Thank you for your feedback!
Rebecca Laffar-Smith shares: Write at WRA: Our Collaborative Blogging Project

I’ll have to direct some posts in the near future specifically to my writing process. I’ve never really thought about HOW I write, I just do it. I don’t like to think it is ‘talent’ because I’ve worked hard to learn all those little details that matter. Writing is a craft, all you need is a passion to share, a love of language, and the desire to learn. You have all of these and already provide amazing entries on your own blog.

In fact, I’m learning so much from your blog too. It is fantastic that we can both learn from each other. Instead of a one sided Mentor/Protege relationship we’re a Mentor/Protege/Mentor/Protege. *chuckles* Does that make sense? We learn new things from each other.

Thank you for your friendship!

The style of writing you have used in this post, and the one on the waterfall of ideas, amazes me. You have that story teller knack, which makes each word come alive….. that doesn’t come easy to a lot of us.

When I think of why I started blogging, it wasn’t necessarily that I liked to write, it was because I wanted to share, and help others…through writing/blogging. Now that I have been blogging for almost a year, I’m analyzing what I publish, a little bit more, and am beginning to look at my writing “style”.

I don’t want to be “just another blog” that says blah, blah, blah. My goal is to get my readers involved, become smarter consumers, ask more questions, and leave my pages, with a little more knowledge.

I’ll be spending more time in your cyber home, trying to learn more about the actual writing process.

Thanks again for making me feel so welcome.

Rejoice in the gloomy days too, Michele. The rain rebirths the world, restores life to plants that get too much sun in the summer months. The balance of the seasonal cycle is vital to the health and vitality of our world. I actually love the rain and cloud far more than the damaging sun but it is important to remember how important they both are to the ecosystem of our fragile Earth.

There are stories in everything that happen around us, every single moment. If we could capture 1/millionth of these stories on the page and publish 1% of those we’d die rich and happy. Don’t forget to look with a writer’s eye and a writer’s heart or you’ll miss the opportunies that are everywhere.

Ah, brilliant! I loved reading every word of this post, Rebecca. You’re such a breath of fresh air, so inspiring.

Thanks so much for sharing your traditions, thoughts, and brilliant mind with us!

Happy Australia Day!

*glances out the window and takes note of the gloomy day… sigh…*

Enjoy the sunshine!

Smiles,
Michele
