The message sounded positive the first time I read it on a subject of an unknown person's mail. How many of these emails are you receiving? My email flow daily is about 200- 300 in one of my accounts and this particular pitch has increased to about 30+ per day. If there a way to block incoming messages by the subject?
Am I just being over sensitive in the digital world? My days seem to race past in a blur. I manage and treasure my time for writing, job and family.

I hear you loud and clear!
My agent said, go out and blog, join message boards and discussion boards so that the peoples of the world might know you have a book out. So I did, and now I get around 70 emails a day, many of them digests, which I have to follow up. And when, I ask, am I supposed to write the sequel I have such a short time to complete? And don't I get to have a life anymore?
@MayaPanika To avoid being overwhelmed I have a couple different email addresses- one for writing, one for family, bills and practical, one I use that gets publically posted (I rarely open this one it gets about 400 incoming) I try to prioritize:
my children are first, then writing 7 days a week (creating), then marketing, then exercise, crafts,cleaning, cooking, duties-
My question to all those people sending this email WHY are you continuing to blast people?
This seems to come from one of those places like "Referral Key" which is supposed to be a network for professionals looking to accept and exchange leads with other members. So far for me, it appears to just be a waste of time...I get a lot of foreign contacts but mostly in the IT arena...nothing related to what I do at all.
