I'm having so much fun reading everyone's profile and blogs, I'm not getting any writing done!!! <br /><br />Hey, Shauna, I did the CWG apprenticeship course, but I didn't stay on as a member afterward so I hadn't heard about the FB page. I'll have to check it out. My daughter also did the one for youth. And has become quite the freelance writer I might proudly add.Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-42425607548438244112011-08-25T08:11:36.742-07:002011-08-25T08:11:36.742-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Deirdra A.

From there, I've reconnected with classmates from years gone by, developed friendships with other writers I've found the CWG and through links they've posted on their own blogs or Facebook pages. But, like you Sandra, I have found it can really drain my time. I have friends who say they suffer from insomnia--unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your view, I do not suffer the same malady, and so I have difficulty finding time to read everything I want to read and then still write. (I also am still working full time,am a scrapbooker, and full-time wife and mom.) All that said, I really enjoyed your post. Thanks Eileen for hosting. And when I'm done here, I'm going to be adding another feed to my blog list!Shauna Renee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/17708088343838291339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-90496436195028779202011-08-25T07:42:45.900-07:002011-08-25T07:42:45.900-07:00Sandra, thanks for sharing your marketing tips...a...Sandra, thanks for sharing your marketing tips...and everything else this week! The marketing part is something I've been putting off thinking about until just recently. It's overwhelming. I like that advice you shared about self promo being a marathon, not a sprint. I'll remember that one.<br /><br />Your blog looks great. I joined as a follower!<br /><br /><br />Eileen, thanks for your hospitality and introducing us to Sandra. I feel so at home here at your blog. It's a great place to have my coffee and grow as a writer.Loree Huebnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845600356878587780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-1819455359238689342011-08-25T07:07:54.298-07:002011-08-25T07:07:54.298-07:00Absolutely, I really dragged my feet at getting st...Absolutely, I really dragged my feet at getting started. Yet...there are so many blogs and such out there these days, it's getting harder to be heard amid the cacophony.

I added a "subscribe to newsletter" button to my blog and website for that reason. Few have signed up, and if they actually read FB, they'd already know what's in it anyway. But at least it's an option for those who want to be kept apprised of new releases without having to follow me.Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-57738743263016585822011-08-25T05:43:12.940-07:002011-08-25T05:43:12.940-07:00One piece at a time is good advice.
