Pinning, tweeting and FaceBooking

I am spending every free moment working on 'growing my online presence'. The quote marks are mine as it's very much an in phrase. At least it is in the world of social media. In which I am living at the moment.

So I'm trawling FaceBook, Twitter and Pinterest accounts to find those with similar interests, and while there are plenty of readers, reviewers, even writers, hardly any of them are out of their twenties, while I am, well, quite a long way out of my twenties.

Following a link Debra gave me I have joined the Insecure Writers' Support Group but maybe I should search for an Older Female Writer Support Group. Or start one myself. (No, I've got too much to do already.)

I am confused often. I frequently have no idea what is being talked about. I don't even understand the language - especially acronyms - that many use. I sometimes don't know whether I'm on FaceBook or Twitter. So I grumble a lot.

This morning I said to Husband, 'Am I just wasting my time?'
'No,' he said. 'You have a new purpose, something to aim for. And you're enjoying it, aren't you?'
'Yes, I am.'
'So that's fine then.'

I do love Husband.
