Am I crazy? ... OK, you don’t have to answer that.

Earlier this evening, my friend Melissa and I had dinner at La Victoria, a local taqueria. She had her six year old son with her and a supply of storybooks to read to him while we all ate, but we managed to get a few words between us, here and there.

I was lamenting about how much work it is to publicize a book these days. At one point she asked, "Do you have a blog?" Well, of course. I actually have four of them! The Product, Topic, Gender, and Good News blogs, each with their own purpose. So she asked whether I was writing any entries on what I was just talking about.  Well, I told her, I was using the Product blog to give updates about sales of the book and so forth.

Suddenly, it struck me.  All four of those blogs have things I want to say about what I think.  Points I want to make or events I want to announce to the world.  But none of them really had anything about how I feel, really.  The real me was missing, hidden.

After all this time, writing a book so openly personal, I had published the book, then disappeared behind a curtain formality.  What I was showing the world was PR from some kind of professional writer / publisher.

So, not wanting to throw anything away, I have kept those four blogs and have now added this fifth one.  This one is about me.  The “me” hiding behind all that promotional stuff.

You are just busy that's why you tend to act that way. I am also a writer, and I understand your situation. It's never easy to gain thoughts and handle problems at the same time, it will definitely make you feel crazy because you feel like you cannot focus on something! But as much as possible, you need to keep up with the pressure because if not, there's a possibility that everything might fall apart, and we don't want such thing to happen, isn't it?

I wanted to express my gratitude for your insightful and engaging article. Your writing is clear and easy to follow, and I appreciated the way you presented your ideas in a thoughtful and organized manner. Your analysis was both thought-provoking and well-researched, and I enjoyed the real-life examples you used to illustrate your points. Your article has provided me with a fresh perspective on the subject matter and has inspired me to think more deeply about this topic.
