11 April 2013
The last two weeks have proved interesting to say the least. I’m not a technophobe as I don’t hate technology, but I have generally tried to avoid it. My digital footprint used to be minuscule. Not any more. Two weeks ago my website went up, then The Bridge of Dead Things was published as an e-book, and now I have this wonderful author page on Goodreads, this on-line community which I am rapidly beginning to cherish.
Technology is a stalker. A year ago I had no idea what html was; when I first saw it, it looked like mindless gobbledegook. I now prefer to edit in html over Word. Two months ago I would have hazarded a guess that an SEO was a Senior Executive Officer; now I write for my website with the sound of search-engine spiders scurrying through my mind. I can google myself and find me there. The only difficulty (or is it my one salvation?) is that I don’t yet have the internet at home. I wonder how long this unusual situation will be allowed to last?
