so, i was feeling rather crappy about the fact that i’ve done nothing but blog. and to top that off, i was so unsure about the dang blog i wrote on giveagirl that i posted the first comment on it to explain what i was really trying to say…
anyway, i was starting to think that blogging was futile, until i came across this!
now, (on top of my daily word goal i just commented about on my ‘it’s 1 pm…’ post), i have two new goals.
plus, a brand-new sense of confidence. YAY for me, right?!?!??
goal #1:: blog, blog, blog. possibly blog my work. maybe i’ll do a serial blog of my first book. we’ll see…
goal #2:: (and this is the cool one!) start a twitter for my MC. i had promised myself that i would stay away from twitter at all costs. but, after a blog that led me to a blog that led me to the one i linked ya’ll to, i’ve changed my mind.
thing is, i’ve no clue how to go about it. but, if people can get interested in my girl, and i can learn more about her by getting into her head every day, that would certainly help my writing, right?!?!?? it’d have to!!!
i’m a bit OCD, and i have a strong feeling that if i get so completely involved in alexis’ life, that i’ll have no choice but to sit down and write her story. i’ll want anything and everything to be about her. then, voila, my book will be done. (hey, i can hope, right? 
)
so, i guess the point of all of this rambling is
A) to send ya’ll to the link, &
B) to ask for advice on twitter. because i’ve never gone near the site before and don’t have a clue as to what it’s all about.
any help would be sublime =)

want email updates?
Eden, I have no idea about twitter – but I’ll venture into with you. Another time stealing thingy….building up that platform. I’ve been avoiding it. Time is sooooo precious.
I knew a platform was important, but I guess I didn’t realize how important it is.
I did a google search of myself and actually saw results towards the top of the first page (and on the 4 subsequent pages—I didn’t look past that for older things). That made me realize that if I’ve already made my name and work available without knowing it, I could do so much more if I actually try!!
I need to google my book title, as well. See what pops up…
I did do a search a while ago on a particular site that has all book titles ever, and no one has published one with my title. yay!
So, are you doing a twitter page for yourself? Or your MC?
lmk. either way, it’ll be good to learn it together =)
I am not sure yet. i will have to investigate further into the whole twitter to see what i think i could manage more.
it is amazing, how once you begin to put youself out there things can roll. I noticed it myself.
