged about. Anything you wish to share. We all need support and kind, encouraging words from our fellow bloggers/writers. I know that not everyone can stop and say hello, but I'd love to hear something from any of you who have not made a comment here in a long while. Again, if you are doing the NaNo, I don't expect it. This will be a lean month of comments at Lorelei's Muse. But if you do read this, and have in the past made comments on something, I think you for your kind words and encouragements.

Meanwhile I'm going to tell you about a few blogs/people you should check out.

The first one I share in the name of all writers who have had doubts about themselves and their writing at least once. If you've never seen The Kill Zone blog, you might want to go check it out. James Scott Bell is known for his suspence writing, as well as his contrabutions to Writer's Digest. He has a list of things you should NOT do as a writer called "How To Feel Miserable As A Writer".

And this just in: James Garcia Jr., author of his fast-paced, vampire book, "Dance on Fire", has given me an excellent review at his blog. If you have been considering reading my book, Vampire Ascending, but have not commited, you might want to read his review. THANKS JIMMY! I think he gave me a fair review here.
