Wow! Thank you so much for all of the valuable and helpful information. I have to make a final decision on my "author name" and definitely do not want it connected to my personal life. Give me until this weekend at the latest and I'd love to follow you!

I just can't figure out how one finds the time to write, twitter, blog, etc.

When I get ready to start building my platform, may I contact you for advice and such? I just feel so overwhelmed and lost.....
