I read an article a good ways back that talked about platform building. It said that even before I’m published, I should be working on building a following so that once I am published, I will have an already established audience. Okay.
The last time I checked, I had 600 followers on Twitter. Not nearly that many on Instagram or Facebook. So it seems that Twitter will be the main social media distribution avenue for news and new material.
But, let me tell you something…Twitter is overwhelming. It is monumentally impossible to give equal time to the people whose attention you demand. Is this how celebrities do it? They just open it up and see whatever they see and “Oh, well,” for the rest? I haven’t reached a place where I’m okay with that yet. I don’t know that I ever will. I feel guilty about asking somebody to look at mine when I can’t guarantee that I’m gonna look at theirs.
I can see already that this is gonna require some couch sessions.
