It is inevitable. If you have a website with a contact me section you will get some sort of spam or junk mail. I find it funny to get viagra suggestions in my inbox. I mean, sure I am a writer and I like to research all things possible, but I don't need spam coming in from my blog. I also don't need pervy pictures of male genitalia, or hints of what someone would like to do to me.
Being a somewhat public figure, I understand I have to deal with some of these things, but I always wonder why people feel the need to send some of these things. Unless I ask, and some day I might because you never know what I will be researching, I don't really think your dick pic is anything special. Nor do I need viarga (I'm a lady) or suggestions for other male enhancement. If you are suggesting it as something zombie related, hey no problem, but unless your dick literally has a mind of its own and walks off (think the song "Detachable Penis") I am just not interested.
I, by no means, claim to have any sort of celebrity status, I do know that celebrities deal with this on an almost daily basis. In this day and age though, it is probably better you don't send your dick pic to anyone, unless they ask and actually want it. First, I just don't find the penis attractive on its own, I prefer the whole package. Second, if you're not careful your picture will be all over the internet along with your name and the shame that often comes with being exposed, and laughed at.
I also am not looking for any services, be it of an adult variety, or someone stating that they can expand my readership. If my blog booms, it will because it is a good blog and people enjoy reading it, not because I've paid some stranger to promote me and expand my readership. While marketing is always a good idea, I would love to market my books, and have more readers for those. This blog is just another way of exposing myself (pun intended) and to get my thoughts out there. As a writer I constantly have thoughts running through my brain. Some are good and some are bad, but all beg to be formed, so I blog. I write about movies I've seen, because I like them and movies often inspire me to write visually. I write about hard times I am having because life is full of ups and downs and upside-downs. I write about my day and I write about my cats. I try to keep some things private, but I understand I am putting myself out there, and if someone wants to confront me about something I've done or something I've written that is fine. I just don't want the spam and junk that comes along with the expansive needs of the internet.
People seem to think that because they can, you want what they deliver. But no, I don't need meds, or male enhancements, or dates, or sexually suggestive pictures and questions, or advertising, or a weird company telling me they can publish my books for only $1000 down with books at cost, I only need readers. People who want to hear what I've got to say. People who enjoy dark humor. People who like the ramblings of a cat lover. People who are still excited about the zombie genre and want to read the dark and sometimes sad things I write.
