I enjoy the Web site a lot and I like being able to talk to my readers. I've always had a very close relationship with them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love being in touch with my readers and fellow writers! It's just amazing to have such access to people.
I love being honest and intimate with people. I love building community. I love emailing with readers.
I've gotten to know a number of readers from being online, and really treasure the time I've spent with them.
I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.
I think the Internet, particularly the availability of information, is great. I do a lot of correspondence on-line and have a chat line to talk to my fans as well.
I support any means to make real connections so long as that it does lead really quickly to real connections. It's the long-term online friendships and relationships that start to get a little hairy.
Honestly, what I have the most fun with, I just hang out with my cat, and I go online, and I talk to my followers, and I have real conversations with them.
I'm all about building a relationship with viewers and getting to know them.
I love the fact that so many of my readers are intelligent, exceptional, accomplished people with an open-minded love of diversity. But even more than that, I love it when my readers find lasting friendship with others of my readers - knowing that they met through their mutual affection for my books and characters makes me happy!
I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.
