Here’s how you can find and download what information Facebook has on you (and has probably shared with other people).
Log into your Facebook account. At the top right corner is an arrow. When you click on it you will get the drop down like the image on the right.
Towards the bottom is the “Settings” link. Click on that.
At the very bottom in small print is a link that says “Download a copy of your Facebook data”.
Click on that and you will need to fill in your password again to verify it’s you.
You will need to keep an eye open for the link email. Once you get the download link you only have a few days to download it or have to start the whole process over again.
The download will be in the form of a zip file, which you can extract on your computer. In the extracted folder you will see a file called index.htm.
If you double click on the index.htm file or drag it to a browser it will open up a page where you can easily see the files you downloaded. While you are viewing the different files in your browser, all this information is now saved to your local hard drive on your computer.
Have a good day!

It ranks toward the top of the first page in Google searches, is popular across demographics, and builds an instant emotional connection with your audience.
We all know it’s important for writers to have a solid presence online.
In the past, I’ve recommended strict rules about social media use.
When my first novel was published in 2013, all I knew was that I wanted to tell stories for a living. I’d grown up seeing Stephen King, Ray Bradbury and Anne Rice do it, and, having gotten paid $25 for the publication of a short story in Scholastic magazine when I was still in middle school, I’d had a little taste of doing it myself. But I had the idea that what my readers were most interested in was the story I was telling, and that they didn’t really care about ‘the man behind the curtain.’

This is especially true if you experiment with various kinds of content, times of day, length, and other variables.

Hello, friends! Time for another #StorySocial recap. Never heard of it?
In 2013, I observed a conversation on Twitter where a publisher said they didn’t believe in author websites “for a lot of authors”—that social was a better place for authors to spend time from a marketing perspective.
We discussed social media groups during
