My First Ever Blog

5/20/2014

0 Comments

 
I have never written a blog before.  Indeed, I rarely read them and, being a backwards sort of person when it comes to technology and all the 'modern' techniques to let the world know all about me, I didn't really think I'd ever write one.  However, here I am.  So why start now?  I'm told this is the best way for someone to market themselves, and that, if I want to be a successful author, I must blog to all and sundry to let them know my thoughts.
I will state right now that I have little confidence in my own ability to promote myself, so bear with me and my quaint, old-fashioned ways.  I don't even own a cell phone, an iPod, iPad or any other handheld device, nor do I have, or wish to have, a twitter account.  I do, however, have a facebook page, so I am not totally ignorant of the ways of the modern world.  Just mostly :) 
I also do not feel a lack for not having all these modern conveniences in my life.  I rather enjoy not having everyone know what I do 24/7, and I find the ability to actually be out of reach for non-emergencies very refreshing.  In the event that someone truly needs to talk to me, I have a landline with an answering machine, and it's worked just fine for the last 20 years since I moved out of my parent's home.  (In a true emergency, my husband has a cell phone, and he usually knows where I am, so he keeps me in touch too.)
Well, if the purpose of a blog is to state what's on my mind, then I will consider this first attempt as a success.  If, however, I've missed the point entirely ... well, that wouldn't surprise me either.

    I love reading, writing, playing the flute, and doing the occasional bit of gardening, as well as exploring the gentler side of learning to sail.
