Negative Feedback

blogsbloggingLeave a Comment

I guess I should take it as a positive, that someone decided to leave a negative comment. After all, that means that I evoked a response, that someone visited and read who thinks differently from me–and feels strongly enough about it that they were willing to call me on it. I shouldn’t let it bother…

I’m up early this morning and don’t have my writing materials, so I’ll just take this opportunity to record a few little random tidbits of life, which are more for the benefit of family records/history than what I usually post. Random tidbit #1: Julianna We receive our services through Missouri First Steps, which is a…

Reflections from a Jack-of-all Trades

Do you ever wonder how different your life might have turned out if you had made one decision differently? I do. I chose my college based on what was familiar, what was near to home…what was safe. My music teachers often warned me what pursuing a performance career meant: a total commitment to putting…

Through my obsessive compulsion to read through my blog stats, I discovered that someone visited me from http://bugbear.wordpress.com/. Naturally, I had to go check it out. I’m glad I did. You should, too.

One of the things that happens when you start a blog is that you get obsessive about watching your blog stats. And whatever other information the counter gives you. For instance, I can see when people click to my blog from somewhere else, and I know which posts get the most “hits.” I also know…

A week or so ago, when I did my tour of blogs, I came across one to add to my blogroll. Ann Voskamp keeps a blog called “A Holy Experience,” and one of her projects is the 1000 gifts. Read her post here: http://aholyexperience.com/2006/11/gift-list-thousand-things.html This is where my list begins. And in…

Blogging and publicity–again

So I read an article in my Family Foundations today, talking about making money from home, and how one woman’s blog has become a good source of income from ads. It’s been a while since I obsessed about how to publicize this website & blog. I guess it’s time. They say you need links…

Taking on Titles

When I started this blog, I wasn’t sure where it was going to go—or who was going to read it. (I know people are reading it, because I watch the stats, but I’d love to hear more from you all!) It is a writer’s blog…sort of…and a parent’s blog…sort of…but mostly, I realized, it’s an…
