Just a quick update….

I’ve been learning more and more about social networks and how to make them useful in your life. For authors, social networks are a great place to meet with friends and readers and share what is a good part of our lives: reading books. It can be as important as joining a writing group (see earlier post). Eventually such interaction leads to book pages and such, but it starts with being yourself and connecting with people who like books and writing as much as you do.

So, I’ve joined Goodreads, and I’ve already met some interesting people and been introduced to new books.  You’ll find I’ve started reviewing some of these, too.  If you’re a member, look under R.J. Minnick.

You’ll see some familiar words, as these blog entries also post over there. You’ll also get an idea of what I like to read, what I’m reading, and what I think is good. If you’re there, maybe I can get an idea of what you like. Next to writing and writing about writing, I like writing about reading. Please stop by and say hi. I’ll be back and forth a lot.
