Thanks

I found you on Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers and linked over to your website. I hope it’s okay with you if I link you to my website. I know other writers (including myself) who will benefit from the knowledge you are posting. Thank you, by the way, for taking the time to post it. It’s nice to hear what other writers are going through.
I’m thrilled you have posted my blog site on your site. Just knowing I can share my wealth of knowledge and personal experiences with other fellow writers, makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.
Posting takes time, but I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it.
Hi, Jo-Anne,
Great life story, glad you are doing well. Is this where I comment to receive your tips on building an author platform? If so, I’m ready to receive.
You might want to check my website, which has one blog on it.
I’ve just started a new blog, YourShelfLife.com, which is about increasing your shelf life-–personally and in terms of the life of your work. The first post is up and I’m going to begin blogging in earnest after the 1st. I’d love a reciprocal link to your blog. I think we’re working on the same things.
All the best to you, and Happy New Year!
Sandy
Happy New Year Sandy;
Sounds like you’ve got some goals. A vision is a great way to start the New Year. I’ll be checking out everyone’s blog once things on this one dies down
(not that I’m complaining… ).
Commenting on other blogs will increase traffic back to your own. As far as linking mine with yours, you are welcome to list my blog site on yours, but I’m going to pass right now on listing yours on mine. Perhaps once you’re up and established you could ask me again.
Jo-Anne
Hi Jo-Anne. Good luck with finding an agent.Not an easy task. I know.
Have a great 2009 and will post a link to you on my own blog.
Stan Rogers.
Hi Stan;
Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
I’d like to check out your blog. Please post your site address for us. Thanks
Jo
Hi Jo.
My new blog is at http://wordyrappinghood.wordpress.com
Hope the new year goes well for you my friend.
All the best.
Stan.
An absolute waterfall of information! Well done :^)
As others have stated, “Thank You” so much for all the great info. I’m embarking on my own promotional campaign and every little bit of advice helps keeps some wind in the sails.
I’d like to add you to my blogroll as well. My blog can be found at http://avomnia.wordpress.com. There’s also a link to my website from there as well.
I’ll be checking back often!
Sincerely,
J.W. Nicklaus
Hi Jo-Ann,
Thanks for the info about your trip to Cuba…We are definitely going to do it. I’ll be watching for more on the trip…Please keep me posted.
Best,
Bill
Hi Bill;
Will do. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Jo
Jo-Anne, what an amazing and inspiring story. Isn’t it wonderful to pursue your passion? I’m a writer too and I love this creative journey.
Your words speak volumes. God puts little obstacles in our way…it is only after time, the reason becomes clear.
My fellow on Orkut shared this link with me and I’m not dissapointed at all that I came to your blog.
Why, thank you. What a nice thing to say.
Make sure you send a huge wave over to your friend on Orkut…tell him spreading this gossip is awesome…:). >Jo cheers: “More, more, more.”<
Defining your niche was probably one of the most difficult things for me to discover. I always seem to know what I don’t want, but I don’t always know what I want. Because I’ve gone through some drastic changes in my life over the last few years, I had to really look at myself. I needed to point at the specific area of strengths and what I could actually offer to the world. God has given me so many gifts, now what does he want me to really do?
When viewers are searching for a blog, they want to read along a fairly specific topic. Some blogs are all over the place. Mine was, to begin with; until I discovered my niche. Do you know who lead me to my niche? My readers and followers. This I truly thank you. There’s nothing better than finding an identity.

Dear Jo-Anne,
It’s been ages since I looked at your blog/site/all. Congratulations for all your hard work. It looks like it’s paid off for you. I lost all my work (two novels and a book of poetry) in a computer snafu that corrupted my laptop and also corrupted my separate back-up hard drive. So, I had to go back to the drawing board and use old drafts to catch up to where I’d been. I’ve also had a lot of personal family things going on – too numerous to bore you with – and that’s been hard too. I think I will try to use the site I set up for myself again and start developing a “presence on the internet” as C. Hope Clark advises as I get up to speed again. Will you be at the Muse Online Writers Conference this year? I will. Hope to see you there. Verona Murray
Hi Verona;
Was wondering where you’ve been. Sounds like it’s your turn for some good luck for a change. I’ll send some vibes your way.
I’m all registered and have my workshops and chats picked for the Muse Conference. But…suddenly…my book bloomed and will be printed at the same time. It’s published and I should have the physical copy in my hands this week. EEEKKKK…YEAH…..YEEEHAAAAA…. yes, I’m excited…lol. I’m now busy planning my actual and virtual book tour. Yet I do plan on stopping in at the Muse. See yeah there.

Hi Jo-Anne,
Have you ever written your story as a book? I was commissioned by Hodder & Stoughton some years ago to write the story of a lady who had a brain tumour and who, though she became wheel-chair bound, went on to write books of poetry. Her courage and faith were an inspiration to many. The book, Healed Within, is out of print, but I still have copies.
I wish you well with your writing / publishing enterprise. God bless,
Mel Menzies
Hi Mel;
Thank you for responding on this blog. I always enjoy reading feedback from readers.
I do write fiction that has characters very close to what I’ve gone through. Perhaps when I’m famous (lol), I’ll write a biography that others will want to read.
Blessings to you.
Jo

Hi Jo-Anne,
Well, I have finally found someone whose journey to writing is similar to mine. I taught International Languages in secondary school and college. I left teaching due to illness and my book was published this past December.I also write for online and print publications and love what I do.
All best to you!

Oh my God, Jo-Anne, I can so relate to your physical challenge, having a condition called ‘pudendal neuralgia’ myself and still living with it since July 09! Not many people have heard of this illness, but it’s basically a compressed nerve deep in the pelvis that brings on the most horrible pain all over the pelvic floor; you can’t sit for long; and it can affect the function of organs such as bladder and bowel. I won’t go into any more details, because there isn’t any point in going on about it.
Needless to say, I have been through the depression, the ‘wanting to die’ phase, the pain, tears, panic attacks, you name it and I think you and I have had it
I’m doing better now, after months of physical therapy. There is surgery for this but they don’t recommend it as only a handful of doctors know about it and the outcome isn’t that good. Besides, I believe in the body healing itself. My inner self and I have finally made a strong connection (it only took me over a year to do this), and now I am beginning to let go of the fear and I’m taking more control of my life.
Well, that’s a little about me that I wanted to share. I think what you do is great, and overcoming the obstacles is what it’s all about, isn’t it?
Hope to connect with you soon.
Love, Sylvia (Sydney, Australia)
