Tweeting is a Good Way to Get Ones Sea Legs in Social Media
What does it mean to get ones sea legs? It's an idiom that means to become accustomed to a ship moving at sea, to become accustomed to something in general
I heard someone say don't trust someone without a Twitter account.
Now that is extreme! Don't you think?
But, tweeting is a great connector and social media marketing tool that I love.
Don't get me wrong tweeting is and of itself is a worthy social media tool, but it can lead to other social media. My point is that Twitter is the easier thing to do and learn on.
And, it's a great discipline to have to think of saying something in a short amount of words. Practice makes shorter in writing on Twitter.
A Tweet is like a book except shorter..

Writing advice: It's a lot easier to start with tweeting instead of blogging, until you get your sea legs. What does it mean to get ones sea legs? It's an idiom that means to become accustomed to a ship moving at sea, to become accustomed to something in general

Some Background on My Soon-To-Be- Released Book
Creative Slow Cooker Meals finally answers the proverbial question, "What's for dinner? Using two slow cookers to make dinner gave me back my life and it can do the same for you. This plan is just perfect for a frazzled mom with no time in her day. It also works for my single friends that just want to cook once a week. So, whether you are a career woman, stay at home mom, home school mom, retired or out playing tennis; your dinner dilemma is now solved.
With this crowd, Mama Moeller needs a brilliant plan.
There are lots of Midwest recipes in my soon to be released cookbook because I am hopelessly Midwestern, but, I also feature chapters such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, international cuisine, super simple, and breakfast. Some of my chapters solve your real life problems such as recipes to make from the groceries you bring home from warehouse shopping trips or local farmer's markets. I also give you recipes of what to make if your kitchen seems to have a revolving door with family members coming in and out all day.
I not only give you a variety of perfect recipes, but I also plan your entire dinner menu for each day. I'm a wife, mom of six, grandmother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, cousin, niece, aunt, and friend just like you. I can't make more time in my day; it just doesn't exist. But, I can use Creative Slow-Cooker Meals to solve my dinner dilemma early in the day, every day.
I feel really smart, like I have beat the system when my complete dinner is cooking in two crock pots in the morning or at least by noon. Here's one easy "inside secret tip" for slow cooker meals prep. I suggest setting up your two slow cookers at breakfast or lunch so you can clean up the counters as you do the breakfast dishes or lunch dishes.
Creative Slow Cooker Meals is a new kind of cookbook because it's a new positive attitude toward planning meals. I teach you to use two Crock pots to easily create easy, economical, healthy, homemade dinners. You will be saving money and helping the environment because this doable dinner prep plan using slow cookers uses less electricity than if you were preparing dinner in a traditional oven.
Don’t worry about your dinner always being reduced to a mushy stew. Crock pots are not just for soup or stew anymore. Each of the more than 250 recipes has been personally cooked in my kitchen and taste-tested at my large dinner table. My family loves the results, so join them as you dig into:

Please leave, as a comment, your favorite crock pot recipe and share the love.

Should You Co-author a Book with Someone Else?
If you need someone else to write your book with you in order for you to be able to write it, then switch topics so you can write on something that you do know about.
Usually writing a book with someone else is like sharing a toothbrush with them. That is only something I would do only with my husband (not sure if Bob knows that I have done that a time or two. ha ha)
I wrote Baby Saves Christmas with my incredible oldest daughter, Melissa Moeller Briggs. It was a mother daughter duo and we had fun. Buy now on Kindle for 99 cents
Gather round the Kindle and read tonight a sweet Christmas story with delight. Click here

This Christmas... Give Jesus
The Search for Our Advent Calendar:
We went in search of an Advent Calendar for our family devotions this month. Little did we know we were on almost an uphill search something akin to the geographical exploration of Dr. Livingston in southern and central Africa in the mid 1880s. We could only find advent calendars with windows that opened to chocolate reindeer, red and green gummy worms, and Bart Simpson.
Dr. Livingston believed the Nile River source was in the wrong spot. But, many other things he was right about. Regardless of the good he did with his map making, his heart eventually changed to an eternal perspective. Dr. Livingston's life changed and he began to see his exploration for the purpose not of making maps, but making disciples. It was when he went on his Zambezi expedition that his spirit turned from the good to the Best.
Not that we don't like chocolate and gummy worms, but we wanted an Advent calendar where every window opened to Scripture and then finally on December 24th to Jesus!
Our long expedition ended when we finally found several possibilities at Christian bookstores, Hallmark Stores, and Hallmark brands at Walgreens (including one that also featured chocolate pieces).
Go out today and find your's. Then, thank the stores that carry Christian Advent calendars and buy several extras for friends and family.

This Christmas.... Give Jesus
This Christmas... Give Jesus.
As Advent begins... We shall deeply miss this year not receiving our advent calendar from our friend and seminary professor/mentor Dr. Harold Burgess. He was a great writer and speaker.
They always sent their Christmas greeting at the end of November with an advent calendar.
This year we approach advent with expectation and waiting that we will see Dr. B again in heaven some day. http://www.legacy.com/ obituaries/kentucky/ obituary.aspx?n=harold-william- burgess&pid=149815274
This Christmas... Give Jesus.
