Two years ago this month I started this blog. I had a vague plan of posting reviews and articles I found on books and book related matters. That happened but so did a lot of other things. Some interesting, some funny, some truly strange.
I don’t think any of us ever thought that we would be stalked or harassed or physically attacked. But that has happened. It’s easy at times like this to only dwell on the bad and lose sight of the good. I’ve met some incredible people doing this- readers, reviewers, bloggers, authors.
Of all the things I could conceive of doing when I started this, this was never anything I could have imagined. I’ve had a little problem in the last couple of days, and so I went to do something about it. What happened was not what I thought would happen.
We travel strange and fascinating roads. Tomorrow I will be going to a place that book bloggers have never considered a part of their experience but now with all the unrestrained actions of certain members of the book community it might become one. I get to go to my local office of the FBI.
Strange roads.
Wow, good luck with that! Scary stuff. I’ll be interested in hearing how that turns out for you.
Oh, and Happy Blogging Anniversary!
Thanks, I don’t expect insta-justice but it would be nice to have kev have to face up to responsibility for his posts.
I haven’t been following your blig for loing, so I don’t really know the whole situation. I just know that, as an author, I am embrassed by folks who go berzerk toward reviewers and book bloggers. Believe me, we aren’t ALL like that!
Oh, I know but you serious professional authors aren’t newsworthy. 😉
