I dont get why anyone would tweet no good tweets to comment at. That's too bluntly mean.Rachel https://www.blogger.com/profile/05123061163236150743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704068707505574570.post-66289683702294839012012-02-21T21:28:10.010-06:002012-02-21T21:28:10.010-06:00I enjoyed reading your thoughts on this.

I like talking to authors on Twitter occasionally, but never about their books, or even about writing. I don't even like to request books from authors because the pressure of knowing they'll probably read my review is scary for me. <br /><br />The most contact I have with authors is when I'm planning a special event. I usually let them set the tone for our relationship after my initial inquiry.Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704068707505574570.post-75344876224107690512012-02-21T14:09:51.554-06:002012-02-21T14:09:51.554-06:00*sighs* Twitter!

But seeing tweets by my favorite authors, like Lisa, always makes my day. :)Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704068707505574570.post-23849794304777639352012-02-21T09:35:28.418-06:002012-02-21T09:35:28.418-06:00@Amanda - Exactly.

I much prefer to just every once in awhile join a conversation they have going that's not about how much I did or did not like their book.<br /><br />@Gina - My Twitter usage comes and goes. It's nice to have the opportunity to talk to them at least. <br /><br />@Heather - Yes, because Twitter often gives us glimpses into non-book-related thoughts, there have been times when someone I've followed has said something that made me uncomfortable. But I'm sure the same can be said for me too!Logan E.

But I think only one or two remember me and I made sure I loved their books before I made contact.<br /><br />I recently unfollowed one because one of her tweets said, "Scrolling, scrolling, no interesting tweets to comment on." I felt that was a bit insulting to everyone and she's not that great of an author, I couldn't finish her book. That will influence me on any future books she might write. <br /><br />So, I guess her behavior will affect me if I ever read her books again. But it's their behavior, not the book that makes me unfollow. I'm always willing to give them another shot at another book. Usually. :)<br /><br />Heather<br />Great topic!BURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704068707505574570.post-85555574564508945182012-02-20T07:54:26.229-06:002012-02-20T07:54:26.229-06:00Great insight!

I actually think that maintaining a professional distance from authors is a good thing. While I don't think it annoys them if you try to befriend them, I do think it blurs the line between author and reader, which has the potential to create not so great situations.Amanda @ On a Book Benderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975515860710635598noreply@blogger.com
