LOL! <br /><br />Also to answer your questions... oooh I'm generally a very nosy person who gets bored very easily and who prefers the internet medium of networking! I like blogs that are full of warmth and humour and who don't take themselves too seriously and who are active in whatever blog community they join. And I like that bloggers get to be very creative with what they blog about and how they use their blogs. A lot of the bloggers' personality seeps through I think and I like that.<br /><br />Take care and thanks for all your help with the McVeigh Agency.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Take care and I look forward to reading about your experience!<br /><br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-34066785230814565572010-02-25T10:46:12.113-06:002010-02-25T10:46:12.113-06:00funny comments make me click over to their profile...funny comments make me click over to their profile.

It makes me feel better for times I haven't finished mine. I was a bit insane in my blog post a few minutes ago... It helps to know there are other people that have the same problems I do. If you could be quite a bit more insane it would be appreciated. If not, that's okay too. I'll continue reading your blog.<br /><br />Congrats at getting to 100 followers! I'm excited to read what you learned. About your comment on twitter... I'm still working on it too. I don't really like it myself. I'm trying really hard to even remember to post things beyond blog updates. Oh, look, I have something stuck in my teeth... better go twitter it. :PDani Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02122903432509584522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-60190541795720338022010-02-25T00:37:07.145-06:002010-02-25T00:37:07.145-06:00Congrats on hitting 100 followers, Sharon - that&#...Congrats on hitting 100 followers, Sharon - that's awesome!

It makes me feel like part of a community--writing is a lonely job at times. But as much as I love reading what others think about the craft of writing, I love best to read about people's experiences. Truly, I just love stories.<br /><br />By the way, I'm your 100th follower!

To educate myself about the craft of writing and the publishing business. For fun and entertainment. Because I'm curious (aren't all journalists?) and hungry to read everything I can get my hands on that relates to what I'm most passionate about. <br />You're right, Sharon, that you learn a lot about a person from what they post on social networking sites. I am amazed by how much you can learn about a person in 140 characters. This goes for all types of people: agents, editors, writers etc. Sometimes I really don't think people realize how they are coming across. Or maybe it's who they really are and they don't care. Anyway,I've found many virtual friends like you who have encouraged me and cheered me on. I hope I have done the same.Buffy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033283884801658206noreply@blogger.com
