I will not, nor will I ever be on Instagram or Facebook .
I find that email, blogging and generally wasting time online is time consuming as it is, I need no more outlets for wasting my life sitting at the desk, staring at a computer screen.
Besides, no one pays me for it.
Which I think might go under the heading of Unfair.
I should get paid for it.
(sulky face here)
I do this for fun , entertainment and because someone told me I should write a book.
This is easier.
I don't deal with rejection that well.
Editors are picky too .. they want you to beg according to a certain set of rules, how you write to them is important. Not what you write but how ... so that right away gave me a chip on my shoulder and I said ... to noone in particular ... screw that , I will blog instead.
I made about as much money blogging as I would if I published this in a book.
In fact, I would probably have to pay Them to sell my book.
So here you have it .. Free ...
But I don't give it away completely .... that would be Facebook or Instagram or whatever .. here you at least should leave a comment .. you know, like a tip before you leave the table.
I don't blame you for not wanting to be on those sites. I'm only on facebook to see pics of my family.. and childhood friends.. (They live in Maine where i grew up and Hubby and I live outside Portland, OR.). I'm not on Instagram, Twitter, Flicker, google Plus or any of those. And I severely limit facebook stuff. I spend too much time online as it is. I've thought about going back to being kind of a Luddite, but there are too many I'd miss!
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you're torn about where to live. So many memories...
We semi-Luddites have to stick together :)
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a fan of Facebook. I have reconnected with classmates, share photos with friends and family. However, I am NOT a fan of sharing political or religious views, at all. Too personal. I found my most recent kitty, Lette on Facebook. Stray Cats Alliance posted her photo and story. No twitter or instagram for me either.
ReplyDeletemadison, a long time ago, my husband lived in London and he used to make me laugh every time he would call someone a twit. Now it is more common but I had not heard it then, maybe on BBC but no one I knew spoke the way he did .. so twitter always makes me smile ..
ReplyDeleteand here I was, thinking I was the last of the Facebook holdouts!
ReplyDeleteI really did feel like I was the last one!
A Perfect Gray , no, there is a whole gang of us who just don't do Facebook .. welcome to the gang lol.
