I was talking to someone the other day, and they told me that, if I wanted to be successful at anything, I needed to promote myself and get people liking me on Facebook. This person somehow managed to have over 10,000 likes on their own page. How they managed to have so many, I honestly have no idea.
But either way, they have a point. One way of making myself more known – not that I really want popularity or anything, but still, it would be nice to have a handful of people buying my books instead of…well, no people. I don’t care so much about money and such, but it would be somewhat…gratifying to know that some people have read my work.
After all, I write to make other people – and myself – happy. Telling stories is important, as is reading them.
Anyway, getting back to the purpose of this post. I considered allowing my personal account to have “followers” but…the problem with that is I have friends and family on my account. I don’t really care about people knowing a lot about my life – its not really all too exciting and I doubt I’ll be getting 10,000 followers…although, that would be totally awesome! – but there’s no way I want to put my best friends at risk, nor do I want to put my family at risk.
So, I created a page. A page where I can continue to be anonymous, but people still get to follow me and listen to my random ramblings from day to day. The name of this page is The Preoccupied Writer. So, why not check it out? It’s very, very quiet at the moment, but as time goes on, that’ll change.
So, how about you go over there, give me a like, read my random things from day to day…see the random photos and links I come across and find funny…
Enjoy it!
