First, I want to thank you all for following me. I am honored that so many of you have chosen to watch my insanity in action.

When I started out on twitter, I adopted a “pay-it-forward” approach, retweeting books and book related information from authors and bloggers. I love supporting fellow authors and supporting the people who support us. Things have gone well. Extremely well. In fact, my twitter following has grown far faster than my wildest dreams. That is wonderful. Thank you.

This rapid growth has caused one small difficulty for me. I am now spending four to six hours each day retweeting material for the wonderful folks who have shared my books. In addition, I frequently reach my tweet limit, and several times my account has been locked because my retweeting activity looks like my account is an automated tweet bot. I am sorry to say, I can’t keep up this pace. I have barely managed a few pages of writing during the past month.

I am sorry, but I am going to have to cut back on my retweeting. I don’t use any of those automated services to retweet for me, and I don’t want to start now. Every tweet and retweet you see in my feed is there because I personally put it there.

I am going to try to find some way to strike a balance between twitter and my writing, my family, and my health.

Thank you all for your understanding.
