Like that! RT @CarlaWynn2012: @socialwebcafe Its the beauty of changing your hats that keeps vibrance abound ... #SocialCafeDeborah
@moppetmissy An idea would be to find an "editing partner." You can read your partner's book and vice versa, for feedback. #SocialCafeDeborah

I agree, Akshat. I am a very organized person, by nature, but getting even more organized in 2013. That helps to realize which steps are working and which are not. Being random is fun, but having steps, as you say, helps you to know which path is working and which is not.
