Inklings left a comment recently on one of my posts, in which she pointed out that most of our family has either written a book, is in the process, or at least want to write one. I finished 12 or 13 chapters of mine before I realized that I couldn't even get my own daughters to read my book, not even the one who reads things besides the Twilight series.
Since that realization, I have not touched that book in any creative way. It is true that it was also about that time that I got the internet, and started logging into both Facebook and Blogger, but I was still considerably discouraged. How could I hope to sell a book to a publisher that my own children, who fit into the target audience, avoid reading?

Go in to the "settings" of your blog. Go to comments. Scroll down and you will see an option to get email notifications about comments that you get. That way you will know if you have comments without having to add to your site meter. ;)
I already have that. Adding to my site meter makes me feel better! :o)
I have found that the best way to increase traffic to your blog is to read other blogs and comment there. I usually find other blogs by checking out the blogs of people who comment.
I am already following more people than I have commenting, so I will just keep doing what I do....
Hey, I'm doing my part, I'm reading every day. :0) Even when you don't post. :0s
Don't give up on the book. If you finish it, you will always have that regardless of whether anyone reads it or not. I still believe I will publish my book. I can already see it as a movie. By the way, have you read mine?
