As writers, trying to build a fanbase, we need to learn how to create synergy, relationships, and dialog with our readers. Personally, I think people care more about being heard than they do about listening. So one of the best roads to marketing yourself is to give people a stake in what you offer.

Loving, living, writing, art, family, friends, music, and books. Us and our small corner of the world. Because, as we all know, the world is square. For only a square world has corners.
What a great idea, love it.
