Who's on Facebook & Twitter?

I've done a better job staying in touch with my 2nd WIFYR group than my first one. A few of us convinced several in the group to join Twitter. It's been fun and educational for me to keep tabs on their lives, but mostly it's been motivational. Since this group has withered a bit, I was wondering if perhaps you folks have moved on to Facebook and Twitter.

Here's my contact info. Please post yours in a comment. Let's try to stay in touch.

Creative Writing Exercise to Get Your Week Going

I'm launching a new creative writing feature on my blog called 'Musing Mondays. Nothing too time consuming. I post a picture I found or took & then I ask a question about it. I could use your input, even if you contribute just a silly paragraph. It'd be a great way to touch base with some of you again and hear from your wonderful minds. Thanks!

Writing Motivation

So what tools do you guys use to get yourself to write? Or, more specifically, to stop dilly dallying and move closer to publication?

Is it the money? The fame? The fear of ridicule from your peers who know that you've been working on that "silly" novel for months on end?

For me, I have a novel written, two half-written, three other novels to start, and one that I just started today. I need help. So I've decided that when I sell my first novel., I'm going to buy myself a puppy.

It is the ULTIMATE PLAN!!!

What about you?
