I don't know about you, but it's hot where I live! Along with the heat, the summer slump is happening. For me, that means even though the days are longer, I'm getting less done. There are more family/friend events and I'm just a little less motivated.
One thing I have discovered is this. Summer is a great time for writers to do a little mid-year tweaking to our online strategies. It's also a good time to evaluate how things are going online and adjust for any issues that have appeared.
And it's no secret to anyone in publishing that the world has done some major shifting—particularly in the realm of social media. Facebook has continued to tweak their algorithms and format until nothing looks the same. Twitter has had major crack downs on spam accounts and it looks very different as well. And a little over a week ago, Meta (Facebook) has launched a competitor to Twitter called Threads. There is a LOT of controversy about Threads and I'll be posting some in-depth thoughts on that network in a couple of weeks, but I wanted to give you an overview.
