Friday Done List
Goal 1. Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor
- Submitted a short story and humor piece, both to nonMedium publications.
- Worked on a humor piece.
- Was disappointed that I couldn't find some material I had sent myself to use in another humor piece. I mention this, because I spent some time looking for it this afternoon.
Goal 3. Community Building/Marketing/Branding
- Wrote three blog posts. Four counting this one.
- Promoted a couple of blog posts.
- Signed up for a social media Zoom workshop I knew I couldn't attend, but the organization is supposed to provide a recording for a month. Yeah, that hasn't appeared. I am missing Off Campus Writers' Workshop, which is stellar with its Zoom administration.
- Having to cool my heals over that social media workshop is disappointing, because I'm considering joining either BlueSky or Instagram. I'm not in a hurry to leave Twitter, but it has changed dramatically since the election, filled with people angsting over the election or angsting over the number of people leaving Twitter and should they leave, too. The ratio of literary messaging to noise is way down. The place may not be a good use of time now.
Goal 1. Adult Short Stories, Essays, and Humor
I remember thinking two years ago that Twitter was done, but this time I think it really is, for the book world, at least. Engagement is much more robust on Bluesky, but it's such a big time suck and I... increasingly don't care. We'll see how things go.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have problems with Twitter until very recently. But I also have to admit that in a really practical sense I wasn't getting a lot from it professionally, either.
