  1. Here's my question. What are the best ways to use Twitter? And how do you not have it totally suck your time when you need to follow blogs and friends on Facebook? I'm thinking of joining it but afraid since I already spend too much time reading blogs.

  2. Those are really good questions. Socia definitely has some answers. I think the whole marketing and networking thing has writers stressing out because they write because they need to write and figuring out how to balance that with marketing through social media is the challenge. One thin that writers have to understand is social media isn't going to go away so we have to embrace it. Especially if we write for children. Every year the amount of kids 2-11 goes up as does the 12-18 age group.
