Ask/Submit Permanently Shut Down
Why did I turn off your ask/submit button?
This blog has grown beyond my wildest dreams and I’m so grateful to each of my followers. One of my favorite things to do is talk with fellow fans, however the size of the blog has made it very difficult to keep up with my inbox. At last count my inbox had over 700 messages. About 60% of my messages are simply comments on posts I’ve written. The amazing Eman has installed Disqus on my blog, so that both followers and anonymous can comment on posts. Those that wish to remain anonymous can ask questions on Disqus as well. There is no word limit on Disqus. My goal is to start a dialogue among fans, which Disqus will enable, while allowing me to respond to comments and questions when necessary. This new format will free me up to write metas & reviews, which is the focus of the blog.
How To Contact Me
Disqus is your best option. I am constantly reviewing posts and Disqus comments and responding when necessary. It’s an amazing addition to the blog. It really facilitates ongoing conversations.
Fan Mail:
If you are a follower, you can still send me fan mail, which will be how I message privately between friends & followers.
Twitter: Twitter is a great way to chat with me. It’s fast & easy and I’m on it all the time.
*** I’m still going through the 700+ messages in my inbox. I appreciate your continued patience as I clean up my inbox.
I think that covers it! I sincerely hope you enjoy the changes and that they make Something To Live For more entertaining!!! I am so excited about the updates. I now have the blog of my dreams.
