Melissa Ann Goodwin: Multiple Personalities

Multiple Personalities

So I have this blog, where I hang out with my lovely bloggy friends and write about whatever floats my boat. Then I set up a different blog (don't go there, there's nothing interesting on it yet) as my Author Blog (capital letters :-). I want to keep this blog just as it's been, and have that one for ... author stuff, I guess. More like my web page than a blog.

And, I had a Facebook page - my personal FB page. Now I also have a Facebook page for me as an author, and a Facebook page for my book. And of course I have that Twitter thing going, but there's just one of me on there. Twitter is wild enough without having more than one identity...

I have usernames and passwords up the kazoo and I had to write them all down. Suddenly I feel like I have multiple personalities - wait, who am I now???

Anyone else feel that way?

It's probably a good idea to think ahead, so you sound like you're on track. Let us know at some point what is your author blog link. :)

I tried adding another blog but found that I just couldn't do it. I don't have FB or twitter. I am soooo behind the times.
I am in awe of people that have multiple blogs...I just don't know how it all gets done!
Blessings, Joanne

Another writer was telling me I just HAD to be on goodreads. I had to go and give reviews and Make friends.
Um sorry, but no. I'm working too hard on my blog and twitter and Facebook. I don't have time to think about goodreads too. I say, pace yourself :)

Stephsco - I will! I'm thinking the author blog won't really be a blog - it will be more like info about the book and where to get it, and any reading/signing dates coming up. But probably not true blog posts..And Jen - i saw the same thing about Goodreads and I even created a log - in, but seriously - it's too much. I'd rather have quality interactions with fewer people....I'm trying to simplify at this stage of life, not complicate.

Joanne - I think you actually have the right idea! I think the value of twitter for me remains to be seen -it's like the blog world in a way - it's so big, but you still have to make it somehow smaller in order to have real conversations with real people. Angelique, we'll figure it out - I think there is something to the "less is more" idea...

Hi Karen! I've been off the grid so getting caught up! Hope your blog tour is going well. I'll check in at your blog, and I'll send out a tweet on your behalf!

About Me

I am an author, poet, and yoga teacher, recently returned to my beloved New England after a 20-year journey of living in the southwest U.S. and Florida. I am the author of Candles in the Windows, A Christmas Romance, newly released in 2023. I also have two middle-grade novels, The Christmas Village and Return to Canterbury. In 2023, I also released my first poetry collection, The Brook in the Woods Behind our Old House, and a self-illustrated picture book, Come Fly with Me. All my books are available on Amazon.com. Click on the book cover to go directly to that book's page on Amazon.

About My Poetry

It wasn't until the forced isolation of the pandemic that I began to explore writing poetry with dedicated effort. To my surprise and delight, several poems that emerged from that time went on to win honors and awards in international poetry competitions throughout 2021 and 2022. A small collection of my work was a top five winner in the 2022 Oprelle Masters Poetry Competition, while individual poems earned awards and honors in the Bigger Than Me and Coming Home Competitions, The Prime 53 Poetry Competition, and the Vivian Shipley Award. In 2023, I published my first poetry chapbook, The Brook in the Woods Behind Our Old House, which is available on Amazon.
