I think about closing my account a lot, but I haven't yet because it's the only way I keep up with certain family members and friends from high school. So I just keep things really vague there. Anyone who wants actual attention can find me on Twitter or my blog, which I like much better. :)Jodi Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796496740054225283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-9592491753474573802010-08-26T09:01:21.112-04:002010-08-26T09:01:21.112-04:00I kind of wish I'd started two face book pages...I kind of wish I'd started two face book pages: one for personal me and one for writer me.

Things are going to get crazy when your books are released.<br />I set up a Facebook account years ago and then never did anything with it--something about the free-for-all there bugs me and I hate that long list of privacy options. A crit partner brought Facebook up last night, saying she needed to de-friend a neice who was using language and content she doesn't want. <br />For now, I'm sticking to my blog, and when and if I get an agent, I'll set up a web page and Twitter account.<br />Good luck with all this.

I originally had a fan page, and then recently I started a separate "writer" account because I got tired of declining facebook requests with "Sorry, I don't friend people I don't know, but you can fan me if you want :-P" There's no perfect way to handle it.
