How has (have) your week(s) been? Mine seems to have disappeared in a flash. A bit like the weekend, even if I did have Friday afternoon off and am probably still in bed as you read this. Assuming you can read this ... Will be trying my best to maintain my current OTT blogging schedule but with one small hitch. The lovely folks at Twitter (read EM) have decided to make life exceedingly difficult for sharing (unless you pay the mega bucks) and my posts are no longer going to autoshare from the blog. Pain. In. The. Arse. I'm trying a few other solutions to avoid having to remember to manually post, but if you spot gaps in my bloggage, it's probably because the posts got trapped somewhere and I am too busy to a) notice or b) chase a solution.
I'm not going to lie. Love the blog. Love the people I have met as a result of blogging. But, by heck, it's getting harder and harder to remember why I am doing this. 'Pissing in the wind' and 'shouting into a void' are two phrases which spring to mind right now, and the only people who are really affected are the publishers whose work I am trying to wax lyrical about. I gain zero revenue from the blog - it is a hobby. Just a very stressful one these days. And I actually PAY for the privilege of being stressed as I pay for hosting, web address etc, as well as the various book events and books I buy to keep this all going. I am pretty sure this is what is referred to as 'madness'. Good job I love books, right?
Been sharing Pop! Jack Torrence a lot lately but he really is channelling the inner me right now ...
