I confess that I have
been neglecting this blog a little of late. Partly this is due to a lack of
inspiration. Partly it is because I have been devoting more of my time to
pushing some of the social networking further. Twitter has been ticking over
quite nicely for me for a while now. Facebook I have always struggled with: I
think it is extremely user unfriendly. Nevertheless, I have been working to
build my profile and following there. In addition to my main, personal page, I
now have pages for both of my published novels, as well as for my business All-read-E. I am slowly accumulating
‘likes’, although quite what the purpose and value of these are continues to
elude me. I have also dramatically increased the number of connections I have
on LinkedIn. I have also been building a little on Pinterest. For some reason,
Goodreads suddenly seems to be building itself.
All of these
activities consume an enormous amount of time, and they drag my focus away from
writing, whether that be here or in my novels. I have been struggling for
inspiration there, too. Whether all of this effort actually serves any useful
purpose, I am still unsure.
Quite pleasingly,
visits to this blog continue to tick over, partly, I’m sure, because of these
efforts in other social networks. It is nice to see people visiting and
commenting, and even following.
I am still reading a
great deal, and I will be reviewing another self-published book shortly. I am
also following with considerable interest the political developments here in
Australia, as we approach an election.
So, all in all, I am
quite busy. Consider this blog a kind of personal update on my current
activities and state of being. In the meantime, I await a moment of inspiration
so that I can blog about something other than my very ordinary and rather
humdrum existence!
Finally, here are some
