Wednesday, March 16, 2011 High School - Poca High School, Putnam County, WV What year was it? Fall 1960 - Spring 1963 What were your favorite bands, or singers? Sam Cook, Chubby Checker, Conway Twitty (It's only make believe), Johnny Rodriquez. Meatloaf. ELvis. What was your favorite outfit? Straight skirts, blouses, cardigans or jackets, little heels. Other Outfits? Jeans and a white Dr. Ben Casey shirt. What was up with your hair? Everything. I put peroxide on it. Lemon juice, thinking it needed to be lighter. I cut it, styled it, put it in a pony tail or a french twist. Hair was the most important thing in my life in high school. And hair spray, the stiffer the better. Who were your best friends? Patti Jones, Karen Mattox, and Susie Bailey all thru elem school. Then added on Donna Dailey, Sharon "Mouse" Hackett and Janice Wick and many others. Also Bonnie Kerwood who was older than me and lived near me so we hung out listening to records after schoo
You look great! Good to see you signing "Vada Faith" -- I enjoyed reading it very much...
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! Glad you had a good time. Tamarack is a very unique place to visit.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you enjoyed reading VF.
ReplyDeleteAnd Janet I did have a great time.
Thanks for commenting, both of you!
I'm having trouble getting comments and/or readers
Wow, you sure were decked out for that signing... looking good! I have FINALLY started reading your book. (I bought it right after it launched.) So far, I'm really enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteAs far as having trouble getting readers/comments, I think most bloggers, especially if they follow a lot of blogs, have to prioritize and to some extent, end up limiting their interaction to those bloggers who visit THEIR blog and leave comments. Have you been visiting other blogs and leaving comments? I wish there were an easier way to up your readership and comments, but if there is one, I don't know what it is. (Get famous, maybe?)
Barb, you look very successful author-ish! Did you buy something new, or go with what you already had? As for getting readers and comments, it takes time to build readership. There are classes you can take to learn about how to drive more readers to your site. I've never tried it, just keep on writing and enjoying those who do come by. I'll add you to my blogroll and that might bring a few more people your way.
ReplyDeleteYep, got something new. Since I've been retired my wardrobe has only jeans and shirts! So it was necessary.
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding me to your blogroll. Blessings.
Hi Barb! I started to comment, then it disappeared! Hope this one makes it....You look fabulous signing books..very professional! Hope your Christmas was good and I hope your hubby is doing OK and all goes well with his pacemaker. Enjoy the weekend and have great success in 2013 with your writing.
