I'm having mixed emotions about social media. Note that Google+ groups are dying, which I never paid a lot of attention to. I toyed with Ello but while ill it just didn't seem friendly. Facebook has its uses. The thing I hate the most is people who won't use email, they want to use Messenger. Since I combined writer and personal Facebook, I can't use an app--too many pings of posts, and was struggling to stay off Facebook when trying to find a good job, juggle work and health.
Was going to do Tumbler and then was told it had become the porn site. Tried to join a site as a writer to reach young readers, but they block writers unless invited. Since my H-C books reverted I may be perceived as a minor indie now?
I'm told email is dead. A problem for those of us who need/prefer it.
I have not had reliable, private Internet for months. I finally have it--but no phone. Turns out an iPhone 5c won't work with wi-fi phone. Sigh. The off-gassing of new plastic is a problem.
Have bought the VRBO instead of floating from place to place, and trying to hook up Internet and phone has shown me that maybe I should have continued to dump money into the rental market. But I am not homesteading as my permanent home this month. I need to vote absentee first. States are so desperate for income I don't want them to try and say I've lived here for five years, like they pulled with my poor mother.
Figuring I will either heal here or die here. It's a good place for either. :) (The treatment seems to have worked, but I am so exhausted it activated some side effects of an old condition, and that includes sensitivity to fragrances/chemicals/plastics/humidity.) Determined to finish this book. Would like to write another Allie book.
I hope that things are happy in the northlands. That you are with people you love, and writing, if that is still your joy, and even releasing something new? David D-B does a drive-by on my Facebook occasionally, and is always interesting. Think of you and smile.
