A small random rant...

I hate it when bloggers I've gotten used to following for their interesting, content-driven posts suddenly finish writing a book and then blog only about their book and their speaking engagements.

wading through self-promotion is the price you pay for reading a "free" blog...

When I write my own book and start to endlessly list my recent reviews and the next stop on my book tour, I hope you'll still feel tolerant!

Tell it, brother!

(This has happened to 4 bloggers whose blogs I read...and I'm happy for them, but I'd be still happier if they'd actually blog instead of going all narcissistic and 'yay me' for months and months! How much energy does it take to post once a week?)

At first, I was going to say something about how much work goes into promotion and there might not be any energy left over for general bloggage, but then I realized, if it were me, I'd probably love a chance to take a break from all that promo stuff and just, y'know, write.
