I believe, too, there's a number of people who read but don't always comment - I do that sometimes. For me, it's more about building relationships than just "networking."<br /><br />Madeline @ <a href="http://MadelineMora-Summonte.com/" rel="nofollow">The Shellshank Redemption</a>Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-57586472812691652472014-05-16T15:36:07.103-04:002014-05-16T15:36:07.103-04:00Thanks, Madeline.

I think it's because I've found my audience, my people, and I know most of them can usually relate to what I'm saying. Even if they can't relate, they're always supportive and encouraging. I do try very hard, though, to not cross over the TMI (too much information) line, and I stay away from controversy. There's enough of that out there.<br /><br />Madeline @ <a href="http://MadelineMora-Summonte.com/" rel="nofollow">The Shellshank Redemption</a>Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-86547061219328433902014-05-15T18:28:55.511-04:002014-05-15T18:28:55.511-04:00Karen, you're right that an anecdote can help ...Karen, you're right that an anecdote can help illustrate a point. & thanks for the good wishes.Elizabeth Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207536110886973913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-61153150540656011832014-05-15T18:27:39.099-04:002014-05-15T18:27:39.099-04:00Thanks, Cordia.

I actually notice when I am ready for an anecdote or example when I'm reading! Hope your healing goes well! :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372668429461124704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873889619654138974.post-25631674903973089162014-05-15T15:16:59.339-04:002014-05-15T15:16:59.339-04:00You've been in my thoughts, fingers crossed th...You've been in my thoughts, fingers crossed that the surgery went well. Yay! And drumroll, Congratulations on a year of blogging! <br /><br />Empress' New Clothing syndrome -- everyone who lets others read what we write. I can tell you a book's worth about my crit partners. Equally scary, the road runs both ways. You don't have to yammer on about how you whatever. It's in the work. With as much as we reveal inadvertently, why get all up in other's faces? <br /><br />When I see a Twitter stream of nananaha's, I do not follow. Which is why my "new's" comes from John Stewart, LOL. Mainstream media, serious whatever. <br /><br />Authentic is a rare quality. Which you have. Why mess with success, ?<br /><br /><br /><br />Morgynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789636407148182196noreply@blogger.com
