It's obvious there's a storyteller inside you who needed to come out.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-63255969050717271942007-11-05T22:20:00.000-06:002007-11-05T22:20:00.000-06:00Velvet, It was SO wonderful to meet you in person....Velvet, It was SO wonderful to meet you in person. You have no idea about the inspiration you provide. I have another friend who started because she was first into your blog and then mine. <BR/><BR/>I just wanted to get back into my writing. I had stopped going to my writer's group when I had to go back to school as part of my rehab from surgery. <BR/><BR/>Glad to be back home but meeting you was a highlight!CreekHiker / HollysFollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987597104795294851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-66743391054586090692007-11-02T22:33:00.000-05:002007-11-02T22:33:00.000-05:00Duly Inspired -- or, I should probably say, Duly I...Duly Inspired -- or, I should probably say, Duly Inspirer -- it would be great to see you again. I never imagined when I met you the last time that we'd get to know each other so well -- and in my wildest dreams it wouldn't have occurred to me that we'd get acquainted on the Internet.<BR/><BR/>Janet, I'd only heard the word "blog" once before I read Alison's. It didn't take me long to see the possibilities, but it took almost a full year of reading other blogs before I got up the courage to start one of my own. I really enjoy yours and didn't realize until now that yours isn't open to the public. I feel lucky to be among your readers.<BR/><BR/>Betty, welcome! I read your blog regularly and am glad your son talked you into it. Like you, judging from your comment, I value having a place where I can write about whatever I want to, when I want to, and regardless of the mood I'm in. Sometimes self-discipline stifles my creativity.<BR/><BR/>Marion, I admire people who have developed a habit of writing. I've always loved words but never had much patience for the work entailed in writing what would likely only be read by me.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-15893274536834966702007-11-02T18:23:00.000-05:002007-11-02T18:23:00.000-05:00I work things out as I write.

I have other places where I write, but I think blogging is my favourite.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-49957504743111508182007-11-01T22:51:00.000-05:002007-11-01T22:51:00.000-05:00My son talked me into writing a blog.

It's a great outlet for someone who likes to write, but doesn't have the self-discipline for writing books or short stories.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309266986583326824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-61467601095248671252007-11-01T21:44:00.000-05:002007-11-01T21:44:00.000-05:00I can't really recall, but I think that I looked u...I can't really recall, but I think that I looked up "blogs" on Google, having heard so much about them. I thought blogs were something similar to MySpace, which I didn't want (and still don't want) to get involved in. I read a few blogs and thought it might be a fun way to let the world know I exist. Although, I don't have my blog open to the public-people who visit my blog come from other blogs that link me. I'm glad I started it-I've met a lot of great people through my blog and by visiting other blogs! <BR/><BR/>It's wonderful that you met Holly! I'm looking forward to her posting again when she gets home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-21513063665934883322007-11-01T21:36:00.000-05:002007-11-01T21:36:00.000-05:00Isn't it wonderful to be part of the chain?

And really I was tired of journaling on paper at night when all the day's events were already filtered, and I was tired. Thanks for sharing this meeting with Creekhiker. I look forward to coming through Louisiana and having, not our meeting, but our reunion. BlessDuly Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667265361131163774noreply@blogger.com
