Last week we discussed 5 Ways to Find More Daily Writing Time. And this week we'll be switching gears back to my favorite topic: Social media.

One of the most engaging things an author can do on their Facebook and Twitter pages is to ask their fans questions. But sometimes it can be difficult to find author/bibliophile related questions. So I've compiled a list of my favorite 101 for your use.


Included are three types:

1. Fill in the blanks
2. Opened ended
3. This, this, or that.

Here they are (in groups of 10):

1. Fill in the blank: My favorite writer is _______.
