Other forms of media.

So who missed me yesterday? I was commenting but had to do some revisions to my baby and the kids are sick again so I have not been sleeping.  I also joined a book club, so I was trying to finish the book.  I talk more about that on Friday. I have made a decision that I am going to try and post three days a week.  If I post more--yeah-- but I need to really concentrate on my revisions plus I thought I would have more time to come up with some awesome posts.  I will try and comment everyday though.  So you haven't gotten rid of me yet :)

Some contest info:

Check out a cool contest on Elana Johnson's blog--great books will be given away.

Another contest on Shooting Stars (Bethany and Suzette)-lots of cool prizes.

The photo has nothing to do with this post but I liked it.

Here is something I have been wondering about and Jody Hedlund did an interesting post on this on Monday. She was so nice to respond to me. Thanks Jody!  The adventures of every form of media to get yourself out there.  Where to begin and what forms to choose? I was not a person to talk about myself what so ever and now--well-- I can't seem to shut up. I have e-mail, a Facebook page, joined Teen Fire and YALitChat but there is more. When and should I join Twitter and start a web page about myself? I see others have all of this but is it too much and when is the right time? So, I will focus on the two I don't have. The whole post is mainly questions because I would like to know about this stuff. Anyway, let me stop the babble and move on before you skip over this post entirely.

Twitter--When is the best time to join this group?

Do you think that it has helped you?

I guess I am wondering what is it?  Is it just another form of Facebook? (Not trying to sound naive or dare I say it ...old).

Should I consider getting involved in something like this?


Web page--Now is this something I should be looking into too?

I just finished my first draft and I am revising like crazy but should I consider a web page now?

I noticed many of you have one but I was not sure if there is a right time to do this?

I am looking for feedback on this so in advance --thanks. I am serious about my writing and hope to find an agent and get published (one day).  I am just looking to see what the masses thought of these forms of media and if I should wait on joining/starting these new ventures.

BTW- I will say it again, I do read all your comments and thank you for all your feedback from Monday's post.  It helps so much.  I think I may put up a little disclaimer in my sidebar to say-- I am sorry I may not get to answer your comments but I do read them.:)

Have a great day!
