Social Media

I am not a fan of social media.  I know we need social media for promoting our books, but for me it is a time zapper.

Yesterday after I finished blogging, I went on Facebook.  An hour went by, before I even did one thing to promote my writing.

I was distracted and I lost an hour, scrolling through Facebook.

I am not on twitter.  Seem like all they want to do is argue on Twitter.  I don't have time to reply to everyone that replies to my tweet and for me twitter sucks the life out of me.

Twitter might be great for you all, but for me, not so much. 

Then again, I do not have a smart phone.  I have a flip phone and not on the internet with the phone.

I am old school.  I want to write and publish my writings.  That is what I want to do.  If I am on social media all the time, when am I going to write?

I started blogging more regularly when I quit my job and honestly I think I am reaching more people through my blog.  I am reaching people in other countries which I think is pretty awesome.  I like to see what countries has visited my blog. 

So I know I have to be on social media, but I like blogging.  I use my blog as my website.  I blog more than using any other social media.

I am not saying that I am right.  I just decided that I can reach more people through my blog.  I am on Facebook a few times a week, but then I just get distracted.

What is your favorite social media to promote your book?

Blogging Around The World

The rain has past.  Yesterday was a very productive day.  I reread the draft of The Cross.  I reread the draft of The Way I like what I have written.  So now I just have to get my but in gear and edit like crazy.  For me that is easier than done.  I look at my desk which is piled up with legal pads, books and now I cannot find anything.
