Are you insecure? Er... yep!

Firstly I'm going to make my monthly apology for not managing to visit many blogs. I'm trying to fit so much into my days, and you lot are so prolific - when I check Google Reader, even after a couple of hours, there are 20 new posts. This in itself makes me feel insecure, especially after Alex's guest post last week where he said he visits 100+ blogs each day. I should do more. I try to do more. I never manage it.

Anyway, that's not even why I'm insecure this month.

Social media is making me insecure. I started with Facebook a few years ago. I created a blog. A little while (well, 18 months) later, I joined Goodreads. Then Pinterest, which I came back off again. Then LinkedIn. Then I got a Twitter account. Then  I realised that I could create an Author Profile on Amazon, and did that two days ago.

That's my social media journey so far.

Now I'm wondering, if I've got a profile on Amazon, is there the same need for Nook etc. (See - I'm so frazzled, I can't even remember what the other ebook formats are!)

But I'm not sure I'm using any of them effectively... and there's always another site I've never heard of that everyone else seems to be talking about.

At the same time, I'm supposed to be writing! And I'm not doing much of that.

I should also be reading more than I am. And I really, really ought to be feeding my kids... yep, I'm almost certain I should be trying to fit that in somewhere...
