Robin Layne's Blog: From the Red, Read Robin - Posts Tagged "glitch"

Tonight I tried to add a few things to my basic profile information: My new blog address (though I'll keep this one going, too, with a different emphasis), and the news about my earning my editing certificate (see previous blog entry). Goodreads wouldn't let me save the changes because, it said, my Influence list was too long. I hadn't even changed my Influences list. I hadn't even touched it. And no matter what I did, I got the same message. I had to give up making the changes. I'm reminded of a shirt I once had (until it got stolen). It said "Computer Wizard and the Glitch." The Glitch was a little monster sitting on the wizard's shoulder.

Speaking of monsters, my friend Francis Franklin let me know about a contest (or it was originally a contest; I don't think now that it has winners, unless everyone nominated is a winner) called the Vampire Lover Blog Award. People were asked, If you could ask a vampire one thing, what would it be? Actually, some people submitted more than one question, but all 29 questions submitted are available to choose from by any vampire who wishes to respond by picking and answering 11. Being a writer of vampire stories, I was immediately interested, and I submitted a question and told Francis my Carletta was aching to talk. Soon I had four vampires lined up and wrote all their interviews in Word files. But someone was missing. Ah,then I remembered, the new kid on the block. I will post them all in the order I wrote them--but not on this blog, because it won't let me attach special images to my blog, and it's part of the rules to post the logo of the contest on your blog. So I started a new blog on Wordpress.com. Here it is, with 11 things about myself to start and then my first interview with a vampire: robinlayneauthor
