Facebook Day

Like! The feel-good click :)

I did it! I started a Facebook page for my book!

For some reason Facebook freaks me out. I guess it's one thing to have people "follow" you (yay!) but the "Like" button definitely feels a lot more personal!

Do you have a Facebook page? Personal? Business?
Are you scared no one will Like you? Does it matter?

I'm still figuring my way through Facebook's settings and options. How do you use Facebook? Is it part of your platform? Any tips / tricks to share?

Keep kicking ass!

Building an Army

Every plot for world domination needs an army! Whether it’s your agent, your readers, or friends and family – building an army is all about finding people who can support you. When you have people on your side (in your corner, at your back…) it means support if you stumble and celebrations when you win!

Life as a writer / blogger can be as isolating as it is awesome. But thanks to the Internet, the whole world is just a click (or three) away. This month, Rachael Harrie is kicking off another Crusade – connecting aspiring authors and bloggers. It's a way for us to join forces, make new friends, build our platforms and grow together. Smart, fun, effective... brilliant!

I love it! I’m in! :)

Keep kicking ass!
