A surprising twist
I've been heavily researching book review blogs these past few days. Most of them have updates such as one might expect from an isolated farmhouse enduring epic floods. Yes, my fellow Indie authors are nothing if not persistent and the review sights are besieged. Apparently, though, many of them are rude as well because I've read quite a few updates berating all the rude people asking for book reviews.
Recently, I've veered away from book review sites and looked at blogs that review many things, not just books. These blogs are more personal in nature and people post things from their personal lives. There are some thoughtful, intelligent, real people out there blogging. One mother posted a letter she wrote to her infant son about the problems they were having with their extended family. It was one of the most touching things I've read in a long time. I've really got to stop being such a misanthrope, elitist (asshole?). People expressing things on their blogs that in years past might have only made it to their diaries is something I did not expect to find on the interwebs.
