I am in many many ways a lucky girl. I have a husband who I adore, kids I am thoroughly amused by, friends I can count on and a job I love. Plus, I get to do really cool things like go to events like the BookExpo America. This year was my second time attending. In 2012 I went as an author and did a signing and met with translators, publishers, bloggers and other authors. This year, I just went. No agenda, no expectations. And it was awesome. Book Expo America 2013 seems a little smaller. Maybe the space is just arranged differently (Javitz Center is in a perpetual state of construction). There were fewer individual author booths...

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Tried cutting back on Group/Business twitter followings, even considered opening a new twitter account and starting from scratch. But after reading my friend Jane George’s AMAZING POST yesterday about unfollowing folks and trying to use Twitter for real I did something drastic. I unfriended people. Yep. After years of building a following I went through and viscously culled. Why did I do this? Well, because the format wasn’t working for me any more. I tried lists to separate people out so I could read posts, I tried hootsuite and all kinds of other programs, but nothing I...
