My memoir, 'The Cahmeleon in the Closet, A Conservative Jewish Mother Reaches Out to Her Orthodox Sons" will be available in June from Amazon so I'm working on my personal brand as a chameleon.

As you can see, my weblog here focuses mostly on writing while my Facebook and Twitter posts encompass all aspects of my life. I think you need both. I agree that the lines are blurry.

It's hard to know how much of yourself to reveal. You’re so right, Kelly. It’s hard to know how much of yourself to reveal.

Interesting distinction. As a writer, I'm working to creating my personal brand with my <a href='2kop.blogspot.com' rel="nofollow">blog</a> and my <a href='www.bearman.us' rel="nofollow">Website</a>. I'm aware that everything I post in those spaces is a reflection of my writing skills and style, even when they don't relate directly to my WIPs. I'm also conscious of using my <a href='http://twitter.com/2KoP' rel="nofollow">Twitter</a> presence primarily to develop my personal brand and I concentrate mostly on writing topics. On the other hand, I'm also trying to create Brand for my husband's <a href='http://theanimalstore.blogspot.com</a>, and there are subtle differences. The work I do for his store has much more of a marketing bent. I think the lines are blurry, though, because we are also reaching for a narrow, passionate constituency that wants to support a small, independent, local pet store over the big boxes. Hmm.

I think many writers get stuck at the "brand" level, and don't engage the "personal" side. It's possibly because it IS so scary to be yourself in front of a public audience! All those fears of public speaking we developed in our high school rhetoric classes come roaring back. But, as you say, we're looking for passionate followers, and no one wants to follow a diffident artist. This is a really good distinction to draw, Judith.
