When it doesn't I just block. Lol! Try not to take it personal though, when we use social media we learn again that not everyone has manners. I find just asking the person not to spam you works.

You GET IT, and I truly appreciate you speaking up... I LOVED what you had to say about how people get an attitude and have this notion that, "Well, somebody told you and now you don't want to share." That is so off base and so not true. Like, first of all, how do they KNOW how you acquired your information? Since they've done no research on the topic or on you--who are they to presume how you got your first novel launched? The second part of what you said made me laugh out loud... yeah, I didn't get here by FB inbox queries to other busy authors... shaking my damned head :) Thanks Joy (I loved your rant, LOL!) ... BIG HUG! Joy, THANK YOU soooo much for your great comment!

Especially the comment about people parachuting into your lives. I'm a member of alot of FB groups that I never asked to join, never heard of before ad don't participate in but is too lazy to un-joined them. And that inboxing someone a message with 50 other people and you have no idea who they are or what you're talking about is crazy. Personally, I don't mind answering a question or two from authors because I enjoy helping people. But when it turns into becoming their free consultant that's when its a problem because as you pointed out, time is valuable. And I always hear these same soon-to-be-authors complaining about some authors being stuck up and not wanting to help and even hear the "someone told you what to do so why be stingy with the info now" comments in some groups and I just smdh at how ridiculous they're being. I read tons of books, research tons of sites, attend tons of conferences, and network with a ton of authors so why can't they do the same.... sorry now you got be ranting. lol. Great blog Leslie.

I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing. Nice post.
