This afternoon I signed up for Google+. My good friend,and fellow artist, Lefolk invited me. I hesitated at first because I wondered at the merit of joining yet another social media outlet. But then I remembered reading about Google+ in some writerly circles on Twitter. So, I went ahead and set it all up.
Now, I guess I'll just wait and see where it goes...

Social Media
I read an article in Poets & Writers magazine about using Twitter.
"If you manage it correctly, you can use Twitter to promote yourself and your writing, to engage with your readers, or to stay current on the publishing and literary scenes."
I hadn't "Twittered" in a while, so I revisited it yesterday and added a bunch of literary peeps, or should I say, Tweeps? Today, I logged in, and wow! Had quite a few really interesting Tweets to read, as well as comment to.
May be on to something here.
PS. Read a tweet today saying that keeping up with Social Media may in fact harm your writing because you may spend so much time Social Media-ing that you don't take time to actually write. Sigh.
