Only recently have I begun tinkering with social networking.  MySpace was the first on my list.

I created accounts under both my real name and my blog name.  Then forgot them.

Now I have reason to return to the endeavor.

Someone on MySpace contacted me, someone I went to school with many moons ago.  She was a dear friend back then who is now a published author and animal rescuer.  Hello!

But my considerations go far beyond finding old friends and staying in touch with new ones.

As I endeavor to become a published novelist, mingling with the online hordes will be an important part of staying in touch with those who can make or break me.

Therefore, you can expect a new sidebar section to be created, one dedicated to linking to my various accounts at social networking sites.

The current incarnation of this group will focus entirely on my pseudonymous persona.  Future versions will include, then migrate to, my professional self, the one maintained using my real name.

So if you’re on MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, or one of several other such services, watch for xenogere.  I should be there soon.
