I have used social media like Facebook and Twitter for my outlet of complaining now for a couple years. It has greatly affected my output and my satisfaction with writing. That is, it has made me hate writing things down. In about the same time period I have increased my personal journal, which I do not publish, and my Evernote use. Evernote satisfies another itch. The itch that tells me I will get old and forgetful then die someday aand I need to leave a note to the reader along the way of what I thought. It also keeps my serial numbers and receipts. It also keeps what books I’ve read nd stuff like that. Order info, banking records. Everything.
I have pondered the deleting of my social media accounts about 35 time a day lately, up from 8 to 15 times a day. I will not do this only because I have to have a place for people to send me photos of their animals and children (but I repeat myself) every seven minutes. i will keep them to link theses posts and other stuff that goes on the blog, vlog and wherever.
I’ll try to put political stuff on Twitter and personal stuff on Facebook. Not that it matters. I think I have been obfuscated by both platforms as a
conservative and ther for in need of silencing.
Anyone out there still reading this blog? Any echoes? Any thoughts to pass back? Please put them in the comments or track me down on twitter.
