Remember that one time I blogged about a new author I started reading? She commented on my blog. Then she replied to a message I put on her Facebook page. That was great.
Today I started reading the blog that Jenny Lawson writes. I blogged about reading her book earlier. I noticed on her blog she had her e-mail address. She specifically said that she rarely answers her e-mails. She said sometimes she deletes all her e-mails. I had to send her a note anyway. When I can find an e-mail address after I read a fantastic book, sometimes I send e-mails. Not every author responds. My thought is, they are still shocked that people read their books. Everyone likes to get positive feedback. The point of sending the note is not to hear back but to thank the author for writing something I enjoyed or learned something from reading.
I wrote several lines about how great it is to laugh out loud from a book. That her book was so good I wanted to read it to people. That I was e-mailing excerpts to a friend. She replied: "You totally rock!"
Awesome!!
