I have not updated this blog in awhile. For the most part I have shifted my attention to other social media outlets. But I'm coming back to the idea that I should keep difference outlets active on the web.
There are several activities and communities I am active in, like most things, all of these have activity and presences upon the Internet. When you start to mix your commitment and communications through out these activities, it dilutes your message and confuses people. Usually people who are interested in following your out put are drawn to one specific aspect, and prefer to follow that part of your web presence. By mixing up your messages, you mix to many things together.
It is comparable to how most of us move in many social circles, but we do not try to mix the people in those social circles. Most of the times this just ends up irritating people when we do try that.
Even though blogger is not near as popular as it use to be, I have established this web presence here for a number of years. So I will use it.
Those who are interested in my writings, both nonfiction and fiction can follow my efforts on www.earltower.com or the social media of @erltyriss on Twitter or Earl Tower on face book.
I think the use of my grayburst persona I will use more for my practical interest in photography, firearms, with some overlap of archery and fitness matters here.
For the most part I have stopped posting about politics, just because those who agree with you do not need any convincing, and those who disagree with you have no interest in hearing what you have to say. Far to much of America has become a matter of political tribes, with little willingness to listen to those in the middle or even recognize that the other side is even human. I fear for the future of our civilization if this continues, but I find little merit in posting about politics any longer on social media. It merely helps fuel a tempest in a teapot.
