So I am not a user of the Net socially. I use it for research, I know my way around a forum, and I have an orange belt in Google-akida. But no twitter, Facebook, etc.
OK, the amazon author's forum (a rough neighborhood as forums go) universally touts blogs as the way to go to keep your books in the limelight.
So I started a blog, and linked it to my books and author page. I have a few loyal fans of my works following me.
The thing is that I have no idea what to post. I'm like the teenager who finally talks his girlfriend into the bushes and then realizes he had never thought the entire business through.
I've posted updates on my various projects as I have several trilogies and series going, but that's a post or two a month. I look at other bloggers (not authors) and they are cranking out stuff every day.
Can someone tell me the basic expectations of an author's blog? Keeping in mind that I have never followed a blog in my life.
I've googled this various ways, and gotten nowhere.
