It's hard enough to find time to write much less all the other stuff.<br /><br />However, Linda Lael Miller, whom I got to have tea with at her book signing in Ellensburg WA. (I worked with her brother :D) told me that facebook or myspace (if you have followers, this being more for the YA audience) can be used for web presence. Of course, she has her own blog, LOL<br /><br />It seems to be a personal preference how you do it, but most readers want to see an online presence, I think. Has that been other's experience as well?Leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786326364037397675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-64646566228366595622009-10-26T17:38:16.006-05:002009-10-26T17:38:16.006-05:00Brandy - apparently myspace is dead, so you're...Brandy - apparently myspace is dead, so you're safe on that end.

But I avoid MySpace like the plague unless one of the handful of people I have as friends there who aren't also on FB have something to say. And I really don't get Twitter either.<br /><br />But I love love love Facebook. But maybe that's because I connected with cousins I never knew I had and we've become fast friends. :)Tori Lennoxhttp://www.torilennox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-4774075739338781962009-10-26T10:06:05.466-05:002009-10-26T10:06:05.466-05:00I am so with you on this.

I fully admit I spend too much time checking out blogs during the day, but once I get home at night, I almost never look at a blog other than the one I'm on. And even then not so much.<br /><br />I'm on Facebook and do like to check once or twice a day to see what's up with friends. Of course, I also have *friends* on there I've never heard of or met. But I like Facebook because it stays right there and if a convo happens on a status, I can see it all in one place. <br /><br />Twitter is much too scattered, so I only check there maybe twice a week. I have no idea how some people on there get anything done. There are people who are on there every minute that they're awake. What's up with that?!Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-75157935952774736652009-10-26T09:19:57.591-05:002009-10-26T09:19:57.591-05:00I have a short attention span, so I need things li...I have a short attention span, so I need things like twitter, blogs and email to keep me writing. I write a section, a play, I edit, then I play. It's my system.<br /><br />I dont' myspace/facebook, but I do twitter. As with eveyrthing else, you either get/use twitter or you don't. I use it everday, but it just didn't work for how my cp likes to function, I suppose you could say.Keri Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342480359177235075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-12814357035435449022009-10-26T07:47:11.601-05:002009-10-26T07:47:11.601-05:00Great post!

Unfortunately, that does mean FB and MySpace and probably even twitter (even though I don't get that one). So how do we find the time to do all this and still write, write, write? How about family? We seem to be spending less and less time together. <br /><br />Here's what I've decided to do. I'm going to treat all of it like a job. I have to show up between such and such time and then I punch out. The rest of my day is completely family time with no interruptions! But within that job I still have to compartmentalize, don't I? Now I have to break it down even further and that's just taking up too much of my time...again. Plus I still have to squeeze in my day job. Okay, I give up!<br /><br />ElleElle J Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242732693777191481noreply@blogger.com
