I have to give credit to David Peach a wonderful InfoBarrel writer, for finally inspiring me to jump into the world of social media with both feet. (Although he doesn't realize it yet.) I visited his website for the first time today and found he had a lot to say, about everything. No focused, keyword stuffed niche site stuff on his blog.
Yesterday I decided it was time to stop being a wimp about social media. I'd had my Twitter account for a few months and never tweeted once. (Well I still haven't tweeted, but I did fill out my profile.) I also followed some of fellow InfoBarrel writers, one of whom was DPeach. In the process of trying to figure out Twitter, I found DPeach's link to his website and clicked on it.
After spending months searching for just the right graphics and striving for perfection with my first blog, I just decided to go for it. Like David, I also have too many interests to count. It's the main reason I love writing - I can explore and learn about anything that strikes my fancy. I can also share my knowledge with others and get positive comments. (Which I like much better than the feedback I got from book publishers as I tried to publish a few children's books awhile back.) In the past year I've cautiously tiptoed into the world of internet writing, and though the learning curve has been steep, I'm having a great time.
I only wish I had more time to write, but I'm working on a plan for that too. I hope to share my experiences as I wind my way through the wilds of the Internet jungle. I've already met some great people on my journey, and I look forward to more great experiences with this blog and all my writing endeavors.
I hope you'll join me for the ride.
