Antisocial Media


 As an indie writer, our jobs are not only to write, but to market, and network, to build a solid community around us. There are days, however, when being "on" through social media can become overwhelming. 


Many writers use their personal, and author accounts, as one. I do not, I keep mine separate. I do share some personal details on my writer's account, but I try to stick to human interest style posts. I share the mundane daily stuff or any political, or religious believes with my family and friends. As a writer, I feel that the public only truly wants to read my stories, not know that I have dinner plans with friends, (unless their famous people perhaps).







But there are days when the thought of more marketing can be overwhelming, or just plain boring. So I just don't do it that day. Some sites say you must be present online every day. We have many hats to wear and life is extra busy when you are working, raising a family, writing, marketing, and seeking other avenues of promoting your work.
It's enough to drive a person mad.






I say nope, I need me time TOO! 





Stay sane, be happy, be creative, and stay healthy. Happy writing folks. Theresa
