Is he a regular person I'd have coffee with or a PIA who'd curdle my cream? Does he talk about things I can relate to or is he trying to convince me he's smarter than I am? Does he have a self-deprecating sense of humor or a snobby, overblown ego? You score high in all those areas, so I'll be back. Best regards, my friend.Earl Staggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349667172813175960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-21725438731399549992011-06-10T15:11:58.859-04:002011-06-10T15:11:58.859-04:00There it is again, if you write about what interes...There it is again, if you write about what interests you, you will interest others. <br /><br />Thanks for opening up the question about what to blog, Warren. I second Ellen's comment. Your ability to sneak in an ad for your writing is inspiring. <br /><br />I think if you're nagging yourself about what to write in a blog, it's time to step out of the way and see what comes up and grabs your attention.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-88591160779152137942011-06-10T09:46:43.058-04:002011-06-10T09:46:43.058-04:00Donnell,

I appreciate your participation.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-26106066888731214432011-06-10T08:55:51.872-04:002011-06-10T08:55:51.872-04:00Warren, great blog and great question. The answer...Warren, great blog and great question. The answer, your blog won't appeal to everyone, nor should it. It's the subjectivity of the business. The question is, are you interested in it? If it has an interest to you, and it surrounds something that others can relate to, e.g. your multiple myeloma, writing short stories, something that genuinely intrigues you, chances are it's going to intrigue others.<br /><br />I'm on two blogs now (Lord, help me). It's work. It's time consuming, but sometimes there's things I just want to know. I ask people to blog about it, and when they do, I promote them. Your blog is getting your name out there. I've never met you, but I know your work. If I hadn't become a fan of your blog, I wouldn't have made the connection. Hope this helps.Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-36926933569233856672011-06-10T08:34:17.524-04:002011-06-10T08:34:17.524-04:00Thanks, E.B., I learn from you too.

You asked a good question:What would our readers like to see in this blog?<br /><br />Good feedback is hard to come by, just like critiques and reviews, so I'm dubious that we will get much response, but I will hope. <br /><br />I've learned a lot from you, one lesson is how to cleverly couch plugs within the context of a larger topic. Your boldness inspires.E. B. Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746747050278597888noreply@blogger.com
