I used to do that a lot more when I first started using Blogger, take leads from what other poeple displayed links to. I'd like to find some new treasures (not distractions, honest) that's why I thought I'd ask what other people would recommend. And, you, thank you for reading this one. I'm pretty happy that I've had a really good experience of keeping a blog, I don't think I expected I'd keep it up. And I've had plenty of good fortune from it. <br /><br />Miles - ha, that's funny you say you're competitive - only last night I was slagging you and your word count off. With love. Yes - there's something about talking about your creative ideas that can take the urgency out of them. Hard to not sound poncey when someone asks about one and you're all vague. Poncey or inept. Poncey AND inept.<br /><br />Love.Teresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-42231781161949178122011-01-03T15:13:16.148+00:002011-01-03T15:13:16.148+00:00Great news Tree, you stick at it and you'll ha...Great news Tree, you stick at it and you'll have a novel before you know it. <br /><br />I know you've read some of mine but I'm going to stop talking about it for a bit as I feel it thins the experience. Also I've had great feedback on Chapter 1 from you and several others and that's enough impetus to know I'm on the right lines. Now I know I am, and the best thing for me is to keep it secret, keep it safe, keep it pure so that it's undiluted.<br /><br />I can't recall which writer said this but he said talking about your novel while you're writing it is like cheating on your lover. I get that.<br /><br />Having said that, I'll always be keen to hear about updates and how you're getting on because it always inspires me to get on with my work. Probably because I'm so competitive.<br /><br />Hugs xxx (and kisses, those were kisses)<br /><br />I'll check out Kendal's blog, I haven't yet.<br /><br />MMileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012298610514390814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-16439893799686899452011-01-02T23:34:14.457+00:002011-01-02T23:34:14.457+00:00Unless it's writing....Unless it's writing....Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-11682996873454680852011-01-02T23:33:55.723+00:002011-01-02T23:33:55.723+00:00There are blogs I read by writers I admire or aspi...There are blogs I read by writers I admire or aspire to be as successful as etc, such as Rainbow Notebook, Vanessa Gebbie's or Sara Crowley's, Women Rule Writer, Tania Hershman's etc and then there are blogs that I read because they make me smile, blogs like Steven's Golden Fish or Golden West (all on my side bar). I like to nosey on blogs of people who are just getting on with the stuff of living. And your blog is my must read! <br /><br />I'm not a daily blogger though, more cyclical; ebb and flow like the tides. The thing about routines is they can all too often feel like work and that's just no fun!Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.com
