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?

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.

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...
