So, even if I stay at my present number, I will be satisfied (like john cusack--"I'm walking around, satisfied" "Lloyd, Lloyd all null and void, listen to the truth you're tryin' to avoid--Lloyd dissed in the Malibu, doesn't know what to do...")<br /><br />As far as the writing--do you have an Alpha? Someone who reads your draft in rough form, and tells you when you jumped the shark? Because sometimes that is good when you are stuck on a WIP. (Although I guess that opening and closing a document doesn't necessarily mean stuck...)<br /><br />I'm sorta glad that I forgot you were blogging every single day, and came over to comment so late, so that it cuts down the ammount of people who will see this very random comment.Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-62330831157862046532010-01-31T16:58:28.352-05:002010-01-31T16:58:28.352-05:00I've seen a lot of writers become better write...I've seen a lot of writers become better writers from blogging. Seriously, they're getting a feel for voice, which is so important. I can name at least ten bloggers I could identify purely from a post, without seeing their photo or anything...merely by their approach to the world, word choice, sentence construction, etc. Moral: Blogging is not a total waste.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333494452915600562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-80968586449380322142010-01-31T15:44:51.568-05:002010-01-31T15:44:51.568-05:00*Taking award back.**Taking award back.*Jonathon Arntsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366218140886892757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-53150313955844160542010-01-31T15:41:38.728-05:002010-01-31T15:41:38.728-05:00lmaolmaoNatalie Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116611923169722657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-43388564389690496232010-01-31T15:40:24.085-05:002010-01-31T15:40:24.085-05:00Somewhat kidding, but regarding your post about ch...Somewhat kidding, but regarding your post about chatting, I don't have any of those things.
