WHO WINS?

Blog City Prompt: Do you believe the adage that bad news sells better than good news? Do you find yourself getting more response to negative posts than positive ones?

On the Main Stream Media I'd have to say that BAD NEWS wins the day---everyday. The bad news sells and it keeps their jobs and the advertising. And even if it's fake bad news designed to keep you nervous, they never question the source or the credibility.

(Do you?)

I find that I get the most and best response from my good news or positive story. If the piece is gloomy (like today), I try to put some kind of positive wrap-up so you don't leave all bummed out.

My good news today: Someone ordered another print copy of Apex Project. The royalties are lovely! And Lulu automatically sends a thank you note from me. That's cool.

I think I'm becoming a blogger because I've done six blog posts this week. And I put up three chapters or my novel to WyRM for review.

No bad news...>>>iggy
