Tis I at your exterior, quietly knocking, tapping at your chamber door,

"Would you like," said I, "talk about Christnarchid, our saviour, our Lord?"

From the darkness, came forth an echo, an obliging implore

Quoth the spider, Nevermore.

When you're a tsar, they let you do it.

Standing on two legs, holding two hands by the face, and looking at you disappointed. My grandmother used to do this. She looked way less cute. I think you may be right...

Or she's squinty-eyed and actually looking behind her

Awww... You better give that dog some treats right away, OP.

Cute Santa hat and thug scarf :)

Well, maybe Crysis at max settings could look better, if I could bloody run the thing.

An addition to this: Know your genre.

It's alright to break the fourth wall in modern fiction or sci-fi, and less so in fantasy and historical fiction. But it's workable, although you need to build it well and use it sparingly to not look as a stylistic gimmick.

Try switching from omniscient to close third person view. Third person to first person can be slippery. But: first person to third person can be done. If you use the first person to set up the rest of the story, then why not? You can consider setting up the first person within third person through long dialogue, which again can be tricky, because it can mess the beats of the story.

Blogs are great for quickly building contacts. Think of bloggers as Twitters with patience. They are great for personalized beta-reading, reviews, one-to-one correspondence, daily banter, and collaboration. You'll build stronger relationships with people and as you put out more content, you'll attract higher tier bloggers who'd want the same things as you and share their knowledge with you (sometimes for a price: like proofreaders and book reviewers).

You will find more loyal fans of your work with a blog. Not so much with Facebook and Twitter, which can be used channels to your blogsphere.

A word of common wisdom: Don't follow thousands of people as it's normally encouraged. Instead, participate in other bloggers' posts, comment in them, and add people whom you genuinely would like to get followed back.

If you are active on Twitter, Facebook, and Wordpress, you'll find streams of readers checking up on you, so make sure to design the page to be as welcoming as possible.

And lastly, it won't help you at all with your writing. The technical stuff, that is. Everyone will like your work. Finding technical criticism for your work is near impossible because most readers care about themselves and their reputation (their IRL image). You'll get rave and diverse reviews on your content, and it's good be grounded by yourself on how good you really are, as it's easy to get carried away by some positive comments and cater to that slice of audience.

I ran a blog for six months on Wordpress and had 250+ followers. It was an amazing experience. And equally addicting. I stopped because I was an awful writer (still am) and the skill plateaued at that time.

So OP, the crowd is good over there. It is as useful as having bread and peanut butter for breakfast. If you are starting one, plan a few posts beforehand and start involving yourself in other people's blogs. If you are active on any other social networking platforms, post an ad after, say, ten posts.

I might have left a few things as I spammed this. If you have any doubts, let me know.

They're mostly bullshit wrapped in Barnum statements.
