Time To Unwind
It was a very long week at Zannini south, but I feel I got a goodly amount done. The trip back seemed endless. It rained all 300 miles. I didn't mind the rain in north Texas, we really needed it, but I wish it could have waited until I was safely home.
5 hours of driving + steady rain + cooped up dogs + full bladders = Loooong Trip
Glad I'm home. It will be so nice when we both get to live in the SAME house like normal people.

I haven't been posting lately, but I have been keeping up with the news. Quartet Press closed suddenly and unexpectedly. The explanation was a little veiled which led to all sorts of speculation.
To be honest, since the public hasn't invested in QP yet, the public isn't owed an explanation, but the authors who signed on, the cover artists, the editors, and the admin staff is owed an explanation--a thorough and unvarnished explanation. I hope they got one.

Blogging is still my favorite way to interact with everyone. Now that I live in the middle of nowhere it's more important to me than ever before. I don't go on Twitter anymore. I'd like to, but it takes too much time and I can't keep up with all the conversations.
Do you Twitter? Is it worth it to you or has it become a time drain? Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Have you tried Myspace or Facebook as well?
Methinks it's a little dishonest. I wouldn't want someone following me and then find out he's not even reading my posts. What's the point then?
I simply don't have time for that. If anyone is interested in what I do, they can find out all they want by reading this blog.
In tracking stats, we get more clicks from Facebook than ANY other site, except for Google (searches). Period.
I use Twitter to pick up our blog feeds and send them to Facebook, but that's almost all anymore. It got to be a time suck and I didn't see the point.
Myspace is simply not user friendly, IMHO. I keep it, but don't get there often.
My fave, hands down, is Facebook. Easy to use, fun to hang out on, and there's a lot of quality interaction.
My .02 FWIW
Facebook has really turned around since I first looked into it, but I still don't trust them after that rights fiasco.
--which is just as well since I don't have time to spare anyway.
