I'm just at the start of all the craziness--in fact, I'm not even really in it yet. My book doesn't come out til next spring, but this is so good, I'm bookmarking it to I can go back and read later. And the stuff about social media is so applicable even to non-writers. It's very love-hate with social media. It can be helpful and fun, but it can also suck HOURS out of your day. Arg!!! Thanks for the tips and advice!

For me it isn't hard to say no because saying no is hard, it's because it's all SO MUCH FUN. I love every opportunity that being a published author has brought my way! I wish I could be mercenary enough to make judgements based on "will this sell my book," but since we are not so sure what actually impacts this, it becomes a quality of life issue. You say no to spend time with your kids but my nest is long empty. My desire to say YES!-YES!-YES! means balance is a daily fight. Because I am a meticulous writer, my biggest time suck is blogging. I can easily spend 6-8 hours on one post. That's why I've been sticking to guest posts—if I kept my own blog going that would be a full time job! (Bowing down to the WITS blog mistresses here! You rock!).

Facebook. It's hard, very hard, to keep myself from checking in because of the communities: WFWA, my sailing buds, online friends who write blog posts like this one. I'm trying... but then a word gets stuck, I decide to look it up, and it's an easy slide into the addiction because email and Facebook are just one click away. One click, that's all it takes...

That is so unlike you (except for the Pinterest). When you were here, spinning in circles, you would go for a bike ride. Is there any equivalent for you to do that there?

My biggest time suck: Thinking about what I should be working on rather than doing it. I call it productive procrastination. Or obsessive organization.
