How Much is Too Much?

Posting on Facebook? I’m truly curious. When you follow an author, what are you looking for? Me personally, as long as posts aren’t offensive, scrolling by things doesn’t bother me. I’m on Facebook often enough that I like seeing new things when I’m there. And during an author’s release week or blog tour, I expect more than the usual amount of posts – and if that author normally gives me daily chatty, fun, HOT men type things, I forgive them the promo spree because … that’s the business end of having an Author Page as opposed to just their personal page.

The reason I ask … I guess I’m feeling like lately I’ve been using Facebook as my personal writer’s playground, so to speak. I share a blog (thank goodness because I wouldn’t want the responsibility of entertaining you on a daily basis. I’m a spur of the moment kind of girl, which means I can post often on Facebook … or force myself to remember once or twice a day. But when I’m “ON”, I’m ON. And lately, because I’m in constant writing mode and deadline, I guess I’m more ON more often than not. I received a note asking me to stop posting on this woman’s feed because she gets too much. I politely told her then to please unsubscribe from my page, because she controls what she sees of mine, I don’t. Of course I never heard back.

I used to not “get” the whole Facebook thing – and I think that’s because I was limiting my use. Now, I go when the urge strikes and I discovered that I I love interacting with readers online. I love sharing the cute furry animals, the jokes, and the occasional hot man. I like asking questions and hearing what you have to say. And I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t enjoy the rush of a book release week – and yes, the constant flurry of promo posts that entails.

So … I’m sure many of you LIKE my page. How much is too much? Am I too much? I’m guessing if I were, you’d just UNLIKE. I mean, that’s your prerogative, right? Just like it’s mine to post at will?

So knowing you’ve been forewarned, after you answer me here, go on, LIKE me if you haven’t already. You know you want to. LOL!
