Michael's Book Babble

I'm terrible with blogs. Or I was... That is, until I found this place.

I've never been good at writing about myself. Even if I write a story that's based on something that really happened, I'd find myself struggling. As if I were writing an essay for school and getting no joy whatsoever out of it.

I had an author blog. I still have it, I just haven't updated it in ages. I don't know. I get bored talking about what's going on with me. And I hated making posts that were clearly, "Buy my book, buy my book, FOR THE LOVE OF GAWD BUY MY BOOK!", so that was another reason I didn't keep up with it. I didn't want to make posts that came across as that. I know blogs and websites are great for promoting yourself, but I was doing horribly. Forcing myself to write a blog entry about my personal life felt like an effin' chore.

And then I found this place, and something clicked. I could blog without having to always talk about myself. I could be random. And more importantly, I could talk about what I was reading. I could post reviews that didn't seem so formal or official.

That's why I love this place. I'd much rather talk about what I'm reading than what's going on with me personally. Just because I think it's more interesting to talk about books. My life's awesome.

Sadly, that doesn't make for good writing material. :P
