I originally got into blogging when the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vampsandscamps.blogspot.com\/\">Vamps and Scamps<\/a> got together.\u00a0 Dianne Castell and Luann McLane invited me and several other authors to join their yahoo group, rename it to suit the bunch of us and start up a blog.\u00a0 Yes, we wanted to use it for promo and for contests, but also just a place to chat with the readers who hung out in our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/ScampsVampsandSpicyRomance\/\">yahoo group<\/a>\u00a0and other bloggers.\u00a0 We talk about our books, we talk about books we like by other authors and we do <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/vampsandscamps.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/interviews\">interviews<\/a>.\u00a0 We let the readers pick the questions we&#8217;ll ask the authors and we try to throw in a contest with the interview as well.\u00a0 Light reading for the most part and we steer clear of negative stuff, which does include reviews.<\/p>\n<p>One comment I&#8217;ve read, voiced by several different people, is that readers don&#8217;t want to go to an author&#8217;s blog where it&#8217;s nothing but a cheerfest for books their friends have written.\u00a0 But something that&#8217;s not always easy for readers to understand is how touchy a situation it can be for authors when it comes to their views on another author&#8217;s work. It&#8217;s a dicey situation.\u00a0 Plain and simple.\u00a0 Why is it dicey? Wwwwwweeeellllll&#8230;. several reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One, it can look like we&#8217;re picking on the author.\u00a0No matter how nicely we phrase it, no matter that we had absolutely no\u00a0purpose in mind other than sharing our opinion.\u00a0If it&#8217;s a popular author, it could be construed as jealousy, pettiness, spitefulness or all sorts of other -nesses.\u00a0 This can lead to readers not wanting to visit the blog, especially if they absolutely adore the author who got the not so great review.\u00a0 For all the reader knows, the two authors could be great friends.\u00a0 You can be friends with another author and not care for their books.\u00a0 I know several people I adore but I don&#8217;t really care for their writing.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a reflection on that person, just my personal tastes.\u00a0 But if a reader reads the less than great review and they adored the book, they could decide to\u00a0<em>never ever not in a million years<\/em>\u00a0read that blog&#8217;s author again, or buy their books, no matter what&#8230;sounds kind of extreme in my opinion but I have seen it.<\/p>\n<p>Two, authors can take their books very personally.\u00a0 I mean, yeah, I think we should, by all means, take the book personally.\u00a0 We wrote them.\u00a0 For however long it took to write that story, that story became our world, in some limited sense.\u00a0 Or unlimited, depending on the author.\u00a0 But that doesn&#8217;t mean if\u00a0a fellow author\u00a0doesn&#8217;t like my book I&#8217;m going to slit my wrists with one of my bookmarks.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not going to find a picture of her and draw a moustache on it or write her name and email addy on the restroom wall of the local bookstore, <em>Call for a good time&#8230;<\/em>We&#8217;re not in high school.\u00a0 <strong>But<\/strong> I have seen authors take other people&#8217;s viewpoints so personally, you&#8217;d think some stranger walked up to them in the mall and said, <em>that&#8217;s the ugliest baby I&#8217;ve ever seen<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I try not to let myself get that worked up over it.\u00a0 But posting less than great reviews on books can lead to a world of trouble for authors and frankly, it&#8217;s not worth it.\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;ve loved every book I&#8217;ve ever read.\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t.\u00a0 But when I read a book I don&#8217;t much like, I just don&#8217;t post my opinions about it. So by default, if I talk about a book I&#8217;ve read in my blog, chances are I&#8217;ve enjoyed it.\u00a0 The ones I haven&#8217;t enjoyed, I simply don&#8217;t mention.<\/p>\n<p>About authors visiting blogs other than their own, that&#8217;s got to be up to the author.\u00a0 I lurk on quite a few.\u00a0 I post on just a couple.\u00a0 Some are more reader-oriented and I try to make note of the general atmosphere before I decide to comment.\u00a0 If it seems more geared towards readers, I don&#8217;t want to go in wearing an author hat.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been made clear in a couple of different places that readers aren&#8217;t always comfortable discussing books if an author is around. That&#8217;s fine with me&#8230;I understand perfectly.\u00a0 There are some things I discuss among authors that I wouldn&#8217;t discuss on my blog so I can see where readers also want their own &#8216;home&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>But there are blogs where authors\u00a0seem welcome, for example <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dearauthor.com\/\">Dear Author,<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dionnegalace.com\/\">It&#8217;s not Chick Porn,<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.karenknowsbest.blogspot.com\/\">Karen Knows Best<\/a>, &amp; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redwyne.com\/\">The Good The Bad &amp; The Unread<\/a>, although I wouldn&#8217;t go to any of those blogs if you have the <em>I am the greatest author ever<\/em> mindset.\u00a0 Actually, if that&#8217;s the mindset you have, you&#8217;re going to have a hard time fitting in anywhere, IMO.<\/p>\n<p>Other reasons some authors might not blog&#8230;\u00a0 time constraints, not familiar with blogs&#8230; (technophobic~blogs may seem pretty easy to some of us but for some, they are probably pretty intimidating.\u00a0 I know some people who are still scared to death of the <em>www<\/em>.) or they just don&#8217;t see the need for it.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging can also be very <strike>addicting<\/strike>\u00a0time consuming&#8230; back to the <em>Art of Procrastination<\/em> deal I posted on Vamps and Scamps a while back.\u00a0 I could spend hours hopping thru blogs.\u00a0 And get absolutely no writing done.\u00a0 Since I get paid to write, not blog, I have to limit myself.<\/p>\n<p>Author blogs do tend to come and go. A few that I enjoyed a year ago haven&#8217;t been updated in weeks\/months.\u00a0\u00a0I figure that blogging is the &#8216;new&#8217; thing right now and some blogs are going to be here for a good long while, but others will just sit, stagnate, get out dated and basically do nothing more than take up space. Me, I plan on using mine and I&#8217;m going to keep visiting the blogs I like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That is the question&#8230; well, at least for this week.\u00a0 ;o)\u00a0\u00a0 Over at Dear Author\u00a0there was an interesting question about whether or not authors should<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shilohwalker.com\/website\/2007\/02\/too-blog-or-not-to-blog\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Too blog or not to blog&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10161045129738658_54762468447":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_bluesky_dont_syndicate":"","_bluesky_syndication_accounts":"","_bluesky_syndication_text":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-websites-promo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Too blog or not to blog... - Shiloh Walker<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shilohwalker.com\/website\/2007\/02\/too-blog-or-not-to-blog\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Too blog or not to blog... - Shiloh Walker\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"That is the question&#8230;
