I recorded this video before the big explosion on goodreads a week or so ago. I considered updating it, but after reviewing it decided to leave it as it is. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to leave a comment!
I think it's really difficult for an author to determine if it's okay or not. Some bloggers stated they feel that comments close down once an author says something. Maybe bloggers who welcome author comments should state so somewhere on their main page. Just a thought.
That was really great information. I love Indie authors and I honestly think that was the best thing about starting my blog - learning more about self published and small press authors. I have a hard time understanding why bloggers feel they are being stalked. It is a blog. It is public - duh. So ya'll can stalk me anytime because I love it!! LOL
Great video Rhiannon - I'm always curious about what goes on 'behind the scenes' so to speak.
Like Braine, I also like having authors comment on reviews, or other posts on my blog, but it is a tricky thing - words on the internet can so easily be taken out of context.
Not gonna lie - I rewound to watch your cat walk by in the background ;)
ReplyDeleteThis was a really great vlog, enjoyed it! Very informative!
I had to re-do one video where both my cats decided to hijack the taping. It was pretty funny.
DeleteYes it is informative but for me, I like it when the author checks our reviews and leave comments as long as it's a civilized one.

Looking forward to your next discussion!
Thanks, Kat!
DeleteI've had a few moments online that caused a lot of stress, so I know exactly what you mean!
