23 Things Intro: A Writer's Journey

After reading, begin at the Writer Things List

As a writer or published author have you wondered how to build and maintain a following? How to market yourself so that your work stays in awareness of actual and potential readership? Today, technology provides opportunities to promote your work, generate more ideas, and expand contact to a wide audience with or without the connections that a publishing firm offers. Most books on publication say that the author is the best promoter for their work.

This experience provides an exploration of Web 2.0 tools that allow a person to create content and build collaborative communities. It is structured after the work of RESA 23 Things site, a blog exploration of the same tools from an educator view point.

Participants will explore the Web 2.0 tools and use their blog to post reflections, and comment on blogs of other participants to support the community of learners.

We'll be using the Educational site for its excellent tutorials. Why reinvent the wheel when a quality experience is developed? Here are the steps for this project:

  1. Use the Writer Things List to navigate to the Thing you're focused on. Everything you need is in the Thing you're exploring.
  2. Post to your blog, and comment on others as indicated.
  3. When done, go to the next Thing and repeat the steps.
Help is always available at writerthings@storywind.net.

Looking forward to your journey!
