I plan on doing a post on blogging on my new blog and yours may be one I link to. BTW to highlight the power of Twitter, here's how I found you. Saw an interesting link from Chris Brogan on Twitter, went and replied to the post (about "Bob"), read other replies , liked what you said, clicked your name found your blog, was entranced you also use a Theme by Chris P and interested to read your blogging post! I started my latest blog in September. I still run my first blog, but it's a different kind of blog more of a personal topic...it gets tons of traffic and discussion - and I can tell you it takes time, patience and dedication and love of blogging. I've been blogging for about 3 years. I don't carry any ads on either of my sites... and I haven't monetized them either because I'm not that interested in blogging for money I blog because I enjoy it. Anyway, thanks for the chance to comment. Hang in there! It can and will happen for you. Well, I am bookmarking your blog.

I am glad whenever I see people being real. It is refreshing to see someone writing to express themselves rather than to capture an audience that can then be monetized. And along the way, you'll likely gain a loyal audience. I have read your blog... you keep it real and that makes it interesting! Bill, Thanks for your comments and encouragement. I am getting quite a big head! Kristin, Thanks for the comment. I am glad whenever I see people being real.

You write very naturally, gracefully. I would not have suspected that your blog is so young. You write very naturally, gracefully.

Your second point about focus and building readership is something I especially go back and forth about. I sort of have an anti-brand brand--not being neatly packaged and categorized is at the heart of what I'm about, but it definitely has its drawbacks. I've heard people refer to the difference between "sit back" and "sit forward" reading. Basically, I'm trying to do "sit back" writing on a "sit forward" media. It might not work, in the end, but at least I'm learning a lot in the process and getting lots of writing done. That seems worth it--do you agree?
