   Hey, I'm back from yet another amazing SCBWI event;
   "Tying together your online presence" with fabulous illustrator/Assistant Regional Advisor Mike DeSantis. 
scbwi events ohio Picture
Mike DeSantis keeping us up to speed.
    Of course  Mike gave us a ton of information.
   w
ay too much for this little post.

    So here's a summary of Mike's main points.  
    (The short, skimpy version)
  •      In your online persona- you a signpost, student or sage?
  •      Facebook? Separate business from personal
  •      Who are you trying to reach? Kids? Parents? Pros?
  •      If you start a blog, stick to it -and  "feed the beast"
  •      Authors/Illustrators - some may think
​             if you're not online ... then you don't exist.​

   
A big thanks to Mike for a fun and informative presentation!

VERBUM SAT SAPIENTI: As a writer of the sassy, savvy, schizophenia we all go through in this lifelong demise, I just wanna help U.S. git past the whorizontal more!ass! we're in (Latin: words to the wise)...

"This finite existence is only a test, son," God Almighty sed to me in my coma. "Beyond thy earthly tempest is where you'll find corpulent eloquence" (paraphrased). Lemme tella youse without d'New Joisey accent...

I actually saw Seventh-Heaven when we died: you couldn't GET any moe curly, 3stooges, party-hardy-endorphins, extravagantly-surplus-lush Upstairs when my beautifull, brilliant, bombastic girl passed-away due to those wry, sardonic satires.

"Those who are wise will shine as brightly as the expanse of the Heavens, and those who have instructed many in uprightousness as bright as stars for all eternity" -Daniel 12:3

Here's also what the prolific, exquisite GODy sed: 'the more you shall honor Me, the more I shall bless you' -the Infant Jesus of Prague.

Go git'm, girl. You're incredible. See you Upstairs. I won't be joining'm in the nasty Abyss where Isis prowls
