I'm also wondering if I can attract readers to a blog. Everyone says that in this day and age, you have to embrace social media. Those who know me know that I have been disinclined to acquiesce to the pressure to "be present" on social media. I have a hard enough time being present in my real life. I struggle with device dependence, and the common stressors of everyday that unite us all. I strive to lead by example and be the one person at the dinner table who doesn't have their smart phone within arms reach (mostly so that I can openly scorn those who check every chime and alert their phones chirp mid-conversation with me). I stayed off of Facebook longer than anyone I know, and I now envy those who can still say, "I'm not on Facebook". But now, here I am, stuck between the rock and the hard place called "self-employment". And as I struggle through the learning curve of the ever changing platform that is Facebook, I remembered a blog I had when I was younger. And how blogging is a lot like journaling and a little more one sided than other social media formats. And I remembered that I had once even LIKED blogging. And that while being on Facebook and other social media sites is incredibly important if you have anything to promote, if you're not entirely comfortable with the format, you may not enjoy doing it. When you don't enjoy doing something, it's hard to turn it into a solid regular habit. Long story short, I like blogging and I need to be more active on social media. You can see where this is (hopefully) going.
