    Hi Tara - great bloggers and consortium of .. I just like some switch off modes sometimes, when my mind wanders off .. nothing to think about, nothing to worry about for that short breathing space ... longer yes- something to read.

    Cheers Hilary

    Use that down time to roam around and meet other authors or introduce yourself to potential readers, too.

    Follow both although I don't get to visit all the time. Certainly not this month.

    Just yesterday I wish I'd had a trailer to show on my tablet during the book event I'm going to tomorrow. You've given me so many great tips this month.

    It's a good idea to bring a notebook along to an event. I'm used to community events starting on so-called "Jewish time," and have learnt to bring a book or something while I'm waiting 20–30 minutes extra for the event to start.

    Hi human, Tara,

    Well U did a great job with this one. Nothing like noting blogging community sites. Of course, IWSG aka "I Was Seeking Gary, is my deluded human's favourite site. Arf!

    I don't have an Ipad but I do have an Ipaw!

    Pawsitive wishes,

    Penny :)
