So we’re into week three of my new blog, and I would say things are doing pretty well. We have had some pretty good readership, some good google-search finds, and have moved into some new social media areas. So let me explore those!

So much I want to write about, but most of my effort has been going towards my new blog. We are meeting our post-a-day-six-days-a-week goal, although some have been a bit late. Been hard to build some backlog like I wanted to – more thoughts on this to come! But what are my blogging lessons from week 2? Read more of this post

This week, my wife and I finally started the blog we have been talking about (check us out here). This is a perfect opportunity to sit back, contemplate, cogitate, and commentate on our experience as we go.
One thing I finally figured out: How to create a break where you click through to the rest of the post! Read more of this post

Vacation followed by the holidays is a great way to fall behind on your blogs and writing.
I thought about doing Nanowrimo. How much did I end up writing in November? About one day’s worth of words.

Just posted this on Tumblr, and it was suddenly a hit. Lots of people noticing it, liking, reblogging. Well, “lots” being more than one. So, what do we learn? Read more of this post

So I have been on Twitter a bit now, and there is some great community-building that happens. I have self-listed as a writer, and have started getting some writers and writing groups following me. This is awesome. This is stuff I would like to check out and keep up with.
However, how do you keep up with things on Twitter? Follow a few folks, and suddenly you’re drowning in posts! I have a few actors, not so interesting sometimes; a few comedy ones, which I could take or leave; a few blogs, which I really probably don’t need because I go to their sites; a few celebrities who seem to talk to each other so it’s a bit amusing; and then the writers who might be saying something I should pay attention to.
Phew!
How do people keep up with Twitter? Multiple accounts depending on what you want to read about? Skip blindly over things? Constantly sitting and reading what people are writing?
How do you interact with Twitter? Did you try and give up? What are your thoughts, oh reader?
