Navigating social media is one of the most time consuming, but necessary pieces of the book publishing world. Sometimes I'd rather eat dog food than sit on my arse for 6 hours trying to figure out the nuts and bolts of a new site (or new to me lol). My publicist said, "Get over it and get on it! Snapchat, Ay-sap!!" Yes, sir. I spent one Saturday shooting a bunch of ridiculous videos to launch my Snapchat account with, but am so technologically challenged (just like Goro, btw) that I need someone holding my hand pretty much every step of the way -__-. Feeling like an 80-year-old woman doesn't help, as I am not a spring chicken anymore. Keeping up with the YA in the demographic I am reaching can be exhausting! Wish I had their energy! However, buckling down and just doing it, as the saying goes, can pay off huge dividends in the end. I tell my students all the time, "You can dooooooo it!" Doesn't help that I accidently sent the wrong video to my former BOSS on Snapchat, my bad...So here's to learning fluent Snapchat and posting some zany pics and videos! Wish me luck!! :)
