Social Media vs an Old Brain

My Social Media Brain

     It's raining, it's cold, my brain is numb from trying to work social media to promote my books, and there is a tiny rat of a dog across the way that keeps barking. Barks constantly at everything!
     However, I am not going to allow that irritating, distracting, mindless tuff of fur to ruin my day, nope not even a second longer. "Martha! Where did you put my GUN!"
     Ahh peace and quiet. (No I didn't dispatch the little bugger. I think a squirrel carried him off.)
     Now, where was I? Yes I remember I wanted to talk about Social Media.
I realize that I'm old and this new way to communicate is a far cry from when I was a lad, back then we waited for the Pony Express Riders, but that was a different time.

So I signed up for Twitter....  Then I signed up for Facebook....

Finally I started signing up for other sites, the one's writers and readers go too, such as BookBub, Goodreads, and KBoards. 

I have now spent so much time on theses five sites I no longer have as much time to write as I once did. The painful truth about being a writer, it's

On my way to Social Media slaughter

easier to create the book then it is to promote it.

Am I depressed? (Don't ask me that question) Will I be able to overcome the techie ball of tangled string called Social Media. (Of course. At one time about 5 years ago I knew all this stuff, but then I focused on my writing and was passed by.) 

The real kicker is when I read all that is being posted and tweeted, I have to wonder, does it really work? Have you seen what's out there?
Well, I'm going to keep trying and I will report back and if you want check out my Facebook page and follow me on Twitter (Those are the things you're supposed to ask.)
Have a great day, and if you have a rat of a dog driving you crazy ... don't hesitate to call.
