I’ve been nominated for the Encouraging Thunder Blogger Award by Darrell Scanlon of The Pen and the Page.   He’s a wonderful and creative writer.  This is the link to his unusual blog:  https://darrenscanlon.wordpress.com.   Thank you so much!  I am so honored, and thrilled!

Why Do I Blog?

For a lot of reasons.  The first and most pressing is that I LOVE to write.  It is a passion.  I used to journal, and I still do, but blogging seems to be a better venue to work things out, to float an idea, to practice the art of writing.  I love the feedback, I am thrilled to have made a number of friends through blogging.

I started this blog on the advice of a very bright woman who told me if I was serious about publishing a book, I should have a blog and a Facebook page tied to the book.  That was the impetus, and I still intend to finish the book, but the blog has taken on a life of it’s own. It started ot as journal-type blogs, but lately I’ve been into writing poetry, which is a new venture for me.  Until I started my own blog, and reading others, I never considered a poster and a few words a blog, but sometimes, it’s actually perfect for self-expression, and I guess that’s what blogging is all about.
