Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
I've been thinking about changing the blog lately. Not a bunch. But, I think that's part of what's kept me away lately - the monotony. Albeit a small part. Summer is always crazy around here with all the stuff we try to squeeze in in such a short time. But, anyway, back to changes.
There are hundreds of writing blogs out there - terrific advice to be found (and hopefully put to practice). I think I'm going to post a little more random than all on-topic writing stuff. I always feel a little weird about offering writing advice. Sometimes because it's an overdone topic, others because it's not necessarily my place. I'm learning and growing along with [most] everyone else around these parts, yanno?
So, I guess around here you'll see personal mixed with writing mixed with music mixed with whatever my crazy mind decides it's going to spew. Oh, and I'd love to help fellow authors in anyway I can. Publishing has always been heavily reliant on author platform, but I think now that's more important than ever. If anyone out there has a book release they'd like me link on my sidebar, or even a contest/blogfest on their blog, just drop me an email (see profile), or comment about it in a post and leave your email. I'm also happy to host a guest blogger or do an interview. Just speak up - I'm here, even when it sometimes seems like I'm not. ;-)
A happy note - fixed the computer without having to format. On a whim, I tried one last ditch effort to delete the virus and it worked. I'm always proud of myself when I figure out tech stuff. ;-)
I sure hope all my fellow east coasters made it out of the hurricane unscathed. We had some heavy wind, one quick rain. Drizzle really. (Which is a shame since we are desperate for some water.) But, all in all, no real weather issues from Irene.
Always been a fan of David Bowie.

Yeah, the hurricane wasn't what I expected, not that I expected anything but a little rain might have been nice.
I know what you mean. That's why my blog has the following description:
"Welcome to the Shade and Zan Marie's view of the little and not so little wonders in life--writing, family, love, nature, pets, and music."
Though I'll admit it's been more writing than anything else lately. ; )
Other than that, though, we're fine.
Re your blog: I love a good mix! :)

Zan Marie - You have a great blog. It's so pretty. :-)
Linda - What a bummer about the vacay!
SD - Thanks. I was excited - I meant it had been almost a year off and on!
Alex - I may not always have time to comment - but I never miss your posts! Saw that Insecure...Group and was debating. I'll give you a link on my sidebar. :-)
Sarah - Me, too. That's why I always enjoy your blog.
I like change, too. A mix is good :)
I love that Bowie song. :) Summers are busy for me, too.
I try to write some posts for sci-fi heads.
Clarissa - Thank you!
Carol -Good to be back. :-)
Mary - I'm glad, too, though rain sure would have felt good on my veggie plants!
Lisa- Definitely true! And, I have learned from some great people/authors, for sure.
I gave you a Shout-Out today! :)
Dude, I'm very impressed with your techie skills! No way could I do it. NO. WAY.
Love you,
Lola
I can totally relate to how you feel. I love reading blogs that offer a mixture of topics, not just writing related tips.
Congrats on fixing your computer. Cause to celebrate!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Great to meet you.
How generous are you? i'm a fellow campaigner and very impressed. You are definitly going on my list of bloggers to write down and visit again!
I'm a fellow campaigner. I'm actually in the first romance group but plan to follow everyone in the second group as well.
Congrats on fixing your computer...want to come work on my desk top? Anyway, nice to meet you and I'm looking forward to connecting during the campaign :)
I know, I have a lot to offer, but my blog tends to be a lot more random than that. Hopefully the next couple of months on the campaign will help me solidify what I want to write about and make it fun. Good to met you!
Edge of Your Seat Romance
By the way, I'm just finding you because we're in the same Campaign group. Looking forward to following up with you.
I'm happy to hear you're going with a mixed blog; I am too. Looking forward it.
The kids have shared their cold and my internet has been out all day. But, I plan to be back to blogging and commenting on Monday.
I love meeting all the Campaigners. I plan to make my rounds over the next couple weeks to meet some more. :-)
I see where you are coming from. What I recommend for bloggers is when blogs are made fresh and exciting to the bloggers, so it will be for their readers;) Pleasure to meet you;)
