Getting sick with the plague
Hosting a live Event on Facebook for eight hours straight
Getting sick with the plague
Losing Friends who receive a hundred emails or more during the course of your live, online, eight-hour Facebook Event
OH Marsha! I thought your event was fun. I had to just lurk, because I was at a soccer tournament and doing grandma duty. As for the hundred emails..no biggie. That's what the delete button is for! I hope your event was successful. I hope you really don't have "the plague" and if you are ill, I pray you experience a speedy recovery. Spinster's Folly is delightful...just like you. Have a wonderful, plague free week! hugs~
ReplyDeleteKari, I do have a touch of a cold or maybe winter allergies, but I'm mostly terribly chagrinned at the amount of spamming emails the Event generated. I didn't realize it was happening until I started getting complaints from those who received the onslaught. Then I lost several Facebook Friends over it. I have mixed feelings about the Event because of that, but the book release party itself actually was a lot of fun for those who were there and participating, me included.
ReplyDeleteGET WELL!!!
