The other day while checking my notifications, I saw a message from Elizabeth Sims. I did the only logical thing any novice writer would do. I shit my pants.
Why? The lady was browsing through my reading tab! She took the time out to make comment on my blog page! Do you even know who Elizabeth Sims is?
Elizabeth Sims is the author of the Lillian Byrd Crime Series and the Rita Farmer Mysteries. Her agent is Cameron McClure from the Donald Maass Literary agency. I am presently reading the Rita Farmer Mysteries, researching Cameron McClure, and using Donald’s advice for my Novel (from his books). I always thought I was a fan of imaginary people. They might actually be real.
You never know who might be looking through your blog.
Okay have to say, you win! Best opening line ever on a post & in our email! As we opened our email, we began to check the incoming, mostly blogs we subscribe to. I’m not sure how you get yours. But ours comes in highlighted yellow, the name of the blog creator; A slash (/); Then, to the right of it, the words: “After shitting my pants, what would be my next logical step. Before ever opening it up, we were laughing our butts off. So, good job! Needless to say, yours was the first we opened. And you have every right to be soiling yourself! Great job and great point. You never know whose browsing your blog. Congrats!
Thank you Inion. I put a little oomph into that opening line. I hope I can create more good openings. BIG TITLES and small bodies
OMG, Brian, you are a riot. That’s awesome that a real-life agented author was reading your blog AND commented. This is good advice to stay on our toes because we don’t know who might be reading/watching.
Congrats!
It is awesome, right, but it still doesn’t compare to when my blogging mentor stops by to comment on my page. Now that’s frickin AWESOMER! (more awesome) Did you see the comment Kate? Did you? Reading Tab
Just stopped by and read…very funny. I needed this laugh today. Thanks!
Wow, congratulations!!!!! Great way to start off the New Year
Now when you say Rancher Lady, are we speaking of the Rancher’s Wife Rancher lady. Did SRH stop by my blog page? This really is good year.
Wow! We never know do we…
I know, right.
AHAHAHAHAHA. I’ve had a few moments like that along the way, and I’m right there with you.
It’s good to know others understand. I never knew a situation like that could make me feel panicky.
Thanks for commenting Emmie.
