		<description>I don&#039;t think the sort of writing one does on a blog is enough like fiction writing to really interfere and I&#039;m sure letter writing isn&#039;t. Of course, just from the point of time, if you spend so much time blogging that the day&#039;s over before you get to your fiction, then that would be a problem. Um...I don&#039;t have that problem, obviously.

One thing I&#039;ve been trying to do during the past year is to learn to ignore all the babble about publishing. It kills my writing just to think about it. And, after all, I am not a publisher. I am a writer. So that&#039;s been a project for me to concentrate simply on the writing.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s one of those &quot;Please stop being on my side&quot; moments.  :/  I understand the anger from people who&#039;ve been abused and oppressed and treated like crap, but anger needs to be aimed properly to accomplish anything positive.  [sigh]

		<description>I&#039;m trying to do the same thing, Heather. And failing. I don&#039;t understand it, because I have so much more time than I used to.

I agree. Blogging feeds me, too.</description>

		<description>Really? I don&#039;t visit her blog anymore. I&#039;m totally into supporting marriage equality, I&#039;d do nearly anything to see that happen in the next four years. She sat there and said if you can&#039;t support marriage equality, then she couldn&#039;t be friends with you. Fine. And then she totally BASHED THE HELL OUT OF my own sexuality, and I was outta there.

I was bummed about it, too, because I&#039;d liked her quite a bit, really. Just seemed to me that someone wanting respect and understanding for their sexual preferences would want to respect and understand other sexual preferences. Guess not.</description>

		<description>My blog reading and writing has suffered since I went back to work. I deleted all blog links on my blog this weekend, not on purpose, so I&#039;m only relinking to the few I really want/have time to read. 

Trying to clear my head and begin blogging on a semi-regular basis. As a writer, I need that outlet. If it keeps others from producing pages, they should do what they see fit. But connecting/communicating with my writer peeps is what feeds me.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sick of it too, but then I get dragged in AGAIN, as I just did on Nicola Griffith&#039;s blog.

My husband mentioned to me while reading an interview I was doing that I needed to consider my words carefully. Sometimes it&#039;s safer to have no opinion, or at least no public opinion. I suppose that means I&#039;ve moved well and good into the public sphere.  I think I was anyway, but it made me consider my opinions more carefully, and the expressing of them!  I too love semi colons and colons. Ahh. Basking indeed.</description>

		<description>I just can&#039;t imagine. I&#039;m LUCKY if, in a conversation, I get ONE complete sentence with verb and everything. I&#039;m lucky if I speak one GOOD sentence in a week. I don&#039;t know what I&#039;d do!

I admire you, for sure!</description>

		<description>There is a certain mindset that comes to writing with voice. When you write with your voice, it forces you to relearn the basics all over again.

Can be somewhat annoying at times, but what am I gonna do?</description>

		<description>Yes, that one, too! I mean, I really don&#039;t get it. Let people make their own choices. It&#039;s THEIR life! That&#039;s another pet peeve of mine, lately: it seems we&#039;re constantly judging others.

I feel like our race has immatured to Kindergarten.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s so true about writers and letters and journals!  I never thought of it that way!  I&#039;d say you just effectively squashed that argument.

I, too, am sick of the opinions about self publishing, not self publishing, etc.  How many times can a person read the same thing?  I just can&#039;t participate in that, anymore.  I&#039;ll watch the field morph, and write for fun.  I&#039;d sure love if my movie was made, but I&#039;m not quitting my day job any time soon.</description>
