Facebook/GoodReads

[j_cheney]

So, I've set up a Facebook account, as well as a GoodReads account. I don't know that I'm ever going to use them, and I have some doubt that I'll have much time for them---but I've got my place staked out now.

Did my proofs for WOTF. They wanted to change 'derailment' to 'derailleur' (which was incorrect, so I asked them to change it back) but pretty much otherwise, they just made punctuation changes. Glad that's done.

ETA: No, I had it backwards originally, and they changed it, and then changed it back, and then sent another PDF that had it correct, so I'm going to step out and let them handle everything. I'm confused....

No MySpace. Not now. Not ever.

I'm only setting it up in the hopes that I'll be able to use it to promote a novel....should I ever sell one. Not for social reasons...I like it here better.

Oh, I see. Well, John Joseph Adams did it as part of his promotional campaign for Wastelands, and it sure seems to have worked. And as for socializing, yeah, Facebook's good for very surface social interactions, but not so much discussion.

Sounds about right. Believe me, when I do get a book, I'll do my best to promote it. ;o)

Agreed! Usually it's like...

A: "Hey, I know you from thirty years ago! How're you doing?"
B: "Wow, what a surprise. I'm doing great! How about you?"
A: "Great!"

End of conversation.

Ain't that the truth.

I had one of those ;o)

::Do I still owe you money?
::No, but I borrowed a book from you twenty years ago and need to get it back to you.
::So what else is going on...

That kind of thing. ;o)
