The Author Intros: Writers, Editors, Agents Wanted!

Do you love books? Come and say hi!!!

I’ve been thinking lately… my entire twitter family is composed by writers (mostly).

This is not because I want to close myself off to the rest of the twitterverse. Rather, I’ve done it because I’ve never had ‘real life’ writer friends, not really. I don’t go to conferences or writing groups (just occasionally), so I’m mainly depending on Twitter, Goodreads, Facebook, and Google+ to stay updated about the Publishing world and to meet like-minded people.

Crazy Children, Monster Posts, & Awesome Blogs!

I'm coming to get you!!!

Here are my two pence on the topic of the ever-expanding blog-o-sphere…

There are times when I go through a dozen blogs per day (if not hour). And there are days when I don’t bother because I feel burnt out. This is why I rarely ever comment anymore (sincere apologies for that). If I had to comment on every post I ever read, I’d be spending my time online 24/7! Granted, I have done that several times in my life, but I’ve recently decided to try and find some balance.

Strange Saturday Snapshots

I OD'ed on social media. This is a cautionary tale.

This past week was pretty crazy. I blogged about a lot of things, added some stuff to my blog, updated my story blog (FINALLY) and made a mock-up book cover, joined a club, postponed buying plane ticket, and even joined Google+! So crazy that I (almost) had no time for life! *sigh*

So I think I snapped, which is why I'll keep words to a minimum today.

Thursday Tabs: Fun Updates and the Life List Club

Sadly, this post has nothing to do with frogs or madness. Rather, it’s one of those run-of-the-mill update posts. Feel free to go to your happy place for the next 350 words, but please come back for the last 250. I’ve added a cool announcement there.

Now, let’s get down to business.

(F4) Which One Are You: Writer or Artist?

(Meet Dan. Yes, he is crazy.)

Dan Cavallari is a man of many talents. Apart from being a freelance writer and photographer, he plays the guitar and has recently published his first novel called Confusing the Seasons, which is a bitter-sweet account of a man’s life after he had lost his wife. In addition, Dan makes the whole social media concept seem so easy, what with working, blogging, tweeting, and amassing a Facebook fanbase. 

Not too bad for a man who almost crashed his bicycle into a moose once.

The Following Obsession on Twitter

I have a very obsessive-compulsive personality. Whether it’s a TV show or Facebook or Twitter or blogging or plotting, I go all the way. I want to do it right so I probably do too much. My days basically melt away under the glaring eye of the screen.

I know, right? When do I live? I guess I do that in the winter when I’m way too lazy to be active online. Anyway, talk about obsession, I’ve noticed a common trend on Twitter, which I have suffered all the same. Of course, the first step of overcoming a problem is admitting that you have it. The second is to accept it will probably never go away. At best, you can tone it down.
