The fact that people actually take the time to read it still amazes me. I say do it for you and don't worry about the rest. It will all fall into place eventually.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995851593213427196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748120279251102636.post-48494530058079256472009-06-19T11:43:53.469-07:002009-06-19T11:43:53.469-07:00I figure you have to be having fun blogging or the...I figure you have to be having fun blogging or there's no point.

I don't have any books to sell and I just blog about the things I'm passionate about. I think being nice to people and encouraging them along where you can, saying thanks when they take time out to encourage you is all you need to do. I recently started just blogging through a character's voice and rather than have to force myself now, I'm feeling like I'm hitting my zone and really enjoy blogging. Find something you love to talk about and let the words flow.Nara Malonehttp://narasnook.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748120279251102636.post-38533518382650822462009-06-17T08:08:33.180-07:002009-06-17T08:08:33.180-07:00Good points, Elle.

I don't even go to those blogs often. What draws me are posts about intriguing posts written well. Could be about kids, animals, a hot topic in the news. So I'm wondering how those folks come up with such interesting topics. <br />:) MarieMarie Hartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722761134690362076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748120279251102636.post-35171167462612549832009-06-16T19:05:50.607-07:002009-06-16T19:05:50.607-07:00Thanks, LD.

So saying, I'm not a published author and using my blog to reach out to readers or anything even remotely along those lines. As a reader, I enjoy hearing news about upcoming releases and works in progress, of course. But I also like the chance to get to know my favorite authors to a certain extent because I feel like it enhances the reading experience, making it more personal as it were.<br /><br />I enjoy reading your blog and certainly don't expect a response every time I comment here. Nor do I feel like you are obligated to check out the personal blogs of your followers. Etiquette schmetiquette... I say just go with the flow!<br /><br />I think a blog is a reflection of it's creator and as a reader, we can take it or leave it. I for one, will take it any way I can. :)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374126021521849219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748120279251102636.post-4728629416000077192009-06-16T15:40:16.767-07:002009-06-16T15:40:16.767-07:00Hi Marie!
