I can't ditch FB.... it's pretty much the only way I can promote my writings. Since I don't have a marketing machine like that cunt that stole my name, I have to do it all myself, and social media is about the only way I can afford to get word out. I'm only on a few websites(here, D2F, AtariAge, and KLOV), so my exposure is very limited. With FB, I can reach hundreds of people I know, and they can share my stuff to others, increasing my outreach to several thousand people.
The market for writers is very competitive, and nothing like the music industry. They won't take a chance on a "no name", and try to make them known.... you have to prove yourself a few times, THEN you might get the marketing machine to work with you.
Sucks, but it's the reality of the situation.
Writing is about the only work I can do anymore, because I'm not on a clock. I can take rest breaks when I need to, and with the condition of my back, neck and joints, I'm really limited.
I did have 2 short stories published this year, as part of a compilation. I haven't made shit off of them, but at least they are out there.
