—————————

9. How do you indulge yourself (every once in a while!) to stay healthy and balanced?

I was going to say “bourbon” but you said healthy and balanced. (But I do like bourbon.) :)

10. What is the one vital marketing ingredient that has helped you become the professional you are today?

I’m of the belief that EVERYONE should have a Twitter account. Because the way to learn how to use Twitter is to…use Twitter. Outside of that, let people know what you do by doing it.

11. When you are faced with a setback or an enormous business challenge, what do you do to keep moving forward?

Pick another project and work on it. As a writer, no matter if you’re writing TV/film/web/cereal boxes, you always have to be creating SOMETHING.

12. Do you have any personal “wild web” role models? If so, what do you admire about this person?

Jessica Gottlieb. She’s totally real and no BS. LOVE her. I don’t always agree with her, but she respects my opinion (and I hers.)

13. What has been your biggest achievement recently that you are proud of?

The Valemont ARG (Alternate Reality Game) which starts at ValemontU.com and extends through Facebook, Twitter (7 accounts), and the fan site which is AMAZING (ValemontCommons.com.) People are really committed to the world and the game of it all.

14. How do you think social media will evolve in 2010?

We’re going to hook Twitter up to our brain. ::crosses fingers::

15. What do you think is the most challenging part about being a female entrepreneur? How do you overcome this challenge?

Honestly, I don’t think about it. Is that weird? I try to make my work stand for itself.

16. What is the ONE web marketing best practice that you would share with other Web Marketing Therapy readers?

Since I’m a writer, my perspective is to leave marketing to the marketers.

    I’m so touched, I really don’t know where to begin.

    Nina is amazing, and that she would even mention me… I’m just speechless.

    Oh and that Valemont U? Seriously fun stuff.
