March 4 question - Other than the obvious holiday traditions, have you ever included any personal or family traditions/customs in your stories?

I don't believe I have other than inserting tidbits from my personal life into the life of the character like loving m&ms or eating chips dipped in ketchup. I also set the scenes in places I have visited or lived such as a funeral home or an old barn.

Seeking Your Advice on Book Marketing

Because there are so many savvy bloggers here during the IWSG Blog Hop, I hope you will help me with overcoming the insecurity of marketing my memoir, Arranging a Dream. On this blog, I usually talk about tips on writing and feature authors' fiction. With the release of my memoir in June, I wonder if I should open a new blog about memoir writing and memoir reading.

Not only to focus on the June release of the memoir but also because I am a Life Storytelling evangelist! I established-- 

• a Facebook group, Telling Your Life Story and Memoirs Circle, 
• published a journal for life story writers, Your Words, Your Life Story: A Journal for Sharing Memories.  
• leading a workshop on Life Storytelling. 

The blog would be fun to write, but so time-consuming trying to keep 2 blogs afloat. Is it better to keep this blog as a hub for all my fiction and non-fiction books?

What do you think? I'd appreciate your feedback. Please leave a comment below.
