IWSG

It's time again for the IWSG started by Alex J. Cavanaugh as a way for writer's to support one another by expressing their fears and sharing their successes.  We post the first Wednesday of every month.  Click here for a list of all the other participants and to add your link to join us.


Commenter's Block
I think I figured it out.  The reason I can't read and comment on hundreds of blogs in a week is because I sit and stare at the little blank comment box, then I glance at the clock and back to the flashing cursor, trying to think of something witty to say.
Nothing comes.
I scan the blog again hoping to spot an easy opening, like a "congratulations".  Finally, I've got just the right words and I notice the person's comment right above me is essentially the same.
Back to the blank white box.
I glance at the clock again, six minutes lost.  Maybe I'll move on to the next blog, but no, I have to write something since I've been here now...seven minutes.
I slump in my chair, type two words, and hit "publish your comment".  It reads:

great post!  


Does anyone else do this? or am I all alone in my comment challenges?

Don't forget to check out all the other participants here.  I'm off to try to comment on at least four of them before noon! :)

KOMF Winners!

The Knights of Micro-Fiction (KOMF) are steadily growing in their ranks.  If you missed this month, that's ok, join us next month (the last Monday of the month), click here to add your name to the linky list. We'll send an email reminder to everyone on the list.  

We had some great entries this month and it was hard for Jess and I to narrow it down to only two winners but in the end we chose:  

T. Z. Wallace from One Year Until Book Launch    

Aldrea Alien from Thardrandian Thoughts

Yay ladies!  You did a fabulous job!  You two will be getting an email from Jess and me so we can feature you on our blogs!

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us.  

Also Rosalind Adam has a great post about Plotting and Life Lessons.  Head over and check it out.

Blog Make-Over

In other news you probably have noticed a different look to my blog.  Jess made my new header and helped me give it a more clean look.  I'd love to hear what you think about it now.  And if you have any other suggestions for making it look even better I'd love to hear them.  Do you change the look of yours often or has it stayed the same since the beginning?

Awesome

I don't know how you keep track of all the great blogging ideas floating around through your head, but because I can never find the same pad of paper more than once, I try to keep a  running list of all my fab ideas in my "edit posts" page on my blog.  I give each one a title and then jot down a little blurb that will jog my memory.  Like "Kids"--How they teach me more than I teach them!--
 When I can't think of something to write I peruse my old thoughts and try to find a topic that fits with my mood of the day.  Well as I was searching through my notes, I came upon one entitled "Awesome".  I figured I must have had something really great to say.  So I opened it up with anticipation.....there was a blank screen.  Whatever I was thinking of was so awesome that I couldn't even put it into words!

Have a great weekend! :)
