I do enjoy social media, actually. I thought I wouldn't, but once I got the blog going and the Facebook and Google+ (totally overlooked by so many people!) and Twitter more established, I find that I get a lot out of it! Like you said, it's a break from the writing, and after the intensity of NaNoWriMo I had in November, I was more than happy to delve into Facebook again.

Hey, Laura and WITS folks. Love your take on the SM/writing contest. As in everything, it's always our attitude. I do love blogging--my own and others. Janet, I do use Twitter for promotion. Frankly, I don't know if it leads to sales, but if you remember the first rule of SM is relationships, then I think it does help as does FB. 🙂

I so appreciate blogging. I can try out ideas and styles. One of the things I discovered is how much of my humor comes through, especially in the short pieces. And because of that, I've remembered to work more of that humor into my book writing. I also grew up in a storytelling family and that extends into my own life. I tell stories. And like you, I appreciate having such a wide range of people and writing in my life. And while I spend less time on Facebook and Twitter than blogging, I really like having that window onto the world from my desk. I've avoided posting blog links to Twitter because Twitter seems more a media/political site than a promotional media, but I'd like to hear what you think. Do you promote on Twitter?
