The Blue Dot Situation: An Update

Since my post two weeks ago about acquiring some blue dots in Hawaii, I’ve gotten three of them! Woohoo! I’ve also secured a blue dot in Alaska and one in Nevada. There have been some other states, too. Now let's hope they multiply!

I’m finding that it’s really fun to watch the dots appear up and down the east coast. There’s a huge amount of them in Gettysburg, obviously, and then they filter north, south, and west from there. For that reason, it occurred to me that I should perhaps choose another location and see if I can make the same thing happen in another part of the country.

I’ve decided to gain followers in Chicago.

At this point in time, I have one reader in Chicago. I have no idea who s/he is, but I’m glad s/he exists. My hope is to gain additional readers in Chicago over the next two weeks. If you have friends in that area, please tell them about my website and encourage them to read my serial novella, my blog, or both!

If you’re wondering why I’ve settled on Chicago, there are a couple reasons. The first is largely because of its location. With any luck, when I post an update two weeks from now, there will be several blue dots in Chicago and some additional dots floating up to Wisconsin and Michigan… and maybe further down into Illinois and over to Indiana as well. Won’t that be fun?

My other reason is because I generally love the Chicago series. Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago PD… I know Chicago Justice didn’t last, but I think Dick Wolf should consider Chicago Public (life in the schools; Wallace Boden’s already married to an educator!) and Chicago Vet (the veterinarians could treat PD’s K-9 unit in a crossover event). It’s just an idea.

Here’s my problem: I don’t really have any Chicago connections. Do you? And if you do, are you willing to use them?

Thanks in advance! You guys are the best. As always, I appreciate your support and your willingness to read my writing! Without readers like you, there’d be no point to write… and writing is what I love most. ❤️
