YES, you write sexual material, stop trying to hard t convince everyone you're so edgy or whatever. Drives me nuts. Jill - aw thank you! I think the key is, as you've pointed out, how you approach the topic because heck yes, this is so internal, you need to share it sometimes. Catharine - Nah, you're right. I think a blog should give readers a sense of who the blogger is and it's up to the blogger to manage who they want to be perceived as. Nancy – that’s one of my biggest peeves!

I also like reading my favorite authors' blogs and realizing that they are actually human. Makes it easier to relate to the author, I guess... Of course I could just be talking out of my ass. :) Personally, I think that blogs are a type of journal, so you should be able to write about the things that are going on in your life (though it’s on the Internet, so it’s a public forum & therefore there IS such a thing as TMI).

Hadn't seen No Reservations or Coming Undone yet. Squee! ABout the topic--thank you. I've blogged about rejection before, from a "what can I learn?" point of view. I actually think my post-pub rejection is one of the best things that has happened to my writing. It gave me a new focus and a fresh perspective. I'm often conflicted about how honest to be on my blog, and how much of myself to share. Writing is such a solitary endeavor; I can't always muddle through alone. Ooh, I like your new covers!

I had to giggle at 'wedding tackle' that's a new one. :lol: There are some particularly erotic writers that think they have to share <i>their</i> erotic experiences and come off as these sex crazed nymphos in order for people to be interested in their books. It just makes me shudder. Awesome, awesome post!
