I will have to find new ways of promoting the posts as I have decided to stop using Facebook, which was my primary method of promotion. Although I enjoyed interacting with fellow writers on Facebook and some friends from high school, I wasted a lot of time on it. Facebook was also a source of great anxiety as I waited for responses on blog posts I had promoted on it, which often failed to eventuate. I think I am just interested in subjects and ideas that many of my Facebook friends had little interest in. I also think that I was not taken that seriously by some and treated more of a pretender when it came to writing, which in some ways I am, as I have failed to finish manuscripts. It is time to finish some of the five novels I have in at least first draft form and some of the multiple stories I have lying around.  To do this, I need to spend a lot more time writing.

I hope to join a blogging circle where science fiction, or more broadly, speculative fiction writers interact with their blogs. Or I could try to create such a circle if I can’t find a suitable one. If you know of such a group, please let me know in the comments.

I am also going to get back into critiquing, probably on critters.org.

For the moment,  I will stay on Bluesky, as I don’t spend much time on it. It will be somewhere to visit during my arvo coffee break. I will also continue to review books on Goodreads.

I really want to turn this impostor into a published author (even if it is self-published).
