I have to admit; my eyes glazed over then rolled back in my
head. I took a break and went onto Pinterest- for a long while.
Some days I don’t want to tweet, FB something relevant, read
anything to do with publishing trends, or open up another submission of a
stellar proposal. I daydream about become a wedding planner, traveling the
world, or taking up welding.
I have gone to Chuckie Cheese and smacked the
heads of the moles again and again in that Whack a Mole game. Don’t judge me,
just try it sometime. Poor moles.
What brought this on? An email came into my box telling me
I had to measure my social media with these metric thingy’s. I DO NOT WANT TO
DO THAT!! #pitchinafit
How do you rebel against what we know we all must do today
to promote ourselves and sell our books?
Just like any hissy fit I pitch- it thankfully doesn’t last
long.
Metrics?
Really?
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit sayeth the
Lord.”
I will use social media again, I will ask my clients to use
it, but I will not trust in chariots and solely in the ways of men.
Learn what you need to but be sure the bottom line is- His
will done His way.
And take time off to whack a mole once in a while!
