Tell me your ideas

By Berrit Bites


So I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to get your opinion on it finally.

I was thinking about the way that other authors will tend to make fan pages, and blogs, just for their books (or series) as a way for fans to interact more with them, and the like.

So I was wondering YOUR opinions on doing just that for my books as well

BUT

Instead of just having it a fan page, the thing I would do was take it one step further. I would include "lost diaries" or "deleted scenes (lost pages)" much in the same way that movies now have a behind-the-scenes ability with their DVD's where you can explore and watch other parts of the movies being made.

Now obviously the blogs/fan pages would end up with the similar ideas of updates on the upcoming releases, deals, etc., however, I'd take it one step further and make it so that people who purchased the book and were fans, would have the ability to go there to the sites and read actual lost entries from the books characters. Even diary entries that the characters write, or letters to other characters, which you may not read about, or see, in the books, but you can on their OWN personal site! Bringing them to life even more so for the people who enjoy reading up on them, or helping them stick around in ways that the books can't.

What do you think?


Any other ideas/suggestions, feel free to offer some.


xoxo

    Thanks so much for the opinion. Next up is trying to determine whether it be best to start a private blog on here for them exclusively per the books, OR just a site off my Google site. Thanks too for stopping in, reading, commenting AND subscribing :D Really appreciate you taking the time to.

    You're welcome for the sub. I also subscribed via email (that's usually how I do it so I can read them via mobile). Won't always comment, but I sure do read them :) I love the way you write.

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
