Blog Stalking

So lately I've been reading blogs by writers. My friend Melanie's blog, for example, is great. She has a few links to some other writers' blogs, so I like to check them out. Well, you know what happens. Those ladies have links to other blogs, and the next think I know, I'm surfing around the web and reading all these blogs by people I've never met. And I'm getting some ideas, too.

Like reserving one blog day a week to five random things. Or blogging about a favorite author, an influential book, etc.

So maybe it isn't a complete waste of time to be heading out to the blogs and reading what the write. Heaven knows I need the inspiration. And it's good to branch out because have you ever noticed how bands have a sound? Like you can tell when U2 comes on, even if it is a new song, because their songs have a sound. Not just Bono singing, either. The music itself has similar thematic elements, you know? And writing can be like that. I think authors can become one note writers. I want to do more than that.

And this is one of those whatever posts. Whatever!
