Whether you are using WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr every writer
needs to be blogging, but it can be a strange and unfamiliar world.
David Lucas, who writes for not one, but many blogs, will discuss why
writers should blog, what a book blog tour is, how blogs can be a great
way to market a novel, and how to draw traffic to your site. If you are a
blogger, have thought about blogging, or have no idea what a blog is –
this workshop will you navigate the blogosphere.
David Alan Lucas is a writer, poet, martial artist and a
prolific blogger. He has blogged interviews of emerging musical bands
for "Rolling Stone" type ezines, writing techniques, self-defense, and
health care law. Some of his blogs about overcoming learning
disabilities have been used by professors in universities both in the
United States and Great Brittan.
His fiction includes Paranormal, Horror, Science Fiction, and Mystery/Crime Drama.
David is a Sandan (Third Degree Black Belt) in Tracy’s
Kenpo under Tim Golby and David Hofer and brings his knowledge of
martial arts, physical and psychological combat to his self-defense
articles and his fiction writing.
David holds a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education
from the University of Missouri—St. Louis and a Masters Degree in
Business and Leadership from Webster University. He is also a certified
paralegal.
When David is not writing he is reading, working with
the community, traveling, camping, studying martial arts, or otherwise
looking to get into some kind of adventure that will likely spawn other
story and poetry ideas.
In David's "To Blog or Not to Blog, There is No Longer a
Question," he will go into the does, don'ts and musts of blog writing.
Many of these will be from personal experience.
David currently blogs actively on his own Coffee with David blog site (http://davidalanlucas.blogspot.com) as well as The Writers' Lens (http://www.thewriterslens.com) and he can be followed on Twitter @owlkenpowriter
Wow. You got my attention with the Writing Hitchcockian line. Now one of your blogs claims that "The Fight Scene" is where a character reveals his motivation?
ReplyDeleteBlog on. Teach me. I'm not new to writing in several media, but I do want to learn from you how to blog. That is the next challenge for me.
I'm following.
