Thanks to everyone who visited Tuesday for Jemi's post about successful blogging. She is amazing.
There are a couple other bloggers doing it right, too:
Elana Johnson
She has over 1000 followers and her posts garner over 100 comments each. She replies to all of them, too! I am in awe...
Alex J. Cavanaugh
He's a new blogger, but barely two weeks ago he had 30 followers - now he has over 60! And he generates 20-30 comments per post.
Arlee Bird
He threw out an A-Z Blogging Challenge that not only increased his traffic, but those participating are enjoying great success as well.

Wrapping up my virtual tour for Book V this week! Which is good - after four weeks, the Spunky is out of things to say.
There's two book giveaways still in process - La Femme Readers and Find Your Next Book Here - feel free to sign up. (I'd love it if one of my bloggy buddies won.) And Friday boasts the final two stops - a Writers in the Sky Podcast and an interview at A Novel Journey. The podcast is 30 minutes long - and it was the second take! Yvonne's machine stopped recording the first time, so we had to do a take two on Monday.
Thanks to everyone who hosted me on this tour and those who have offered me a chance to visit their site in the future!

The 'monthly' newsletter for The Circle of Friends will go to bi-monthly after April. However, I will continue to feature another author (preferably YA but will consider others) in each newsletter - and the slot for April is still open. If you are an author with a book that appeals to teens and adults, please contact me!

The last odd...
The next two weeks, Spunky will be on the road - a lot. I have (starting tonight) three full seminars, three administrative professionals appreciation luncheons/dinners, a TV program to tape in Greenville SC, and a book festival. So during these two weeks, Spunky will be cutting back on her blogging and commenting because I will be physically unable to do it all. Followers new and old, don't give up on me though! After the 22nd, I will return full force and with some changes to Spunk on a Stick's Tips.
Thanks everyone!

Thank you, everyone! Yes, I try to remember the journey is just as much fun. Sometimes it's just a bit overwhelming.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. Have a safe trip and when you come to Greenville, think of me! :D
Thanks for the mention. I'm really not how the follower explosion happened, either.
Happy trails!
