So, let me start by saying I dislike blogging intensely.
I am doing it because it was suggested that I needed to get active on social media if I was going to query and this seemed the easiest way.
I just started with wordpress.
Is that really the best way to go? I quickly found out that none of my friends or colleagues (no one I know blogs) can like or leave comments because they don't have a word press account (and no plans to get one) I'm not sure if there an easy non techy way to fix that.
Just rambling I guess but I have used the "search" function to "find other blogs" and so far, have found maybe three that actually have anything to say (in which I have an interest.) I just don't have time to sit and read a bunch of blogs and then try to find something "new!!" "fresh!!" "exciting!" to get people to look.
How important is this? It (to my totally goober, uneducated eye) seems like a black hole that will suck any time away from writing what I do like (fiction) If it is important, I can do it. My friend (who also cannot even like the page) and I were joking about bizarre and likely highly inappropriate blog topics and sure, I can, if I think about it, find something. But really, I'm not scaling Everest. My daily life is pretty fucking dull (and from what I can read, so are other peoples') Is this a time to pull up those bloomers, grow up and get after it? Or...not.
Just venting.
