OH MY!<\/p>\n<p>Then I finished my novel and after an hour of celebration I realized that I needed to take the next steps, editing &#8212; ACK, deciding how to publish my book &#8212; <em>heads<\/em> self-pub or <em>tails<\/em> traditional, and then promoting myself: who&#8217;s going to care about me?<\/p>\n<p>So I took several classes, including one with Beth \ud83d\ude42 [thanks Alica!] and began taking small baby steps towards building a social media network.<\/p>\n<p>My daily Twitter feed slowly became less snark from my sister and laughing with celebrities (who are delighted that I personally am following them) to being filled wth fellow writers celebrating, commiserating, and sharing.<\/p>\n<p>At first I was thrilled. I was doing it! I was building a social networking empire! Woo-hoo! And then I was getting so many tweets a day that I couldn&#8217;t keep up and hadn&#8217;t seen anything my sister had posted in days.<\/p>\n<p>I felt overwhelmed and couldn&#8217;t figure out how other authors got anything done. Then in the midst of my despair, some told me to download <a title=\"Tweetdeck\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tweetdeck.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tweetdeck<\/a>, and another person suggested <a title=\"Hootsuite\" href=\"http:\/\/hootsuite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hootsuite<\/a>. I won\u2019t claim to be an expert or even fairly good with either. But I found them to be invaluable. For me Tweetdeck works better for me. But in truth I use both, Hootsuite at work where I can\u2019t download anything into my computer, and Tweetdeck at home.<\/p>\n<p>I spent an hour sorting all the people I follow into lists and making columns and now I can easily take care of all my Twitter fun. I see the blog posts for other writers and the posts from my sister. I comment and make new friends, and while I don\u2019t have a social media empire, I\u2019m having fun seeing what people are up to, in small 140-character snapshots of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>I also post about my day, blog updates, and hopefully soon book release excitement. Twitter can look intimidating, but with a little planning and with Tweetdeck or Hootsuite it can also be a lot of fun and a great way to expand your network and promote yourself. I hope to tweet with you there at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/alicamj\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/alicamj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Alica.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3518\" style=\"margin: 6px;\" title=\"Alica Mckenna Johnson\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Alica-300x200.jpg\" width=\"144\" height=\"96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Alica-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Alica-1024x685.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 144px) 100vw, 144px\" \/><\/a>Alica McKenna Johnson writes about snarky girls, kind boys, and the adults trying to keep them alive.
