It’s very easy to squander a morning wandering around on
Twitter and Facebook. I clicked over there on the directive of the latest
article I’d read on getting published. Since my lovely agent is busy pushing my
latest manuscript on unsuspecting publishers, I thought I should help her out
by following up on the advice that publishers want to see you’re active on
these sites (at the very least these two, but they’d also love it if you were
active on Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, and several other social media sites I
hadn’t heard of.). And here’s where the trouble begins - staying active on
these sites is nearly a full-time job for those of us who are easily
distracted.
All I was planning to do was tweet a clever, profound
comment and get back to work, but before I could do that, I was distracted by a
picture of a pepperoni pizza cake – cake! – and I had to
investigate that. This proved so distracting (Admit it, that picture is WAY distracting) that I couldn't remember the clever thought I’d come up
with while running this morning, so I began reading everyone else’s clever
thoughts which seemed to revolve around food.
