I used to make a lot of snarky comments about Facebook, comparing it to Junior High and only good for one thing – marketing. But finally I'm starting to get it  – it feels more like hanging out with other writers in a coffee shop rather than school. I used to just post Marketing Whore messages – pictures of my book jackets, when and where I was signing a book next or teaching a class – but now I'm just posting little updates and pictures of my life.  Especially pictures of Nelson.  And I hear right back! People leave 'likes' and messages and it's fun. Or of course, maybe I'm just slipping into one more online addiction as a way to avoid actually writing.
