You and I probably have never met. Yet,
because you read my blog posts I think you may be a little like me:
CONSIDERATE—You consider others’
feelings, not just your own. You wouldn’t knowingly hurt someone’s feelings.
You probably have strong feelings about child abuse and mistreating innocent
pets.
SENSITIVE—You sense others’ problems.
You notice if a friend is worrying about something and you’re willing to help
them any way you can.
POSITIVE—Oh, I hope you are a positive
thinker. I believe positive thinkers have a better chance at happiness. I said chance. I’m not promising a bed of roses
if you think positively. But it sure doesn’t hurt to try.
HOPEFUL—As my blog heading above says,
I try to scatter hope as I go along my journey. I hope you try to do the same.
ENTHUSIASTIC—When Jesus was rounding up
his apostles, we’re told in the Bible that the men didn’t stop to ponder or
wonder if they should, they just dropped what they were doing and followed
Jesus. They were glad to follow Him. They became enthusiastic about Jesus’
cause. I try to show my enthusiasm.
SENSE OF HUMOR—Yes, I love to laugh. I
enjoy others’ laughter. I like good clean jokes (and I have one in each of my
newsletters). We’d do well to lighten up on our journey through this life. All
work and no play …….
PATIENT—This is one I work every day to
improve. No matter what you do, some days try your patience to the point of
losing it. I have times like that but I try to be quick to recognize it and to
ask God to forgive me and help me in the future.
Well, in how many of the above are we
alike? You may be wondering what kind of Thursday blog this is and just what my
point is. Well, you and I may have similar traits that cause us to look at
things somewhat alike.
In my writing anyone can probably find
most of the above. I promise you that in my debut novel, That Summer, you’ll find
all the good traits listed above. The opposite of the things listed above are
also in my novel. Nobody is all good or all bad all of the time. I encourage
you to read That Summer and find
out which of my characters you like and which you don’t like. And maybe those
you may start out not liking will become likable and vice versa.
If you haven’t read my novel yet and
would be willing to be an influencer for it, please let me know in a comment
below and I’ll include your name in a drawing for five winners of a free paperback copy. What is an influencer? That’s someone who
reads and enjoys a book and is willing to post a 2-3 sentence review of the
book on the book’s page at online bookstores, specifically Amazon.com, Barnes
& Noble.com, and CBD.com.
In your reviews never give away the end of the
book (in reviews of That Summer—don't give away the endings of Part I and Part II). Since my novel is a new release, please put up your reviews soon after you finish reading the book. If you are an influencer, read
the book, and don’t enjoy it you need not do anything.
Those of you who have already read That
Summer and enjoyed it, I’d appreciate it if you’d write a short review
and post it on the book’s page at online bookstores.
So there you have it—this strange
Thursday post. Please let me hear from you in the comment section below. I will
draw five winners from the names of
you who comment saying you would be willing to be an influencer for That
Summer. Thank you for being willing to do that.
Till next time … keep on smiling.
Jo, I would love to be an influencer for you.

Pam, thank you for saying you'd be willing to be an influencer for my novel. I appreciate your being a follower.
DeleteI too would love to be an influencer for you. However, I will also tell you that I have 2 1/2 books to read and review before I could start on "That Summer" if I am selected. Of course by the time I would receive the book I will already have the one book finished and reviewed. So, if you think this is acceptable please throw my hat in the ring. You can also check out my reviews on Amazon under (Sunshine) Judy K Burgi.
