I also participated in something like this before, with 15 different posters. It went very well but it wasn't a blog like this it was a bbs. I eventually had to drop out of it because I was in school at the time and had my net connection turned off due to my getting a D in math for the third consecutive year. Although I aced geometry. My mother apparently couldn't figure out that I was bored at school and even with weighted classes..I knew that information already I wanted somethin' more difficult to do. I still suffer from this problem.<BR/><BR/>It seems the multi-poster blog is more comfortable for people, so let's go with that. I'll drop a URL at some point.<BR/><BR/>Actually I'll just post linkage on my blog when I get somethin' goin'.Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114220019018827843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136556257632326182006-01-06T09:04:00.000-05:002006-01-06T09:04:00.000-05:00boris: ~Deb has written more than one book.

I was thinking of a similar idea when I read prata's suggestion, and I wonder how egos would play on this. I think most of us are the only one's who can write on our blogs. Of all of my regular posters, very few have blogs where two or more people can post.<BR/><BR/>michael: yeah, for most of us, blogging is an escape. But I have read some pretty serious and reflective blogs were it is not an escape at all (one in my mind talks about when she was molested as a child; stuff most of us never had to deal with). But where else can you wish ill of your boss or call your hubbie a SOB and have little retribution (and perhaps a lot of cheering in the background)<BR/><BR/>superspygal: thanks, but my personality shining through is not intentional.

But for the general people in and around 'our circle' of friendly bloggers, I really think that some of it is truly a passion for writing. <BR/><BR/>Writers are artists, no matter how you look at it. You're creating something from within---maybe you went through a traumatic event, and you feel the need to write about it -- for theraputic reasons or not. <BR/><BR/>Now, you have Romey, who writes a lot of fiction---that is entertaining, and people like that I admire as well, because they have such an active imagination. <BR/><BR/>For me? Writing fiction would be VERY new to me. Telling fiction is another story...hehe..... my girlfriend's gonna kill me for saying that. <BR/><BR/>What about starting a community blog where each person writes two paragraphs of the 'same story'---creating a fictional outcome. You have writer #1. Who will of course, write the first two paragraphs, then you have writer #2, and so on. ?? Any thoughts of that? <BR/><BR/>I've always enjoyed your writing Leesa, I have always read it word for word---you really catch your reader's attention...especially under a Christmas tree! ;) <BR/><BR/>Keep writing!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136497879768926372006-01-05T16:51:00.000-05:002006-01-05T16:51:00.000-05:00You are a great writer.

I think you're right on about artists who don't do masterpeices all the time, they doodle on scrap peices of paper, then apply what they've learned from doodling to their masterpeices.

I'll have to ask her about that.Boris Yeltsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340242545006175828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136495348001360932006-01-05T16:09:00.000-05:002006-01-05T16:09:00.000-05:00kathi: thanks, sweetie!joe: yeah, sometimes I don'...kathi: thanks, sweetie!<BR/><BR/>joe: yeah, sometimes I don't know where my posts take me.<BR/><BR/>mike: I sometimes think that "randomness" or "no reason" comes from not knowing what is really going on. But I sort my panties by hue, so perhaps I am off-base here.<BR/><BR/>muse: this blog is a secret, so I only blog at work. Tape recorders sound like they would be the source of incriminating evidence (at home). This is sort of like a diary.<BR/><BR/>dirl next door: thanks, sweetie. Everyone seems to fall in love with the "girl next door."<BR/><BR/>prata: you have probably forgot more about technology than I will ever learn.<BR/><BR/>grant: if I throw stuff out when I spring clean, am I losing weight?<BR/><BR/>shannon: you are so sweet!<BR/><BR/>prata: Interesting idea. I would not want to coordinate it (hint), but I would be game to write in someone else's style. Perhaps all the stories could be posted to the author's site (with all of them posted to Prata's site as well). So if someone wanted to see all of them, they could go to one site.<BR/><BR/>kyuball: come on, let's doodle.Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552562808209927463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136493239447367342006-01-05T15:33:00.000-05:002006-01-05T15:33:00.000-05:00I think we all want to write "something" and that'...I think we all want to write "something" and that's why we blog. I blog to become a better writer, maybe someday I'll actually put something together that is better than three pages of complaining.<BR/><BR/>Prata is definately on to something, kind of like a fiction writing improv session. I don't know if I'd be able to participate, but I like the idea.KyuBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341858902841912764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136492824706888532006-01-05T15:27:00.000-05:002006-01-05T15:27:00.000-05:00You know Leesa...(and others) I was just thinking....You know Leesa...(and others) I was just thinking. We should each coordinate a time, and anyone that enjoys writing fiction of some sort, have a little brainstorm event. Somethin' like, we each challenge each other with a form of writing.<BR/><BR/>What I mean is, each interested individual lay out what they typically write (I am currently writing vampiric fiction) and someone else picks that as their type of short writing to do. Whoever picks that as their category leaves behind the category they normally write about and I am forced to write on that category.<BR/><BR/>I think that might stimulate some of us into branching out a bit and maybe test our writing skills a bit. Sort of like "organized doodling" lol if that makes any sense.<BR/><BR/>Thoughts?Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114220019018827843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136484908645125252006-01-05T13:15:00.000-05:002006-01-05T13:15:00.000-05:00Losing weight is easy.

Note - this is also a good way to end a bad date. The problem with losing weight is preventing it from returning with reinforcements, which it seems to get better at doing as I grow older.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136482739105350762006-01-05T12:38:00.000-05:002006-01-05T12:38:00.000-05:00If you bring it..I'm there.

Like my morning coffee, I've come to need my "shot of Leesa" to start the day off right. <BR/><BR/>I prefer to think of blogging like jazz. For me it's all about improvisation. I have no idea where a story is going when I start writing it and its nice to just go with the flow and see where it winds up.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224897497456150769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1136465872465588822006-01-05T07:57:00.000-05:002006-01-05T07:57:00.000-05:00Everyone blogs for different reasons.

Cheaper than laying on a couch in someone's office, and I've met some truly great people. Plus, reading others situations and their reactions to them challenge and encourage me. <BR/>For whatever reason you do it, I'm so glad that you'll keep doing it. You've gotta know how loved you are on here, it's obvious. Your honesty and humor keeps me checking on you daily...okay, sometimes several times a day. You get the jest of it.<BR/>Love you Leesa, honest.kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998865477080265039noreply@blogger.com
