He could afford to post more frequently without overwhelming us. You could nudge that Westerfeld guy a bit more, though. He could afford to post more frequently without overwhelming us.

I used to try and post a little heads up every time I was published in a new mag. But no one really cares about that - they want recipes and anecdotes from me. On another note, I started reading Rampant last night and I am so excited about it. There is already a very long line behind me for the ARC, too. All thanks to you!

I've never purchased any of Scalzi's books (I read the first page of his last one and rejected it), but I've purchased every one of Scott's and your books for my sons and for my high school library, and your blogs were the main ways I found out about them. I read Gaiman's blog, which led me to watch Stardust (which was horribly promoted). I watch Vlogbrothers, so I ordered two copies of Paper Towns. In other words, much as they affect all other aspects of my life, blogs affect my purchases. While selling books can’t be the basis for a blog, blogs can be effective ways to sell books.
