April Platform

Alright so I am following in my friend Sopphey's steps today and will be completing The April Platform challenge. Now this challenge is to get  viewers and readers for blogs for writers of all sorts. It's honestly hard to get your name out there even with the use of Twitter and Facebook. You can't always get these viewers for sure but what Robert Lee Brewer is doing is a fantastic way to take steps in the right direction. I am behind in this challenge by a few days but I think by making one post like Sopphey did i can catch up and make it easier for myself.

In this blog post today I will be writing my goals both long and short as well as my facebook and twiiter accounts.

This Platform Challenge I think will be a great way to market my poetry book.  Which btw is available to purchase. The Melanchy Spector is only on the kindle however. If you don't have a kindle you can buy Kindle PC by going here.

So here we go
