Keep your writing name separate? I know a couple of people who have done that, and it makes sense to me. You may not want *professional colleagues* having access to your family vacation photos, for example. I've had everything online under my own name for so long that it's too late for me to change it even if I wanted to.Valerie Comerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674882711125123089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9896011.post-36334968485166637252008-10-10T08:53:00.000-06:002008-10-10T08:53:00.000-06:00I was thinking something similar, Random, except i...I was thinking something similar, Random, except in my case, it's a pseudonym. I'm better known online by EJ than my real name, which only a handful of people know. How does one handle Facebook in that case? I almost feel like I'd have to come out of the closet!<BR/><BR/>PS The word verification is znjor, which is the sound my hubby makes when he's sleeping!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421901072185773752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9896011.post-7634267234059995462008-10-09T22:04:00.000-06:002008-10-09T22:04:00.000-06:00Hey, I was leaving my muse out of this!Hey, I was leaving my muse out of this!Erin M.

I have my professional freelance self, and I have my fiction writing. From what I've seen on-line, a casual presence for a writer is a lot more forgivable than one for a business.<BR/><BR/>I have to assume that anything I put up on the Web can be found by my clients. Scary thought, that.<BR/><BR/>I've been hoping to develop a strategy toward social media, where I use some specifically for professional contact (such as LinkedIn, which I have yet to join) and some for my more casual writerly self (which may include Facebook or MySpace). I just haven't had the time yet.<BR/><BR/>So, anyway, that's why I'm being slow in the social media game.Erin M. Hartshornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266817608093831779noreply@blogger.com
