I'm hosting several people over the next few months and I'm trying to think of topics that have not been done before. <br /><br />Man, I love promoting my fellow writers ever since I started with Nancy S. Thompson! It was fun! Really, it was! The communication aspect of it thrills me :)<br /><br />Originality goes a long way. Just keeping my blog fresh is so darn time consuming... it never ends.

Yikes! But it's a difficult animal to tame and understand, especially if you're still a novice like me. Glad I have a PR group handling my other tour stops. That'll be all the reviewers and stuff. Still, my tour gave me big boost and bump when I needed the jumpstart, so it wasn't all bad.
