Reorganized stuff into folders by how much I enjoy reading them so I can keep track of the important ones and skip some of the others if I am too busy.<br /><br />It is very noisy out there. I think we create our own silence when we write for ourselves. <br /><br />I loved this post.Kelly Sauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138861838948184728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235467623093506583.post-32327478266550763922010-11-13T22:50:29.251-05:002010-11-13T22:50:29.251-05:00You have such marvelous perspective.

I decided long ago that if I ever felt pulled to play the "blogging game" if you will, the focus on numbers, the only commenting to get more comments, the constant networking/following time consuming nonsense that can suck the life right out of you, I would quit all together. I'm glad I've been able to maintain balance because I really like blogging too. <br /><br />The writing is most important to me. Sometimes it's all I can muster - the simple words on my blog - but as long as those words are flowing, I know I won't dry up. And when the time and season is right, I will write something else extraordinary. Or I will try, at least.Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739365854048008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235467623093506583.post-5857430229156812892010-11-13T17:54:08.946-05:002010-11-13T17:54:08.946-05:00PS Your post made me think of this quote: "I&...PS Your post made me think of this quote: "I've written because, at the time, I had to.

I'm sure you've noticed by now that sometimes I'm posting every other day...and sometimes I completely disappear. My blogging philosophy is pretty similar to yours. I write when I need to; when I have something to say; and when something is *given* to me to say.<br /><br />I find that the most fulfilling entertainment for me is creation -- writing, thinking, painting, teaching. Everything else, including reading, is secondary. But reading so often sparks in me a desire to express...through writing, painting, teaching...that I also read voraciously. <br /><br />Your little spot here is consistently rewarding. I come. I read. I ponder. I comment. and I am grateful.charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703356045366140496noreply@blogger.com
