I entered the blogosphere in March 2009, when several of my fellow Sisters in Crime from the New York/Tristate chapter invited me to join their blog, Women of Mystery. I am honored to be a part of this talented group of writers and so grateful they gave me the opportunity to join them.I've been developing a web site with the help of Meghan at the Apple store in the Smith Haven Mall, and it was launched last week; the domain name is kathleenaryan.com. Meghan has helped me tremendously and I appreciate all of her efforts. I realized I should start my own blog and have a link on the web site to the new blog. I will certainly continue blogging with Women of Mystery.
Claire E. White wrote a comprehensive post on The Internet Writing Journal about authors who blog: The Author's Dilemma: To Blog or Not to Blog. An internet presence, whether it's blogging, social networking, or a web site, is something every author has to evaluate and decide upon.
As I get my feet wet in the blogging pool as a solo, it will be a work-in-progress until I start jumping off the diving board. But it's nice to be in the water!
Well, we're delighted that you're not leaving us, but I'm always pleased to see pals spread their wings, no matter where the flight takes them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clare! I am thrilled to be with Women of Mystery! I will be experimenting here...now I need to figure out how to fix the time, I see it's off...Thanks for stopping by, dear friend!

Thanks for stopping by, Marilyn! I just got my internet service back, I lost it on Thursday morning, along with my phone and TV service, too. A squirrel ate through our wire on a pole in the backyard! Three days has felt like an eternity to be away from the internet!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you....can't believe the conference is almost a month away!
Thanks for your kind words!
