The Qwertyrash Blogs

A bit of everything: blogging, technology, writing, musings, sport and humor

A new fictional blog is coming…

Time flies but I am getting to the point of starting a new blog where the writers will be two characters from one of my stories. I’m not sure how easy or hard it’s going to be to maintain but I am optimistic it will enhance the characters and give me more fodder for their book. And maybe even serve as cross promotion for it (when I finally finish it!)

This is an idea I think other writers should consider too. Imagine your readers being able to “meet” their favorite character online?
