Thanks for the link back. And stopped by actually to say I bought your Social Media Book and you are a life saver. Love the wicked humor you impart to make us ‘serious writers’ less serious!!!

I am just catching up on this series and loving it. I use the Pomodoro Technique to make sure I only ‘reward’ myself with a bit of social media work (yes, it’s fun as well) for a certain time and then get back to doing the real work. Thank you so much for this series. I will link back to your series as it is very germane to my post. Thank you!

Wonderful entry! I had the same lovely fever at the start of 2013. I had all of these great plans to blog at least every other day…on two different blogs. I was all set to go. Then my job quickly stepped in and started taking over my evening writing time (either with work to take home or from staying later at work). I quickly realized that I was going to have to set boundaries, something that us all-or-nothing types have a hard time doing. For now, I update my blogs every weekend, but I am starting to arrange my work schedule to open up my evenings. You know, because you’ve got to have priorities…

Brilliant, Kristen! (Not that brilliance is new here. It’s a common occurrence.)

But I also love that song Rubberband Girl by Kate Bush: “See those trees bend in the wind. I feel they’ve got a lot more sense than me. You see, I try to resist…If I could learn to give like a rubberband, I’d be back on my feet.” That always inspires me to be flexible, be resilient, keep looking for how to bounce back.

Facebook, Twitter and all those great blogs I’ve signed up for. I miss a day or two on my computer, and there’s sixty emails–and those aren’t my friends, those are from business, writers and great bloggers like you!

Fantastic points Kristen! Do you think social media may be the root cause for America’s decreasing engaging verbal articulation, i.e. less face-to-face and live (on the phone) communication…particularly in our teens & young adults? Everything has to be done so fast at the expense of quality, or artistic value! Example, what is the average time an internet browser spends on a webpage? I think it’s like 12-15 seconds? This whole social media trend has made me appreciate more the classic and Victorian literature; content that stimulates my brain in a non-hyperactive & non-attention deficit way! “Whoa there kid…that’s fine wine, not Gatorade! You sip it and savor it!” LOL 😉
