Let's try this again.<br /><br />There's days I wish I was one of them big time bloggers, paying off student loans with my awesome words... until wake up for days in a row without one single idea to post, then I'm thankful I don't have a huge following!<br /><br />But you're right, to make it big time you need the right connections, lots of time, a wee bit of drama, and some sort of how-to people are just dying for! <br /><br />And then again, sometimes if you just keep on with the being you, someday you might wake up and find that you've hit it big after all! ;)Emilyhttp://www.coffeeandspellcheck.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-35172265314472900682012-06-21T23:52:04.297-04:002012-06-21T23:52:04.297-04:00I think a lot of it is how one promotes their blog...I think a lot of it is how one promotes their blogs; if they participate in a lot of "follow me" types of memes to build up a following. I follow a lot of blogs and I've seen it all with writing style and I don't think there's anything wrong with your writing style. I always think too that blogging should be about relationships made not just numbers with followers or comments. You'll see sometimes someone will have over 300 followers and then on an average post they might have 10-12 comments. Then you'll see someone who has over 300 followers and on their average post they have 50 comments, but the reason is they read a lot of blogs, comment on a lot and send emails out to people who comment thanking them for commenting, they are building relationship. Its such a fickle world out here in blogging. I don't have a big following, but I have loyal followers and that means more to me than numbers. So write what you want and don't worry about it. Just have fun with it.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-79675377234091909402012-06-21T22:09:19.081-04:002012-06-21T22:09:19.081-04:00OMG....I have wanted to explain this exact style o...OMG....I have wanted to explain this exact style of my writing forever but I thought once I put it out there I was opening myself up to???? But yep I am a writer-as-a-talker too! I try to explain things as I am seeing them swirl in my head of crazy thoughts, that is why I also started using quotes to help me stay more on tract (of what I still do not know) or get me writing. I am not a FB-er so sometimes I will post something that as certain snoopy ya I'm not your friend cuz I write about you on my FB for all to see but you can read a slam on my blog yes I know childish but effective it keeps them from coming back as often lol. My blog isn't going into the BOG Time either but seriously I never expected to have a single follower this has been my journey and I am just happy to have the blog love I do because the few are actually the most SPECIAL I am learning quickly.

I feel like it is a conversation between me and whomever is reading it. I am so not controversial and I try to keep my blog positive. It is mostly because I want people to feel comfortable reading this (like family and friends for instance..)Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.com
