The tone of SG is very similar to the snark I spew over at The Onion AV Club and I'm trying to rack up as many side projects as possible... I dig your work and would love to know how you got it out there at SG.Thanks, Cassie duckbilledplatitude@gmail.com Hey-

In this realm, you are one of the cool kids and everyone wants to be near you. I doubt that the average blogger gets as much feedback as you do; I know I don't! You are very good at putting yourself out there, and the overflow of messages is proof that your plan is working -- maybe a little too well.

( and with twitter i imaging it would get full very quickly).My only remaining suggestion would be to hire some one like Wanda Clark (Lucille Ball's personal secretary) to assist you in this . I agree with you about managing all the communication.

But i think a part of it comes from when you have managed to do what you originally intended to

- Get your name and your writing out there to be read and appreciated by us.

To help achieve this you have put yourself out through many different channels:
- myspace
- twitter
- facebook [and the 6 groups related to your work there]
- secondlife,
- ning
- PFK novel site
- your zombinc site
- ISBW
- murverse
- messenging programs

You have to manage 10 streams of information coming to you and i can see how it would be so daunting a task.

A program that would let you manage this task would be great.

However not all sites allow you to redirect your feeds to a central email account. ( and with twitter i imaging it would get full very quickly).

My only remaining suggestion would be to hire some one like Wanda Clark (Lucille Ball’s personal secretary) to assist you in this .

Most systems have a way to do that. I have twitter DM’s, BBS messages, etc. set up to forward to my email. Most systems have a way to do that.
