What is the point of a blog interaction?



Blogging is not a blind alley. This is not one-sided communication, either. The beauty of blogging is the trading opinions and when I see comments on my blog which is connected with a topic, I am happy. Sometimes other bloggers inspire me to open topics. They remind me of a different point of view, or of something I have forgotten.
What I will never do is invite people to comment on my posts. I am not a beggar or an attention whore. I respect other choices. If you find my topic interesting, be my guess. If I can make you smile, I won. If you think I am boring, you can avoid me.
I comment on blogs I consider interesting. Some people write with many emotions, which is my problem because I don’t know how to express emotions in the right way. Sometimes I sound angry, even I am sad in fact. Sometimes I sound vindictive, and I only want fair play.  Sometimes I don’t know what I really want. I feel lost in my labyrinth.
The point of real interaction is not “like for like”, “following for following”, “go there I have a free promotion for you.” If I invite you to dinner at my home, I don’t expect your invitation to dinner next time. I want you to enjoy dinner, and if you want to invite me, that is your will.


There is no more beauty than own will and freedom of thought. As I have Instagram, I see many people follow me there by their own choice. I can’t offer them money or promotion. I can offer them my view of life.
If blogging was a relationship, if I would force or beg someone to follow me, it would look like I am chasing a guy who is not interested in me. I am running, and he is laughing at me.
I am a woman with a strong attitude, and such a connection would be against my values. So if you follow me, do it of your own will.  I will not sell you a recipe “how to get a million followers in 24 hours. “
Once I read the excellent quote: “The same crowd which claps you today might crucify you tomorrow.” So beware of blind followers, who even don’t know what you write about.

How authors' profile should look like?

Inspired by Instagram, I am writing this post. Many authors want to get followers there using the option follow to follow. How much is this kind of following honest and why does it look like a manipulation? Imagine you are going shopping. The vendor says: "If you buy this, I will buy something from you." This is not how things work, isn't it? The same is with social engagement. If you want to follow someone, you will do because this profile is something that attracted your attention. Some authors need to be more informed about what the author's profile should be like. A basic belief about the author's profile: Book links. Book covers. Book presentations. No profile photos, no selfies, or memes. If you have a photo, let it be professional. Now, I found some links that want to earn by photographing authors.  Authors are people. It means we have our emotions, reactions, and imagination. The primary task of every author is to represent himself to readers. Here is what

My horror novel: The curse of Dark sunrise

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BY34C83J?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420 Writing in various genres is always challenging.  This is my journey in horror genre. My novel is coming soon. The blurb: Dark sunrise is a religious cult. They are gathering members. Their supporters are people from destroyed families or those who suffer from depression.  Ana is recruited in the community when she came on the party in Croatia.   She accept to involve with a leader Victor, but he has other plans. Kidnapping a Serbian politician was a wrong move. When the new woman in the community appears, rivalry starts. Check out my book in Amazon. 

5 kind of editors you can meet

When you are an indie author, you will need editing. That means you will hire an editor who should be professional, American or British. Sending your book to editing doesn't mean your job is over. If you take edited book for granted, you might be unpleasantly surprised. If you look on Amazon shelves, every second book has a comment about "bad editing". It happens even to successful writers.  What is important is to spend your money for editing in smart way. If you pay, you need to get edited book in return. The way how some editors work is various, and some of them might disappoint you. What kind of editors you can meet? Slow editor . You submitted your book for editing before two months, it still did not arrive. When you impatiently wait to publish your book, time is precious. Fast editor .
