I think some readers like interviews because they can connect on a more personal level with an author.<br />On the other hand, you offer such terrific content on your blog all of us who visit you often expect to learn something and we're never disappointed.Susan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-46485165315457689442011-01-09T21:55:46.295-05:002011-01-09T21:55:46.295-05:00I've had a my first blog tour in November of l...I've had a my first blog tour in November of last year. Personally, I hate interviews. "What inspires you?" "When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?" If I see anything like these questions I move on. Boring! <br /><br />Craft and promotion are what people want because when it comes down to it this is a What;s In It For Me world, and rightfully so. People stop by at least in part so they can glean something practical from Blog sites or at least be entertained or amused. Interviews do not accomplish any of these. <br /><br />Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-6289843557187336772011-01-09T21:26:07.619-05:002011-01-09T21:26:07.619-05:00I was thinking of doing a giveaway when and if eve...I was thinking of doing a giveaway when and if ever I get 100 followers, James.

R. Williams's blog tour, actually. I think blog tours help with promotion, both <i>because</i> they can be a lot of fun and that helps build more of an image for the author, and because it gets the word out to more people.Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-16865616567195067772011-01-09T14:12:37.975-05:002011-01-09T14:12:37.975-05:00Thanks, Alex.
