I just started a blog maybe a month ago and for me the jury is still out...<br /><br />I started the blog just to figure out how to do in as much as anything--so if there came a time where I really "ought" to have one, I would. Now I have mixed emotions about it.<br /><br />It's fun to have a creative outlet that's different than book I'm working on, so in a way it can be a nice break. And, I've made a few on-line friendships through it already and that's been fun.<br /><br />But I've had moments of "Sheesh. I need to get something posted. Sigh" that leads me to wonder if it's draining rather than energizing. I'm almost at the point where I think it is both, if that's possible. Generally the more I have to do the more I get done--busy is happy for me. But this has made it awfully easy to put off work I ought to do on my WIP and still like I'm being productive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-23424334504484833712011-07-26T06:50:08.572-07:002011-07-26T06:50:08.572-07:00R.L., thanks again for the Rusch article.

Especially this:<br /><br /><i>I'm coming to think that online social networking has had a high excitement rate and a high participation rate because it was so new. Now fatigue and overstimulation are setting in, and people are realizing they don't want to be everywhere all the time online. They're starting to pick and choose where to be, and for how long.<br /><br />I don't think the ultimate answer is whether to be online or offline, but how and how much to be online.</i><br /><br /><br />I totally agree with that and one of our goals here at SVP is to help people find that balance and to act as a counterweight to all the voices urging us to be online more, do more social media, reach out more, connect more, and all those things that can drain an introvert.<br /><br />I do think some of the famous names who ‘aren’t even on the internet’ got famous through writing really great books. (And by not on the internet, I mean not active in social media. I don’t know any authors who don’t at least have some sort of website). Kristin Cashore comes immediately to mind as a recent example of someone who was a debut author, had only a blog/website combo, and who has done very, very well simply through the excellence of her books. <br /><br />I think it’s really easy to forget that there is a huge segment of the population out there who do NOT find their reading material through the internet. I would say over 80% of my book sales have happened outside of my online involvement, and I’m not alone in that.<br /><br />Anne, I agree with you that in the case of a self published author, the need for online participation is probably greater. For one, so many of self published books sold are e-books, so your readers are more connected than perhaps readers of traditionally published (and printed!) books. However, even then, there are some schools of thought that say writing the next book is a better expenditure of your time. If you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend you read Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s article on promotion. http://kriswrites.com/2011/04/06/the-business-rusch-promotion/ And she is a huge advocate of indie publishing!R.L.

I totally agre...Thanks for these interesting links.<br />I totally agree on the importance of mulling time, and it's interesting to see that there are some studies on hyperconnectivity.<br />I also enjoyed Allison Brennan's post. Nevertheless, I can't help thinking that the best content in the universe is meaningless if nobody knows it's there...<br />As it happens, I'm not on Facebook or Twitter, and I blog more for its own sake than in expectation of selling my books through the blog... but I certainly have internalized that message out there that if I don't sell books it's because I haven't done enough. Really, as a self-published author, if I don't let people know about my books, how will that snowball of word of mouth get started? So isn't it in fact my fault if no one knows my books exist?<br />Keep up these thought-provoking posts!Anne E.G.

Learning what we're doing must precede trying to sell it to someone else.<br /><br />I have been very tired of hearing about writers who "aren't even on the internet!" and it would usually be some hugely famous author. I always wanted to say: but what about the results of disconnection for the rest of us, the mere mortals? The ones nobody would ever hear of if it weren't for our online presence?<br /><br />The irony is that Fields finishes off his article by inviting us to subscribe to his newsletter, and Valentinelli spread the results of her social-media disconnection experiment over several blog posts. And I wouldn't have heard of either of them without this blog.<br /><br />In fact, Valentinelli seems to have maintained a pretty hefty online presence during her designated offline time: she kept blogging, her blog fed to Facebook and Twitter, her Facebook page was still up and still accepting friends, and she stayed on email. <br /><br />I'm coming to think that online social networking has had a high excitement rate and a high participation rate because it was so new. Now fatigue and overstimulation are setting in, and people are realizing they don't want to be everywhere all the time online. They're starting to pick and choose where to be, and for how long.<br /><br />I don't think the ultimate answer is whether to be online or offline, but how and how much to be online.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-61743415617458436332011-07-25T06:56:48.329-07:002011-07-25T06:56:48.329-07:00Loved the post by Jonathon Fields.
