In a dramatic turn of events, TB has made major progress on the Lizzie book and the end is in sight. Hopefully this means she’ll stop whining about it.
Clare is still being cagey about telling anyone the title of her current work in progress. The anticipation is killing TB who isn’t known for being patient. As for Clare’s book, she’s unsure if it needs an epilogue. Will she or won’t she write one?
They turn to the topic: blogging. Being the nerdy historian, TB asks Clare if she remembers the first time she heard about blogging. Clare’s background in journalism helped her realize the power of blogging immediately, while TB didn’t see the point. TB has drastically changed her tune and now cherishes the connection blogging allows her to have with readers and she’s made friends all over the world. While both understand the importance of blogging, they have been somewhat scattershot when it comes to their author blogs and plan to do better in 2020. Because shocking news, readers like to read things. The question is, will the duo follow through on maintaining their blogs this year? Stay tuned!

Happy listening!
Clare and TB
Great Episode!
I’d always wanted to blog but had no idea what to blog about until I decided to start reviewing books, and then it turned into more of a vlog. It’s great having something to do that you have a passion about and that is more fulfilling than certain other things *work* and helps you to get a little closer to a career of your dreams. I’ve made great friends through my blog and wouldn’t change it for the world.
Hi Carol!
I agree with you about how rewarding it can be to have a blog/vlog about something you love doing. It doesn’t really feel like work and the friendships made along the way are the best perk.
Thanks for all that you do for lesfic!
TB
