Blogging

I enjoy blogging--which is a good thing during a week like this. This is my third blog, on different sites, in four days!

I’m delighted to say that I was a guest blogger on Mysteries and Margaritas on Monday. I was interviewed there about how I started writing and what it’s like now--lots of fun talking about myself. If you’d like to learn more, here’s the link: http://mysteriesandmargaritasblogspot.com Scroll down to Monday, October 4, for my entry--and read some interesting posts along the way, while you’re at it.

This week also included my day to blog on A Slice of Orange, the blog for the Orange County Chapter of Romance Writers of America. I’m scheduled to blog there on the sixth of every month. What did I blog about? Book titles, which are definitely on my mind since the title for the second in my new Pet Rescue Mystery series was agreed on last week: THE MORE THE TERRIER, an appropriate title for a story about an animal hoarder. The first, BEAGLEMANIA, is about a puppy mill rescue and some of the puppies are, of course, beagles. Once again, here’s the link: http://occsliceoforange.blogspot.com/2010/10/whats-in-name.html

And here I am on Killer Hobbies on a Thursday, blogging about... blogging!

The only problem is that I haven’t really written this week about my main blog topic here or on any of the other sites: pets. My dogs. Anyone else’s kitties or puppies. Or... did I just do that?

I’ve heard that, with other kinds of social networking, blogging is being somewhat left behind. I enjoy both reading and writing blogs, as well as commenting on them.

What’s your opinion? Do you enjoy blogs? Do you like them as much as other stuff like Facebook?

I do both, but blogs are easier to follow a conversation than Facebook.

I'm just learning how to use Facebook, Dru, and I've been blogging for a while. I agree that blogging still seems easier, especially since things seem to fly by on FB.

I agree that things "fly by" on FB. Today I'm going to see the movie The Social Network. Will report!

Janie Emaus said...

I love blogging, too. And soon hope to announce my new blog..stay tuned.

Linda O. Johnston said...

Will look forward to your review, Camille. I'm intrigued by the movie but haven't seen it yet.

A new blog, Janie? You've got my curiosity aroused!

Hi Linda!

I like blogging and FB. Currently, I post my blog once a week, but I'm hoping to bump that up to twice a week sometime next year.

As for FB...I don't really use it so much to put out in the world what I'm doing - but I DO use it to keep track of my friends! That's how I found this blog ;-)

I really enjoy your blog posts, Kathy, so I'll look forward to more whenever you're ready. I'm spending more time on FB than I should, but it is a fun way, as you said, to keep track of friends.
