Eagle, in response to your question about what to do on Facebook: when I get my profile back up on facebook, I will use it as a professional place, updating readers about the progress of TEARS. For myspace, I try to have a little more fun!

PL, What is the "progress of TEARS?"

LOL, Jabber....I know it's soooo weird that I post myself as "southern" Maine....but I think positive!!!!

Eagle,
I don't know what to do on facebook, either. I answer those
who write me. But other than that, I haven't a clue what a
person is supposed to do there.

ladyjane,

I like the "Southern" Maine location. I don't think it's weird.
Someday, I'll put my photo on line but not just yet. Someday!

I feel perfectly comfortable on facebook. Like I've said, I look up old classmates and church friends....it's fun. It literally snowballs with the more friends you have....the more you find!

did you get my pm with the info lady jane.

iv not been into fb for a few days

Yes, celtic I did and I sent a friend request! Get on there, girl!

A person could go nuts trying to be on all the sites available today. Find a couple good ones and stick to them. Just a thought!

Hi Jabber, thanks for asking. You mean "Project for TEARS: Telling Everyone About Rape & Suicide, which is in conjunction with my book Beyond the Tears: A True Survivor's Story. You see, I wanted to create a non-profit that would include going to schools, churches, etc. to speak up about child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence and its ramifications, such as drug abuse and suicide attempts. It is over my head and beyond my financial means to do a non-profit. So I call my work the Project for TEARS which 1) comforts victims by sharing my story 2) confronts society by breaking the silence 3) challenges people to think in terms of awareness. I'm doing my FB page tomorrow, meanwhile I'm on myspace and goodreads. And, it could make you crazy to be all over the place. In terms of my networking to bring forth the mission of my book, the internet has turned out to be fruitful. Lately, I sell more e-books and Kindle than paperbacks. Also, I like to see what other organizations are doing to bring awareness to child abuse, date rape, etc. Oh, suicide is on the increase. Between returning military and financial woes, no wonder why.

Girlfriends, I don't know how to "look you up" on Facebook. For example, I tried Donna Sh... but got lots of answers. So how do I find you? You can PM me if you want with your my space and facebook I'd appreciate that. But mostly I spend my time here. PL
