Yeah totally this. The writers I follow on social media are a mixed bag of *COMING UP FOR AIR FROM ALL THE WRITING* to "here's an awesome recipe, get it in your face!" to thoughts on various tv shows they're watching/books they're reading. At least you get a sense that this interests *them, this is what they're like outside of being THE AUTHOR, that it's worth talking about or sharing with other people.

I hardly ever get that sense from LKH's blogs; it's always about her pontificating from up on high. I know I saw a tweet about the shooting weekend being for 'research' [source (https://twitter.com/LKHamilton/status/490676908103708672)], so it's a pity she didn't mention that in the blog or one of the new things she learned in case it's useful for others.
