Just keep being you, and that's fine with me.

In the early days of LJ, a lot of the people who followed me didn’t read my books. LJ was more about interacting with community than it was about interacting specifically with my readers. And that was fine.

But at some point people did start to appear or comment - about my books - and I realized that LJ was my de facto presence on the internet as an author. But I felt really self-conscious talking about my books in a community that was not, in fact, about my books - so I created an author web-site, where I could do that.

And I did post to LJ, but as time went on, I posted less - although that’s also in large part because of time constraints. But - thank you :)
