backing away from most of social media

Once upon a time, I was a social media fanatic. I loved everything about it. Interacting with readers and writers. Sharing good news and celebrating others. And the list goes on. But I don't need to tell any of you that a lot of that has changed now. A good portion of social media has become a place where people go to argue or to scream into the void in the hopes their voices will be heard. There's less social about it, and that's not good for anyone's mental health. 
So, I'm taking a step back from some social media. I'll be taking my Facebook author page down and will only update my Instagram whenever the mood hits me. It won't be something I schedule any longer. I'll be tweeting the same way. And Pinterest is going back to what I used to use it for...for fun.  This doesn't mean I'm disappearing off of the internet. Instead, I'll be amping up my presence on Bookbub and Goodreads. I'll focus on growing my newsletter to bring you even better giveaways and fun things. I'll still be here on my blog, which I'll probably start updating more often, and my website will always be here. And I'll be spending some more time at local bookstores and venues. 
I want to focus more on what it means, for me, to be a writer...that's engaging with readers. I'm not doing that as often on social media. Hopefully, this way, I'll get to know more of you, and we can build a community in another way!
