I started my own blog to publicise my writing (when I knew very little about blogging) and soon found that it is possible to blog about anything, and there will usually be someone else who also finds it interesting. It's a great way of making on-line friends, and meeting new people. I'm so glad to have found you, and added another fellow author to my list. <br /><br />(And thanks so much for visiting and commenting on my own blog today!)Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081887188939480455.post-82182562408120780722010-05-03T01:26:51.769-04:002010-05-03T01:26:51.769-04:00Blogging definitely is its own genre of conversati...Blogging definitely is its own genre of conversation--and yes, it's very similar to small talk in some ways. I used to be awful at small talk--it's a bit of an art that has to be learned. Thanks for posting!
