10 Things I Learned From Blogging--Writer's Workshop

”Mama’s
1.  Blogging is a time hog!


2.  You can share scary things about yourself and people love you more instead of less.


3.  What you say matters!  Really. 


4.  You nod your head at the screen when reading other people's blogs.  See, you just did it.  And now you are laughing.


5.  Laughing out loud at your computer screen is perfectly normal.


6.  You have to try not to laugh out loud since you don't really want to share what's so funny with the kids.


7.  Comment, respond, and write consistently. 


8.  Visiting new blogs may bring new readers to you.


9.  So does having giveaways.  Hey, who doesn't like free stuff!?


10.  Try to always end your post with a question.

I love the list, but are they supposed to be linked to examples? I clicked on all of them and I got an error message. Is it my computer?

I've read many of these before but I didn't think about ending posts with a question.

Did you?

Perfect list...I would have said addition instead of time hog. What have I learned...that there are some really amazing people out there with wonderful ideas, words, and inspiration to share. I never imagined I would make blog friends...I can kind of see how internet dating works now.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
