This is all part of an online media blitz I'm creating to draw attention to THIS, my call for submissions for my upcoming opera project! Basically, I'm going to be writing an opera about diabetes and I need a story. I don't want to be so narcissistic as to use my own story, so I'm asking the diabetes blogosphere to send me story suggestions - either their own, or ones they've read. From there, I'll take those stories and weave them into an exciting opera libretto!
I also posted the call for submissions on forums on two fantastic diabetes networking sites: TuDiabetes and Reality Check, as well as facebook and here! Since the call is hosted on my website, I've been able to track how many people have been looking - and it appears that the blitz is working!
Traffic on my site is up by 1571.43% this week! I don't know how they calculate that, but I like the excitement it gives me. I've had over a hundred views to the call itself, and lots of people seem to be checking out the rest of my site while they're there!
Long story short, the word is getting out there, and I'm starting to get submissions. Hopefully this is great start to a really successful collection of stories!
In conclusion, there is a lot of excitement around this initiative; certainly from me, but also from the diabetes blogosphere!
Stay tuned for new developments...
