Mid-week Mumble: Spider/Cricket

I had an interesting experience at work the other day.

To the cricket I just squashed: Sorry. In my defense, you were hiding in the laundry and you looked like a giant spider. #oops #yikes

Figuring Out the Options

Got very overwhelmed lately, thinking about all the different ways that a writer can engage with peers and fans online to create a platform. To make friends, and to talk with possible readers, and to learn from other writers and mentors. There are so many different ways!

Agents, Twitter, and the Nincompoop (aka Me)

As a part of building my platform, I’ve been trying out Twitter, to mixed results. But one question occurred to me as I was looking for people to follow: when exactly should I follow literary agents on Twitter? It’s useful for getting to know them, certainly, but is there a protocol involved? Should I blindly follow all those agents who I might pursue? How does this work?
