200 UP!

No. It’s not a new, advanced, canned fizzy drink.

I am delighted to announce that I now have 200 followers of my blog. Today, Gipsika became my 200th follower. And a very interesting person she seems to be, so visit her blog to find out more about her. This is her own description of herself.

Lyz Russo (Gipsika)

Who am I?

I’m a writer, musician, mother and entrepreneur in South Africa. I’m also a loudmouth with foot-in-mouth disease, so if I offend you with a post or a comment, please forgive – it is probably unintentional. I comment a lot, so feel free to invite me to your blog if I haven’t yet found it.

When I started blogging in mid December 2014, my main objective was to promote my debut novel, Eleven Miles. Two weeks later, I set my New Year Resolutions for 2015, one of which was to end the year with over 100 followers. By mid-February, I had to review that resolution as I already had 92 followers. I set a new target of gaining over 250 followers by the end of 2015.

So I have three-and-a-half months left to pull in that final fifty. I think that is still a tough target, so don’t be shy in pointing some of your friends my way. To use what has become a cliche, “I am cautiously optimistic.”
