Kirk - I think it would be a great idea to go on Facebook. This community has been a wonderful part of my life, however sporadically I am on it, and I think that it would be wonderful to share it with others. It has given me a place to get my thoughts out and I would welcome that for anybody else.

Just catching up on the conversation. I have been a contributor since about 97? and while I ALWAYS read, my writing goes through starts and fits, and sometimes stops.
I both understand the wish to be anonymous, and the desire to be more connected.
Those of you who know me--in person or virtually know I have no secrets, and I am completely open with my entire life on facebook.
I also realize that I have published some very sensitive subjects here that were so fresh at the time, I enjoyed being anonymous, though in later years, I published some of those same works under my actual name in printed journals.
I would love for their to be a Love Blender Facebook page, but I see it more as a place for the front page published works and comments, not a place for submissions per se. I do believe a FB presence would push more people to this space to submit.
Did that make sense at all? If not, I am "Just L" and if so, lovingly, Lori Bumgardner-Adair
p.s. That "industry standard" sounds like bs to me. It is your work, you can publish it as many times as you like unless you sign a contract. Sounds like their snobbery to me. UGH.
