I love social media. But, let's be honest, it can also be a big fat pain in the ass! I either hate it or love it. It depends on the day. The truth is that I hate how often social media changes. It seems like every few weeks new rules, updates, and requirements are posted. How's a busy freelancer supposed to keep up-to-date? I know it's something I struggle with.

I love to come up with novel ideas. Completing a novel, on the other hand, tends to be far more difficult. What always trips me up is the lack of a novel outline.
