RYC: No problem. And, I understand the droughts and distractions. I have myriads of them as well. If you want more reviews, connect with more people throughout your social network and post the link on your various sites (don’t spam people). I posted this piece of my book throughout my Platform: Facebook, Twitter, WordPress etc. I have received multiple reviews/feedback.
Well, I know that there is always one man who I can trust to be posting here. Well, I haven’t been posting here and I definitely have been swamped with almost crushing loads of work. How are you? I understand that you got that Xangian book out.
@WondersCafe - Actually, I’ve been missing in action since about July. I got “Xangans” out on 5 June, had a burst of fame – that “power rankings” site named me as # 1 on Xanga for that week, much to the displeasure of some – did a few personal reviews for contributors and helpers, and then had to change my ways. I was so swamped with stuff, I had to decide if Xanga was one tenth as important as RL, and since then I’m the forgotten man.
@darkoozeripple - Ahh the man replies within a 24hr basis. Excellent silent observation skills. So, you got your 15 minutes of fame there and then it dawned on you that real life is more important. I guess I found that out a lot earlier; thus my 10 minutes of fame was a series of featured questions and a few featured posts. I am sure that this reply feature was a topic of discussion the last time I visited. I aways wonder what replies I could have missed if I didn’t log in the next day to view all my newsfeed on my despicable xanga homepage. Well, there is nothing I can do about it. I hope you do visit often even though you may not have time to write much. It is good to still see you around. Do remember to visit the cafe when you get a chance and tell me if the new the layout needs fixing.
Have a very Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year!
@WondersCafe - And a Happy New Year to you too. Eye on the ball; must keep eye on the ball.
