Dear readers,
It’s now been a year since I started blogging on Doorway Between Worlds. When I first started this journey, I had a vague hope that somebody out there would read my posts (and maybe even enjoy them). Everything that has happened since then has far exceeded my expectations, and it’s all thanks to you!
This past year has been an incredible experience. What started as an experiment in writing creative posts to help others with communication has evolved into a wonderfully collaborative effort. I have met so many wonderful people. I have participated in fascinating conversations that have sparked new ideas and brought new energy to my writing.
Thank you for being such an amazing community of readers. Next month’s 26 alphabet posts for the April A to Z Blogging Challenge are dedicated to you. 🙂
So what’s happening after April? Here’s where I need your help.
Those of you who have followed for a while know that the focus of the blog has changed a bit over time. I’ve expanded the types of posts I have written about to try and meet the needs of my readers while keeping myself motivated to write.
Once the April challenge is over, I’m thinking about further changes to DBW. And I want to hear what you think. If you’d like to help me plan for a successful second year, please take a couple of minutes to answer today’s four poll questions.
With gratitude,
Sue

Have other ideas for what you’d like to see? Please share!
I didn’t vote in the genre poll… I’m curious about mysteries and thrillers, although I almost never read them. I don’t understand the appeal of written romance, but I suspect I’m in the minority.

Thanks for the feedback, PDC! It’s good to hear about everyone’s interests so I can find out what makes sense to write about. I don’t think you’re alone on the romance front. I enjoy a good romance, but there are so many bad ones…

Congrats for 1 yr of blogging!
Looking forward to reading your fiction!
Variety is th spice of life, bt then again, I experimented TOO MUCH w different subjects before settling on SF – this probably put off would-be Followers; I certainly wldn’t b “horribly betrayed” w anything u choose to do!
Don’t worry: DBWs doesn’t need much twiddling anyway – fine & dandy th way it is.
Cheers!
