I'm doing research for my new witch series, Main Street Witches. One of my favorite witch shows is Charmed. I was very disappointed to hear that the reties would not be rebooted. Bummer. Still, I've always wondered what made the show so successful. This article has some good ideas. Here's a fan forum thread on the same subject.

Four mindsets that could doom your social media efforts.

How authors can use Pinterest.

There's a YA X-Files series coming out way. It's set in the heyday of UFOlogy, 1979. I'm really looking forward to it.

Kameron Hurley on content marketing. This is great blogging advice.

How to leverage keywords in Pinterest as an author. None of my Pinterest posts have keywords. I have to fix that. I actually get a fair amount of blog traffic from Pinterest.

Working as a stock photography model. Very interesting. Explains a lot about the stock photography we get.

What makes great detective fiction. Very cool.

Great Self Publishing Roundtable podcast with Roxie Rivera.

The Shannara Chronicles trailer is out! I am so geeking out over this show. The Shannara Series was one of my favorite fantasy series (second only to The Belgariad). I think the first book I ever wrote was Ander Elessedil fan fiction.

The difference between a masterpiece and a first draft. Great post on the To Kill a Mockingbird sequel. I'm pretty appalled about the To Set a Watchman fiasco. It very much looks like people are taking advantage of an elderly author here.

Taylor, the Kboards Freebooksy rep gives very interesting social media advice in this thread. I did not know that erotica did well on Pinterest. I guess you learn something new every day. Jane Friedman also has a post on using Pinterest to market children's books. Food for thought. I actually get a lot of traffic for Pinterest but it only hits my television and crafts posts. My writing posts don't get that much love. I wonder if I can change that. *ponders*
