Okay so, I was gonna blog about Twitter, but then I stopped by Charlene’s blog….
Do you Twitter? Are you debating about Twitter? Do you not need another timesuck? Here’s a few reasons to twitter….Agents, reviewers, & publishers…not to mention other authors and reviewers (I’m talking Janet Reid, my own agent, Holly Root, Grand Central publishing, etc).
Interestingly enough, after Twittering for a few months, I noticed my LSB sales went up. Not dramatically–hell those books are 34 years old. But in any given month, I sell 1-2 copies of both titles. Last month I sold 5. No, it’s not significant but it IS another way to reach an audience. Do I attribute those sales directly to Twitter? I don’t suppose I can without asking and I won’t. I think it’s rude to ask someone what they thought of your book. I also have Myspace and a Facebook acct, though Facebook is more for old HS connections than writing, and I don’t do much on Myspace. Right now I’m NOT Twittering because my personal life has kinda imploded over the last few months (okay I am but under another name). I’m Twittering more as just another slub than as a writer and that’s okay for now. The people I Twitter with know who I am but they don’t expect me to talk writing and that’s okay too. :yes:
Now on to the good stuff…kids and sex….this is NOT for the squeemish….
A few weeks ago my son (he’s 12 ADD and VERY bright) asked me if girl performs oral sex on a guy then kisses him isn’t that like doing it to himself. Um yeah actually it kinda is :lmao: and yes that’s what I told him. I don’t lie to my children. So Shell…see what you have to look forward to?
What’s the most horrifyingly embarrassing thing you’ve ever been asked by your kid…or asked your parents. And do you Twitter?
