SOCIAL NETWORKING: AN AUTHOR'S BFF

I was always a fan of social networking but I am now a lover of this engine that connects so many people from different walks of life. There is a group for everything and everyone.
As a writer, I do not have many people surrounding me who can identify with this aspect of my life. As a newly published author, that number decreases. So I began reaching out in an effort to find my creative "clicks". And I did. The first group that I joined is on Facebook, followed by a few others. In fact, one of those groups is my link to goodreads. Would I have ever found goodreads without it? At some point, yes. But with social networking, I learned of it quickly and began researching the website. And now I am here!
I have also become a member of author and book groups on LinkedIn. Anywhere that I can connect with others is a great promotional opportunity for me. It also allows me to get ideas form writers/authors who are more seasoned than I am and apply their lessons to my current journey in bringing my work to the masses. I thank every last one of them (and you) for being an open book of knowledge and wisdom.
I LOVE SOCIAL NETWORKING!
