Twitter and FB
I've often wondered about FaceBook, Twitter, tweeting and all the sweet stuff that goes with social media. I've come to realize there's no end to how much you can do. Go overboard and sometimes you can't undo it either.
The key is to find balance, sustainability and a way to endure so that the manuscript you are working on doesn't suffer. I'm still looking for that balance... any ideas?

Social Media
OK... I admit it took a while but I just figured out how to connect Twitter and FB so that when I tweet it's on my Author page only... and not on my profile page.
Kristen Lamb's book got me up and going to figure it out now. There's still a lot to do and understand by I'm taking baby steps and hopefully will get there soon.
Writing and rewriting a book was hard enough... but now to have to do all this? Hmmm... what next?

Jhumpa Lahiri
Hi,
A friend 'pinged' me on Facebook 2 nights ago to tell me she'd read DUTY AND DESIRE and had a review running on her blog.
This took a while to sink in. I clicked on the blog link and learned the book was the 'Book of the Week'. Not only did she love the characters and get absorbed in the story, she compared my work to Jhumpa Lahiri when we chatted later.
OMG! Jhumpa Lahiri!! She's a NYT Bestselling author AND a prize-winning author.
Here's the review... I'll let you decide for yourself while I continue to sit in shock!

Restructure
Hi,
Have you ever been in a situation where you read the same sentence again and again... and still can't make sense of it? I have. I am in that situation.
I wrote a paragraph of description and I'm re-reading what I wrote. Then I look at the copy editor's comments and think to myself 'No wonder she didn't get what I was saying!' You see, neither do I.
I'm trying hard to figure out how to say it better, cleaner, neater and in a polished way so that the readers *gets it* with just one read.
So I'm diving back to the manuscript... after browsing, hopping on over to Twitter, FB, and other pages... to fix what needs fixing.
Wish me luck!
