When I began this blog I didn't really think I needed one, but some of my writer friends urged me to give it a try, and thank goodness they did! I have learned so much through blogging. There are always posts to read about upcoming writing contests, calls for submissions, writing prompts, memes, and blog contests, etc. I've "met" some wonderful people, too. Some are writers, some are artists, some are decorators and collectors, some live in the US, some in other countries. I'm truly amazed by it all.
Besides learning all kinds of information, sharing photos of some of my little treasures, searching for just the right quote to end a post, I have recently realized that blogging for almost 2 years has made me a better writer. Although I've felt at times that I spend too much time blogging, I know that the book I'm writing would not be the quality it is now, if I hadn't been writing posts almost daily. It's all been a work in progress. I needed this time and practice and knowledge to hone my writing and hopefully make my book worth reading.......by millions of people! : D
If anyone is interested, here is the link for my first post in November 2008.
I can't thank everyone enough. I truly appreciate the comments, the friendship, and the camaraderie.

ReplyDeleteI agree, even if I only began blogging this summer...Blogging does help hone our writing skills. Also, it is a pretty incredible experience to connect with people from far-off countries with just a few keystrokes. Congratulations, Becky!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky...Warm kudos on your 100 Followers. I feel the same way about blogland as you do. I will have my one year anniversary blogging in October.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about blogging ... I do have some good stories tucked away inside all of my posted photos ... and I thought of a good way to use those stories last night. It will be easier than writing my novel!
