Writer's Workshop 4-1-10

The Prompt.
***
List 10 things blogging has taught me.
***
MamaKat 's Writer's Workshop is in full swing...
Away we go...
***
1. There are a LOT of incredible writers out there... who are funny, concise, heartbreaking, soul lifting, hilarious and beautiful... most of them women... which makes my heart sing.
***
2. To enjoy my camera more.
***
3. The courage to send my writing pieces to publications I would never have before.
***
4. That people ACTUALLY read me... religiously... and notice when I'm not around as much... this baffles me to this day... that someone WANTS to read me... I always feel honored and loved...
***
5.That just because you can't drop in on the blogging friends everyday... doesn't mean they aren't important to my life... my blogging friends are very special to me... and it's a phenomenon I am still getting used to.
***
6. A lot of people still don't "get" blogging... and continue to look at me a little strangely.
***
7. People behave around me a lot more now... and I don't like it. People know if they do something to me or around me noteworthy, it will be blogged about.. LOL! I'll never use names.. (well... I can't say "never"... it depends on the crime...) but I will mention what was done...
***
8. My kids have to constantly ask... "Mom... are you gonna blog about this?"
***
9. uploading pictures in backwards order SUCKS!
***
10. Printing a book from my blog is the best way for my future family to really know me... when I'm gone... it's incredible.

  6. Love it! Especially 4-6, totally agree. But I tend to go easy on the people giving weird looks, since I was one of them less than a year ago ;-)

    Also, I am jealous of your ability to write the above statement about loving comments, the one thing Blogger does I wish Wordpress did! Oh well, it made me smile :-D
