Planning

There are a lot of little nuggets here at Murder Lab a blog I found through Book Blogs. Kristen Elise has written a pretty well rounded bullet list of things an aspiring author can do prior to and after release of their works. Some of the suggestions I like and plan to do:

• Read and comment on other people's blogs
• Write guest posts for other bloggers
• Participate in blog hops and giveaways
• Retweet!
• Join a book club 
• Join a critique group
• Attend conventions

There's more and I recommend that any aspiring author reading this should hit the link to Murder Lab and see it for themselves. It gave me a moment's pause and reflection.
