In an attempt to further solidify my professional networks,
I have established a
LinkedIn account, and have begun to make literary connections.
I mainly associate myself with literary agents, as they are the first link to
my primary future pursuits. However, I have also developed connections with
other professionals within Communications and freelance writing positions, as
they are able to provide me with keen insight to growth possibilities.
Additionally, upon looking into the LinkedIn account of Kimberly Yadon, a
creative writing instructor for
ESC, I found that she has utilized the site to encompass
avenues to many of her interests. That’s a promising perspective.
I've
also employed my
Twitter account to a great extent lately. I’m excited about
several new proficient contacts to various literary agencies. It has allowed me
to be aware of relevant writing trends, and is resourceful in providing me with
sites for helpful tips. Yet, I still need to better my “twitting” skills. Like
anything, it requires regular practice.
My
Symbaloo has grown to include resource links for writing enhancement, quick
links to social sites, and associations to literary agencies such as Friendrich
and Curtis Brown, whom I hope to write for. The bookmarks make it expedient to
access different sites from one central location. From there I can likewise
access my
Pinterest boards or link them back to my other sites, including my
other blog
A Life of Movies.
The aforementioned
is a sampling of my expanding digital network, and the efforts toward my
ultimate goal of becoming a professional author. I strive to iron out the inconsistencies
of my digital presence where time plays a factor. Nevertheless, life is a
lesson, and I am learning.
