Michael, thanks for your comment! I was going to reply here, but then it turned into an epic post! And yes, you should DEFINITELY try Russian again. I'm not even joking, I would totally teach you Russian.

Yay! Thanks for your response, Zsuzsi. I am probably going to start a finance blog on a subdomain and I’ll definitely let you know when it’s up.

Thanks for the nice review! Let me say one thing about the Russian class: I’m certain that everyone writes in cursive eventually, but I’m also certain that teaching it in the first six weeks of a Russian 101 class along with everything else is bad teaching practice. A first or second semester Russian student probably has much bigger concerns than whether or not they would be considered literate by Russians. Again: if the professor wanted me to learn cursive Cyrillic at the start, I would have, but only if it were one of the few things that we were doing. Also remember that I was (am) an adult with a full-time job, so cramming in study whenever I could. Maybe it’s normal to start Russian that way — did you?
Again, thanks for the review. Should I try Russian again?
Michael

I personally find finance quite boring BUT I’d read the posts since it’s a whole new area to explore, whether they would be posted here or somewhere else.

Hi Lisa! Thanks for your comment. I will definitely let you know when I finish my spy thriller – I will have a lot of free time this summer, so I hope to get a lot done then.

Hi, Natalie! I’m so glad you’re participating in Blogathon. I’ve been perusing your posts and, of course, had to read this one! It’s great to get a little glimpse into you and your past.
I think that many writers tend to gravitate toward either fiction or non-fiction as a main type of writing, but often do both. I know I’m primarily a non-fiction writer but the inkling of a fiction piece came to me the other day. We’ll have to see where it goes.
Do get busy on your spy thriller — I’d love to read it!

Comment on Be Honest: If I Wrote a Book, Would You Read It? by Natalie

Thanks so much for the feedback! I definitely plan to make my book available on Kindle, and it won’t be expensive – I’m not certain, but it’ll probably be under $5 (and mostly likely closer to $3).

I’ve heard that blogging is a great way to build an author platform. It makes sense, as (hopefully) my readers like my writing and will therefore eventually buy books that I write!
