Cleaning House is Sometimes Needed for Sanity!
Recently I have been cleaning house so to speak, getting rid of things I no longer need and more importantly getting rid of negativity in my life, or at least as much as I can. Yes I am physically cleaning my house and throwing away or donating things that are cluttering up my life. I have more to go, but I am off to a good start.
But my real focus has been on people, especially in the realm of social media, that are such my energy and who are negative. I started first by deleting all I could from goodreads and shutting down my user profile. It just reached a point on that site where all I saw was negative, not even talking about reviews of my books, but if I looked for a review of a book I was thinking about buying and wow, reviews should not be personal, they should be about the work and since I highly doubt most people knew the authors personally I could just not get over how mean they were.
Second I have been cleaning up my Facebook page. I have deleted over 400 "friends" that were either negative, who only talked to me when they wanted something, or who I really didn't have any clue who they were. If we have never interacted, well then we probably aren't friends. I have a feeling even more people are going to be getting cut in the near future. I still have my author page and that is where I will be interacting the most with readers. My personal page is going to go back to being just that, personal.
I am also going to start revamping this blog again, likely going back towards how it began, a blog about a gal just going through life, a gal who happens to write and do art. I am done listening to people who want to tell me how to write, what to write, how to live. I am just going to do me and try to be more positive in life. The world can do with a little more positive don't you think?
