I have a number of blogs related to different to projects. People ask me how I have time to maintain so many blogs but the truth is, I treat all my blogs as part of one BIG blog. I use Red Sweater's MarsEdit app for the Mac to compose a blog post and then choose which blog to send it to.

I love social media, and mainly post on Facebook (personal / pro), Google+ and Twitter (@inkyelbows). I post images to Flickr and Picasa. I post about books I'm reading at Goodreads.

Here are blogs I maintain or contribute to:

 

WRITING


Inkygirl: Illustrated blog for writers. Includes comics for writers, interviews, resources, and tips. I post info for writers (especially kidlit/YA) at @inkyelbows.

A Writer's Guide To Twitter: My guide for writers who want to find out more about how they can use Twitter.

MiG Writers: Collab blog of my critique group, the MiG Writers. 

Writer Unboxed: I contribute a monthly cartoon to this excellent blog about the craft and business of fiction writing. You can see my contributions here.
