I sometimes feel that way about lots of technologies - Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest. Even spaces I love can feel like a burden some days.NewMexicoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606630990174684788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4830057612844883385.post-88677468283432886902012-03-27T17:03:58.021-07:002012-03-27T17:03:58.021-07:00I'm glad you blogged about this, Nohner, becau...I'm glad you blogged about this, Nohner, because I feel a lot of pressure as a writer to blog or tweet or engage in some kind of social-media-based promotion even though I'm not really interested in doing so. In fact, I have a blog but never post to it because I just don't care enough to engage the world in my every thought. I don't think writers who use these tools are doing anything wrong or violating some abstract contract among artists, I just think they're a different type of person than me. I wonder, though, to what extent the industry accepts that sort of toned-down approach. I'm pretty sure it doesn't and I'll one day have to grin and bear it. <br /><br />That worries me because I'm afraid I'll come off as transparently disinterested in my blog space, which will negatively impact the way my work is read. I think you should only engage in social and interactive media to the extent that you're comfortable doing so. For me, I'm not really interested in doing so at all. Of course, none of this matters now because no one cares about me or what I have to say. As you know, I spend a lot of time worrying about abstractions.Christopher Rosenbluthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981972672278522456noreply@blogger.com
