Everything you wanted to know about New Adult...

Sorry if I flood your inbox this week with extra posts, but I wanted to let you know about a guest post I'm doing. February is reader month over at NALitChat blog, and they posted an article I wrote. You can see it here . They've also asked me to host #NALitChat this week. We chat on Twitter every Thursday evening at 9:00 PM EST using the afore-mentioned hashtag.

IWSG – Swim The Social Media Pool... Without Drowning

Modern authors need to feel confident about more than just writing. Marketing and social media participation is a must, and we need to be conscious of our online persona. For my IWSG post this month, I decided to address social media venues and habits, with an emphasis on things to do and things to avoid. I hope you’ll find something helpful. I’ll start off with Twitter .

Random Stuff & Social Media

I thought I'd take a little detour from discussing the craft per se and talk about random stuff — my life, social media, my writing goals and the like. Skim the icons and read what interests you. It's the middle of July. My son, the one with autism, has a half-day class for the next few weeks designed to work on his social skills and prepare him for middle school. His twin will be transferring to middle school, too, but from a home school setting. (Yup. I'm one of those weird homeschool moms.) In about six weeks, all three kids will be in public school, at the same time, for the first time in four years — my oldest a freshman in high school! I will miss them, but I will have some peaceful days to write. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
