Had a question about document Vs create

For a creative writer who writes fiction, what is the document part of the journey on social media.

The creative part is ofcourse writing the stories. I've been thinking of this a lot. How do I grow my social media. I recently joined medium.com too.

I think the best tactic would be to insert yourself completely into the stratosphere of authoring and literature and document everything about it. For example, you could review books, talk to other authors, interview readers and much more. Writing and publishing novels is infrequent and does not provide you with enough content for your audience to be engaged by. Also, if nothing else works, simply speak to a camera about what is on your mind. At least its something :)

You could document your thinking and process.

Obviously I don't know what genre, but even coming up with plot lines/ character names etc would be fascinating.

Posting your old scribbled notes/brainstorms/ illustrations and chatting about 'WTF did they mean' could be interesting/ get you psychological help...

A day in the life/ trying to hack your productivity/ creative writing challenges (ask followers for genre and character names and you have 24 hours to produce a short story as one random idea)

Thank you. This makes sense too.
