Topics to discuss during blog writing class:

1. How do you get people to know about your blog and your book?
I get everyone’s email address wherever I go. I have 3,000 collected. I also do guest blogging on blogs like Jewcy.com. I read lots of blogs, link to them and comment on them. I am an adjunct professor at FIU. My friend Ariel Gore says you should say your blog is popular in another country. You can ask other bloggers to “blog roll” you. A personal phone call works too.

2. Can you talk about the sponsorship you got from the store on Lincoln Road?
They said I could do a reading if I wore their clothes. I got a lot of cool stuff!

3. How do you know the things you write are funny?
If they make me laugh, then I don’t care.

4. Do you have any tips for writing humor, in general?
Make yourself laugh!
