It’s been a weird start to the year where I can’t seem to get into any kind of rhythm. My husband had to travel for work in early January and there have been lots of interruptions to the kids’ school schedules, so it’s not surprising that I feel this way…it’s just annoying. These last two years have been so all over the place!
I did manage to join TikTok (find me here @katielcarrollauthor) , which I’ve been hearing can be an important marketing tool for authors. It’s too soon to say if it’s helping me actually sell any books, but I am having fun…even though I’m a “geriatric millennial” and therefore old in social media terms!
This super short one is my most viewed video:
These two longer ones don’t have a ton of views, but they are more personal regarding my journey as a writer, so I’m partial to them.
Anyone else on TikTok? Share your info in the comments and I’ll make sure to follow you.
TikTok charms continue to elude me, no doubt because I am an ancient person (i.e. baby Boomer) but I enjoyed seeing the ones you included in this post. Like you, these last two years have been both a challenge and also interesting, as in a new experience I never imagined I would have in my lifetime. Onwards, Katie!
I’d say the last two years have proven to be truly unbelievable to have imagined prior to them. But we keep on keepin’ on!
Katie, I admire you for trying new things and hope tiktok is a success. These past two years have been tough on kids and the elderly and the people who care for them. It’s funny but as more of the world goes online, I’m less invested in it and becoming hyper-local. I hope this year is better for all.
I think it’s important to know what works for you. I enjoy my local connections a lot as well, and hope to be able to foster them better this year!
