I Hate Social Media

I hate Social Media.  There I said it. 

I have been on Twitter.  I have been on Facebook.  I have 2 blogs.

It is exhausting. 

I have been on Facebook.  I have joined Facebook Writing Groups.  I have posted my books on Facebook, along with all the authors who have done the same. 

If I am on Social Media?  When am I going to write? 

I have been Self-Publishing since 2011   My Books 

I would be on Facebook posting my books on different Facebook Groups, and then I wouldn't have time to write. 

I tried twitter, but keeping up with the hashtags, and replying to everyone that comments on your tweet.  If I follow a writer, that writer would follow me.  That is great.  The fact is that is does me no good to have a hundred writer's following me, if no readers are reading my tweets

It doesn't matter if I have a thousand likes if no one is buying my book.

I could be doing something wrong, but when I am in the zone to write, I want to write.  I want to spend that time to write and not go and do social media.

So I don't do social media.  That is what I decided for the year 2019.

I decided to concentrate on blogging.

I have been blogging for years, but did not do it regularly.  This year I am blogging every week, twice a week or when I have something to say. 

Why Blogging? 

I am reaching more people, who are looking for someone who is writing.  So this blog is about me writing and self-publishing. 

I will promote my books here and other writer's books. 

I am a writer and I am going to write.

My other Blog is my walk with GOD.  I believe that we are living in the last days and that is what The Series The Way is about.  So I think both blogs are linked together.

You can have more than one blog.  I am sure you have more than one interest.

Let me know if you are blogger.  Leave your Blog address in the comment section.  It will be interesting to see what you all are blogging about.

Do you agree or disagree on Social Media?  Leave a comment.

Keep On Writing

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning. Let us follow our dream together check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
