I just created a web site for myself. I am told by the experts that I should have a presence on the web aside from social media, if I expect people to take my writing seriously.
I need to stop wasting so much time and energy wondering if my 400-plus Facebook friends will notice or care about my latest rantings. I am a conservative. Most of my Facebook friends are liberals. I "friended" them or they "friended" me based on our mutual enjoyment of theater, music and other such things.
BRAVA! I applaud this decision for several reasons. One, because I suggested you start a blog!! (Just kidding.) Really, it's because no one should ever feel hemmed in or silenced or "coerced" to water down their voice to please others. FB can do that- it makes us lose our authenticity, even involuntarily, because we don't want to offend anyone at the party. But the world would be a very boring place if everyone thought and said and felt the exact same way. So rock on, Betty, and I look forward to more of your rantings! Congratulations. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy. I appreciate your encouragement.
