I'm not solely a writer, and I like letting my followers now this! I like sharing my little adventures with them, sharing pictures of something interesting, and then I also include stuff about my book... But as you said, it's important that we don't overwhelm our followers with the same things.<br /><br />I'll keep all of this in mind when my book releases this fall! Thanks, and I hope everything is going well with your books!<br />LindseyLindsey Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479405614100115901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-7590066482844521432012-07-28T22:29:47.157-05:002012-07-28T22:29:47.157-05:00Oh, Ann:

It seems that some people have too much time on their hands so they misuse it in cruelty!<br /><br />I will pray for strength for you and better times for your daughter. Sometimes life seems to come at us from all sides, doesn't it?<br /><br />Thank you for downloading BURNT OFFERINGS onto your Kindle. The temptress on the cover hopefully will tempt a few more to download the book! She is the villainess, of course! A mysterious Greek physician tries to rescue an abandoned small girl from her. But can anyone save a girl from the heartache of being abandoned?<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the collection of short stories, RolandRoland D.

So now I have to rethink my way back. All you point out is true. <br /><br />I haven't forgotten you, my friend. Like you, I've been buried in my work, meaning my daughter's care. You and I both have important jobs!<br /><br />I have Burnt Offerings on my Kindle.

Enough about me. What do you think about me?<br /><br />That kind of "used car salesman" approach turns me off. Yet, we want others to know about our book.<br /><br />It is a tricky path to walk.<br /><br />Catherine:<br />And thank you for bookmarking this post. Let me know when you publish your book, and I will shout it out. Will do an interview if you would like when it hits the stands or the internet.<br /><br />Elise:<br />I, too, am shy on Twitter. Also I so little free time to be a good conversationalist on it. Quite a challenge: be witty and charming in 3 sentences! :-)<br /><br />Alex:<br />I smiled when I wrote #5, thinking of just such a scenario with you as you read it. My hat's off to you!<br /><br />Do you have a clone that you can do so much on the internet every day? :-)<br /><br />I agree. Twitter and the other social media is such a new frontier, I do not believe any of us use it to its full potential. But selfishness and show-boating has always turned off folks. So we must be careful in talking more about others than ourselves ... something you have perfected on your excellent blog.<br /><br />Thanks for being my friend, Alex.<br /><br />Milo:<br />I think you are being published in so many quality publications that Twitter is not needed in your case. My hat is also off to you as well. (Stetson, actually) <br /><br />You do not quit and you find outlets for your work. You are an inspiration, RolandRoland D.
