More Cowbell Mash-up #1

Welcome to the 1^st installment of the “More Cowbell Mash-up!”

It all started about one month ago with a dynamic teacher named Kristen Lamb. She started teaching a group of authors on the Write it Forward loop about How To Build Their Brand.

A bunch of writers went from having no blogsites, or (treachery!) a blogsite without their name in lights, to populating the blogosphere with all kinds of fun, exciting blogs WITH THEIR NAMES and kickass taglines prominently displayed.

Don’t take my word for it, I’ll let Kristen do the blog-flog herself with More Blogging Cowbell, her post from last Wednesday.

Before you ask, yes “More Cowbell” came up in class – we’re funny people, we like funny stuff, okay? And yes, we all decided that was the only name for my blog. (Kristen lusted over it, but she’s already got Warrior Writer and WANA and THE Kristen Lamb brand behind her, so she generously ceded the Cowbell beauty to her student. Lucky me.).

Look at all the other beautiful blogs that shine even brighter after our March class:

Michele Blaker – http://micheleblaker.wordpress.com/
Jen Greyson – http://www.thesurvivalmama.com/
PJ Kaiser – http://pjkaiser.com/
Grace H. Lewis – http://sweetdreamsflyingmachines.wordpress.com/
Pamela Mason – http://www.writermason.blogspot.com/
Danielle Meitiv – http://daniellemeitiv.com/
Shellie Sakai – http://shelliesakai.wordpress.com/
Amy Shojai – http://amyshojai.com/
Damian Trasler – http://dtrasler.com/

There are some more stellar blogs in the works now, but above are some of the finished beauties. Everyone has great titles for their blogs but I think Damian’s won the development hilarity prize with Damian Trasler’s Secret Blog – Do Not Read! (don’t be shy, of course you must read it…it’s fantastic)

I’ll go further afield in next Monday’s More Cowbell Mash-up but for this first one, I really wanted to give the shout out to my new #authorbrand pals. This site literally would not be here in it’s current lovely state without each of you, especially our fearless leader.

Note: If you’re wondering why I threw that hashtag in the previous paragraph, you definitely need to read this immediately!

I’ll see you here tomorrow for Techie Tuesday. In the meantime, I’d LOVE to see some of your favorite sites in the comments.

Till tomorrow,
Jenny
