I don't know what I'd do without my iPhone... but I do have a business and it is necessary to keep in touch with my clients.<br /><br />Very excited about the challenge. I hope I haven't forgotten how to write something new. In edits for years now, I'm sure I remember how... LOL. But I'll give it the old college try!

My wattpad is sorely lacking, but I will post short stories here and there. The rest are mostly connected.

Social networking is crucial unless you have loads to spend on advertising. You may not get many sales from Twitter or FB, but if you're doing a giveaway, these places work well. And who can buy your books if no one knows about them? So it's important to develop online networks. <br /><br />Good luck with your flash fiction challenges - they sound fun! Have a great week! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-72272576546228537452015-08-05T01:04:15.987-04:002015-08-05T01:04:15.987-04:00#YolandaRocks
