Yes, please.

You may not know this about me, but I’m a big nerd. In this context, that means that I take a lot of classes—writing seminars, self-publishing courses, author marketing workshops, and more. A recent online class I took iterated how much your 4- and 5-star reviews on Amazon mean to The Algorithm. So, here I am pleading with my friends and followers: Please leave a short review on Amazon.

Row House Publishing (a group you should check out!) put together this informative slideshow for Instagram.

And then…

On the way to work recently, I was listening to Bruce Feiler read his endlessly fascinating book "The First Love Story: Adam, Eve, and Us" when he said this in the book. I had a coffee spit take!

(Memo to lovers of writers: They, er, we, like positive feedback!)

Yes, we do. We live for the positive feedback.

And then Bruce Feiler responded!

Thank you for sharing. You're good at what you do. #keepwriting

Very cool. Interacting with one’s heroes always makes for a good day.
