So MySpace dumped me

Just when I was starting to feel good about myself, MySpace has deleted my account. I don't have confirmation from them, but I'm pretty sure. I sent an inquiry but according to a couple of friends, even if I get an answer, I'm SOL. The profile I had my web people design is gone. My 1000+ friends are gone.

I'm bummed. I'm sure I get my web people to put it back but I don't have the time to or desire to go back and do the friend hunt thing. It took me months to get all those. I'm not sure what good it did me but according to my stats I got some traffic from there.

And I don't understand. I never put anything that would be unsuitable for the underaged on there. My book cover, a recipe widget thingie. My whiny or celebratory posts. Some recipes of mine. What's the harm in that?

I wonder if this has happened to other authors. Should I do Facebook? Should I try to blog more?

Should I stick with my day job? lol

Ah well. Good news, bad news. Maybe this will mean good news is next. How neat would that be?

Buenos noches,

Lauren

I actually have news to post!

Let's see. I have two things to report but I really can't say anything official yet. Isn't that terrible?

Okay, what I CAN say. On the first one, I MIGHT have a second sale. I hope, I hope, I hope. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'm working on a new project with some other authors but I don't know if I've made that sale yet. It's got a lot of promise but I need to write it first. LOL

Anyway, it's forward progress. I hope to be able to tell you more soon.

Buenos noches,

Lauren
