Notes to Self: Too Much Information?

Photo credit: xandert from morguefile.com

Authors live in something of a fishbowl. Gone are the days when a literary type could play the hermit. We willingly post our pictures across the Internet. We blog, update and tweet about our daily challenges, our families and the intricacies of our minds. Transparency, that's what the public wants.  And yet…

How much is too much information? Can privacy survive the information age? Where is mystery?

I sometimes struggle with these questions. I've come to believe the answers can only be subjective. We're all on a chart-your-own-adventure course. Each of us must answer for ourselves as we work toward alternate endings. I find that comforting.
