I've kept reading because I'm a fan of you and your informal writing, not your fiction, so I'm pretty much not who you want in a reader. I've learned from your blog that your writing habits would never work out for me, but I've kept you on my friends list because I enjoy reading about your day, and your thoughts on politics and religion and video games and movies, and as a reminder that being a professional writer is as much or more work than becoming a professional writer.

Actually, I've kind of mellowed on this over the last couple of years, the whole "buy my books if you're reading the blog for free" thing I used to go on about. I say if you're enjoying the blog, then, hey, it's good to have you here. Yeah, it'd be nice if everyone who likes what I write here also loved all my fiction, but there you go. I'm reminded of a friend of mine who loves Harlan Ellison's commentary but not his fiction. I say stay as long as you're enjoying it.
