First impressions

To blog or not to blog? 

As a new author to this technology scene of today I had to create some new social media pages for promotion *gasp! The horror, I know*. A question that was on my mind was: To blog or not to a blog? (If Hamlet were alive he wouldn't have had time to focus on revenge in between checking his Facebook,  tweeting to his followers, and snapping snazzy pics for his Instagram).  When does technology become too much and we lose the control over our virtual pages and our pages control us? 

 I have never been much for social media, and as I sit here and write I can't help but wonder what affect all of this technology has on us. I love to write and I think some blogs are amazing, don't get me wrong. I just wasn't sure if I was the type of author who could blog. Novels, sure. Blogs have to capture attention in the blink of an eye. I'm more of a build up a relationship with the characters in the books and go from there kinda gal. 

A more seasoned author recommended that I start blogging for practice, and so here I am! Anyone that knows me would tell you that I am technologically/social networking challenged. *in fact I just texted quite a few saying: Get ready to be terrified! I just started a blog! if that gives you any kind of indication* 

If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to give them!
