Yay! It’s the start of M&M Week
I’m very lucky to have lots of talented, wisdomous, writerly friends. Many of these good people share common interests, but don’t know each other...yet. Not all of them are on Live Journal. Some have accounts (or in the case of LJ users, additional accounts) on Twitter, Facebook, Blogspot etc.
With that in mind, I thought it might be fun to host some kind of networking tea and crumpets/soda and chips event here on An Englishman in New Jersey, where folks can meet other folks with the same kind of writing interests.
I’m calling it ‘Mix and Mingle week’.
Here’s how it works:
If you’re interested in making some new writer friends, share a few words about yourself and your writing, along with a link to your website, Wordspace, Blogspot, Facebook, Twitter accounts etc. where folks can find out more about you and your work, then add/follow/friend you on the relevant platforms if they so desire.
If you don’t have an LJ account, you can still take part via an anonymous comment, but don’t forget to include your name.
Of course, it’s up to you, but this is ‘Mix and Mingle’ not ‘Find a Fan’ week, so I recommend sticking to general info: how long you’ve been writing; what you usually blog about; preferred genre; favorite authors etc.
As for me, I’m looking forward to finding out more about my friends.
Have fun. Now, where did I put those teabags?
