Over time I’ve done a lot of blog posts, guesting at some sites, creating posts for my own blog. You know, trying to toss out little helps, hints, website links that are fun and helpful for writers and readers. It’s fun and believe it or not it actually adds to my own writing, bolstering it in a way I can’t really explain.
The flip side of writing blogs is reading them. And I follow quite a few. Some make me smile, others are informative, some give me heartburn and others inspire while still others manage a weird combination. I enjoy blogs, squeeze in reading them at lunch with my Kindle online, sometimes late in the evening before bed, sometimes on the move when traveling from one place to another (no, now while I’m actually driving!); on a train, plane (hanging out in an airport actually) or as a passenger.
Why am I telling you all this? Simple, really, I was reading a friend’s blog (a friend I met in cyberspace who’s become quite the blogger) Seumas Gallacher (his blog is over at http://seumasgallacher.com/ and he made the point of how valuable it is for bloggers to share with others which blogs out there are great to read. He even started up a hashtag over on twitter #TBSU for The Blog Scratchers Union as a way of bloggers promoting bloggers who have something real to say. read article
