Did You Update Your Blog Today?

[Dawno]

I did :D

I'm one of those posters who posts irregularly. Sometimes I'll post everyday and then I might go a week (or, oops!, more) before I think of something to say.

Next time you update - why not come to this thread and let us know?

[David Gonzalez]

I have :D

I try to write daily, mostly anything that comes up to my mind :)

[Dawno]

w00t!! Thanks David - I left you a comment, too.

[bsolah]

I updated yesterday and Friday night. My nano concession post, as well as a review of Will Elliot's debut novel, 'The Pilo Family Circus.' I'm especially keen to get people to check out the review, not because I'm someone with witty insights, but because the book is so goddamn original, and hasn't got nearly enough credit and exposure that it deserves.

[Dawno]

Thanks for posting here - I'm just about ready for bed - I'll peek in at your blog and leave a comment before slumber.

[Poetic Pen]

I posted today as well - although it's rare as I usually don't post on the weekends at all.

November really threw me off.

Victoria

[bsolah]

Thanks Dawno for the comment. I'm going to check out people's posts when I can, and then even comment when I can.

I must say, I've fallen out of the habit of commenting, and even reading other people's blogs, let alone posting to my own.

[sthrnwriter]

I posted on one of my blogs today. I try to post on them both regularly but I tend to get a bit lazy at times.

[Dawno]

Thanks Poetic Pen and sthrnwriter!

OK, how about the rest of you bloggers? Did you update recently?

[TeddyG]

I actually update all 5 blogs every day...:D
but three of them I really concentrate on as they get the most hits so far...
It is a way to write when I am just not in the mood to "write" if ya know what I mean...

[Dawno]

Teddy - you hit the nail on the head when you gave your website the title "Writing Mania" :) Thanks for sharing your update!

[veinglory]

I'm on a new push to post dayly in my main blog--thanks for the reminder!

[kbax]

I did, mainly because the material just presented itself. I won a book--again--from the great American book giveaway site (http://www.bkgiveaway.com/). I strongly suspect that no one else is entering, because I NEVER win anything.

I try to post daily, and have been getting better at it. Heck, I posted three times on Friday! Ahh...procrastination at its best.

[JulieB]

I generaly post M-F.

[Thomma Lyn]

I posted today -- yesterday we added a new kitty to our fuzzy family, so I've been gabbing about that. :D

[Dawno]

Wow! Thanks everyone for updating! I have lots to read tonight. And I should update, too, huh? :D

[Alan Yee]

I post *very* irregularly. Haven't been in much of a mood to compose something for it, and besides, a lot of times I forget my blog is even there.

But, since I do have an unnaturally obsessive loathing of literary scammers, I should probably update with the big, exciting, awesome, delightful news about dear old Martha's sentencing (http://www.accrispin.blogspot.com/). When I read it on the Writer Beware blog, I was celebrating and in a much better mood than I have been lately.

I now have a topic for at least one post. But all the others... meh.

[David Gonzalez]

another update in blog :)

Also trying to keep up since I already have like 7 blogs to read not to mention all the news article syndicated in my google personalized page :(

[wyntermoon]

I try to update my recipe blogs everyday but the family and ghost blogs are more irregular. I need to get back on the bloggin' horse!

Ghosts - http://weeghosties.blogspot.com
Daily slow cooker recipes - http://dailyslowcookerrecipes.blogspot.com
Bath and Body Recipes - http://bathandbodyrecipes.blogspot.com
Family :) - http://wyntermoon.blogspot.com

[Dawno]

Great to hear about all the updating - thanks for letting us know!

[bsolah]

Guess I just need to face facts. I'm a night person. Some are owls, some are larks. I come alive after dark.

I'm the same. Pity my lifestyle is compatible with this. I have to wake early and go to bed early. Which doesn't really work, because I can't sleep so early, so I never get enough sleep. I do however, get really good bits and pieces for stories that I can't use because work sucks up too much time in the day.

[aka eraser]

I updated mine. I've been blogging a little more lately since I'm no longer "columnizing" weekly.

[Simran]

I just updated one of my blogs - http://everythingindian.blogspot.com/

[TemlynWriting]

I'm trying to update at least once a week now, and actually made 2 posts on Friday! LOL!

http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog

I enjoy the community that blogging creates, and miss it when I don't update.

[Kate Thornton]

I updated today - every couple of days I post writing advice & tips and Three Beautiful Things (inspired by Clare of Tunbridge Wells)

Today's rant is about Evil Editor!

[WestofMars]

I'm a Thursday Thirteener, so I've got that to keep up with (but enjoyably so).

I did also just update today, as it's Green Hair Week at my blog and I'm letting the story unfold throughout the week.

[Zonk]

Updated mine today.

After the holidays I'll get back to posting once a week ;)

:D:D:D

[Dawno]

This is fabulous! Thanks, everyone for posting. What do you think, can we make it a habit to come by and let the rest of us know we've posted? I'm not going to sticky the thread - it'll sink if nobody uses it - but I think it's a good way to keep people remembering to visit your blogs.

Oh, btw -- If you visit COMMENT!! Even if just to say "thanks for updating, I enjoy your blog"

[JulieB]

Just another quick update today, I'm afraid.

Actually, that's good news. I'm deep into a project. Ker-ching.

[David Gonzalez]

Updated, 2 entries for today, time to watch tv D:

[Talia]

I posted 2x today! I have my new blog format sorted so I'm eager to go!
Actually 1 post is an old article I was deleting from somewhere else so I added it to my library. The other is a "news" item

Kate - nice pix :) now i have to go see what you wrote about EE.

[TeddyG]

Dawno! you mean after posting to 5 blogs I should come here with weary fingers every day and say "Updated"! Oh Vey! Dawno...you are killing me!

[TeddyG]

This post at Cobwebs Of The Mind (http://teddygross.blogspot.com/) is for you guys at AW.

Valid Moments For That Naughty F*** Word To Escape From Your Virgin Lips (http://teddygross.blogspot.com/2006/12/valid-moments-for-that-naughty-f-word.html)

[sthrnwriter]

Both of my blogs have been updated today.

[Dawno]

Thanks for letting us know, everyone. Aww, Teddy, you don't *have* to come and let us know, but thank you for lifting your weary fingers that one extra time :)

[JAlpha]

I updated my blog today, but I really wish I had had better news to report regarding the progress I'm making on efforts to find an agent for my novel :cry:

[Nakhlasmoke]

Do Live Journals count? I've been trying to update on a more or less daily basis. My life is somewhat boring though.

[Rashenbo]

Well... I post just about every day, and sometimes I post a few times in a day :) I think I'll slow down my posting frequency in January. In november I was in the post a day challenge and in December I'm in the holidailies.

[Thomma Lyn]

I updated my blog today. Though I miss a day here and there, I do try to post most days.

[Talia]

I'm obsessed now!!! I keep thinking of so many ideas of things I want to post that I have to force myself to go do real work LOL.

Mind you sometimes I start a post and find I need to research to complete it so then it goes into my "ideas" file which as you guess is ginormous.

I did 3 posts today. I've never done that before so I will have to go outside now and sit in the sun and tie my hands behind my back ;)

[bsolah]

Posted a rant tonight about Australia's premier racist lunatic, Pauline Hanson. Should attract some attention.

[Dawno]

JAlpha - I hope you get that agent soon!

Nakhlasmoke - yes, Live Journals count!

Just let us know, Rashenbo, when you post - we'll all understand the holiday schedule :)

Thanks Pellegrina Leoni -any number of posts is good

TaliaMana on a roll!

bsolah - hope you get lots of attention (I'm going to have to read to figure out who Pauline Hanson is!)

[Kate Thornton]

New stuff is up today about writing on deadline...

[DTKelly]

I did update mine today. Not much, but still. ;)

[sthrnwriter]

I updated Southern Expressions. Plus, I have an entry posted today on the Write Stuff blog.

[JAlpha]

I updated today. I had a bit of good news, and it felt good to have someplace to go and shout it out. My neighbors don't like it when I yell from my rooftop :D

[WestofMars]

We begin to resolve the dilemma of Mitchell Voss, the ultra-sexy frontman of the fictional band ShapeShifter and his accidentally green hair...

It's been a blast writing this all week!

[bsolah]

I posted and it's very special and important.

A guy named Oscar, as part of my 'Ask an author (http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?page_id=174)' feature, asked “I am a young aspiring author, and I find myself instinctively writing in the first person. Is this detrimental in any way, and are there any drawbacks to writing in this form?”

It's an interesting question and one that I've dealt with myself. Here's my answer (http://www.benjaminsolah.com/blog/?p=349). I closed the comments for this one and diverted the discussion to my forum to see how that works out.

[DTKelly]

I did.. but I cheated and just posted some YouTube finds.

[David Gonzalez]

Updates, updates and updates!

Have been away for a few days, there are a lot of posts, now this new one, more about myself if anyone interested :D.

Link of blog in my signature. Enjoy!

[elizajane202]

I updated http://www.entertainusnews.blogspot.com and http://www.homemom3.blogspot.com
It's been a busy week for me. :)

[Talia]

Yep! I did a post of my own plus a guest post...

[TemlynWriting]

Wow, I'm on a roll. Made a few entertaining posts this week, and will have my "5 things people don't know about me" meme up later today. :)

[David Gonzalez]

I updated my blog, now asking for a good cookie recipe, since I want to try doing that for once

[Talia]

David if you don't find a good cookie recipe let me know I can dig out one for you

there are also some good ones on about.com if you go there and search for cookies

[C.bronco]

I finally did (update).

Cookie recipes on www.bhg.com

[David Gonzalez]

thanks I_shrugged

@ taliamania, sure I guess it depends on how detailed each recipe is XD

c.bronco, I take a look now :)

[DTKelly]

updated.

[scarletpeaches]

My latest blog entry is more of a 'placeholder' to remind people I'm still alive (just). Hardly written anything recently as I've had so many migraines I can barely see straight.

So I'll say goodnight here, as looking at a PC screen won't help! A good night's sleep should help (I hope)!

[Dawno]

Wow! You folk are on a roll! Thanks for letting us know you've posted something new.

[Zonk]

Updated.

Title: I See, Therefore I Write.


:D:D:D

[Talia]

Thanks for the encouragement Dawno!!!

I posted again today on treating Eating Disorders (http://taliamana.blogspot.com/2006/12/treatment-of-eating-disorders.html). Only a short post so might do another later today...

I'm also looking for guest posts (non fiction)
Check the thread here (http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48936)

[Talia]

@ taliamania, sure I guess it depends on how detailed each recipe is XD
:)

it's a very simple recipe from the edmonds cookbook. i'll hunt it out after the sun goes down - need to get back out and enjoy this nice weather

[Nakhlasmoke]

Updated, although i still haven't broken the good news. i'm just letting it sink in first.

[jamiehall]

Yep, updated it with stuff about a werewolf report being on the news.

[September skies]

I had been away for a couple of weeks -- though I had posted a story that ran in local newspapers.

Today, finally posted on my blog. I got to thinking of all that happened this past year and I decided to post on that. :snoopy:

[mdin]

The top 10 most ridiculous baby products (http://shiveredsky.blogspot.com/2006/12/top-10-most-ridiculous-products-for.html).

[bsolah]

I posted a review of Brett McBean's The Mother last night and used a new wordpress plug-in I found - star ratings.

[David Gonzalez]

Blog updated once again :D

Two new entries :)

[Kate Thornton]

The top 10 most ridiculous baby products (http://shiveredsky.blogspot.com/2006/12/top-10-most-ridiculous-products-for.html).
These are beyond weird - go there now people and check them out!

[Talia]

Wadda ya mean weird. I HAD one of those contraptions when I was a babe!!!!!!

[DTKelly]

I posted.

[Talia]

My post reviewing a book on sugar is up!
http://taliamana.blogspot.com/2006/12/sugar-solution-author-links-depression.html

[Thomma Lyn]

I posted about the commonly used term "wannabe writer" and how I feel about it. :)

[scarletpeaches]

I posted...I talk about today's disappointments and whinge about depression. So you might want to make sure you're high as a kite before reading, to balance it out.

Don't listen to anything like Linkin Park while reading. Now don't say I didn't warn you. :D

[David Gonzalez]

This "eccentric person (me)" has posted, last post of the day :)

Enjoy and night!

[bsolah]

I posted twice tonight; one political and one writing post. I still plan to post my response to David's (the poster above me) 'ask an author' question on Sunday.

[DTKelly]

I posted today, but be warned it's a rant and contains some bad language.

www.dtkelly.net

[Dawno]

You guys are great. I haven't updated in ages. *sigh* Thanks for keeping us informed!

[JennaGlatzer]

Posted about the attacks on louisgodwin's horses... would be great if we could get more attention for this story (particularly once we determine who to write to).

http://jennaglatzer.blogspot.com/

[Read or Die]

I did. I had a confirmation to a rumor (which I really didn't need) and linked to an interesting article about the Wii. I also blogged a bit about my frustration with my Super Mario Advance game (shut up!) j/k.

[TemlynWriting]

Just updated with an overdue meme of little-known facts about me (http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog/?p=59)! Also check out Blitzen on a Bun (http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog/?p=64).

The blog has a new look, too-- finally a template I absolutely love!

http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog

:snoopy:

[David Gonzalez]

updated, a chicken broke my back, hope you like it, i'm still in pain :(

[JulieB]

I'm hosting Feline Friday today. So if you like cats...

[Dawno]

This is great - don't forget to READ the updated blogs, too. And if there's something you can link to and get some attention for (like Jenna's topic) or if you'll comment (in sympathy, for example, with David's predicament)that's all for the better.

[Dawno]

Julie, I just tried to leave a comment and I got quite a page full of error message! something about the target machine actively refused my connection :(

[David Gonzalez]

welcome back dawno!, thanks for the comment, hopefully tomorrow I'll be fine :)

[JulieB]

Dawno, Looks like the SMTP server at the hosting service is down. Drat. I'll have to see if I can fix the code...

Update: You can leave comments now. I just don't get e-mail notification. Hopefully they'll have the SMTP server fixed soon.

[spacejock2]

I posted on Happy Toast (http://halspacejock.blogspot.com/2006/12/toast-part-2.html) in the past few days. I've not posted anything after that because I don't want to bump it ;-)

[Scarlett_156]

Blogs = pffffft. sort of

[David Gonzalez]

Last entry in blog, temporally quitting blogging and concentrating more in grammar and so on.

I'll try to comment on other blogs though :)

[dancingandflying]

Just updated it with a post on a disgusting news flash. Check it out. (http://thefeministheartbeat.blogspot.com) It's the first blog I've actually done more than three posts on, and I started it yesterday!

"You're nothing but a pack of cards!"
Alice.

[jdkiggins]

I did update today, in fact. However, I have a few questions. When I'm using IE, I can see my recent update. When I'm logged into FireFox, it shows only up to my September 25 post of my review of a book. Why is that, and are others here who are using IE and FireFox seeing what I'm seeing? Or in this case, not seeing what should be there if using FireFox?

[Lyra Jean]

Me! Me! I updated my blog today. I didn't just copy the back of the book like in the other posts either. I have linkies too.

Happy reading.

[dancingandflying]

Mwah ha ha. Just updated it (http://thefeministheartbeat.blogspot.com) again. Five times in two days!

"It might have been a dreadfully ugly child, but it makes a handsome pig, I think."
Alice.

[Dawno]

I see it just fine in FireFox. Maybe you need to clear the URL history/cache? I had trouble with Miss Snark's blog once where I couldn't see recent posts - kept going back to an old one. I think I cleared the cache then and all was well.

[jdkiggins]

Thanks, Dawno. I’ll give that a try. I never thought of clearing the cache. Of course, I only use FireFox to post on my blog. Appreciate the help.

ETA: Thank you. It worked! ((HUGS))

[Dawno]

NVNC ID VIDES, NVNC NE VIDES, my blog, has been updated with Gay Zombi Penguins. :D

[Suirattigas]

Yes. I updated my blog this morning. I'm hoping to do it daily to get back to writing almost every day.
Comments are not only welcome, I'm willing to beg as needed.

[JAlpha]

Just returned from a ski vacation with my family, and I find that whenever I take a break from writing, the sooner I get my fingers back on the keyboard, the sooner I can start being productive again.

So I started my day by updating my blog, and tonight I'm going to try and capture the thrill of sking in Steamboat Springs, CO in a poem.

I hadn't been sking in over 18 years. And even then, the only place I've ever skied is in Wisconsin--not quite the same thing on the thrill scale :D

[Suirattigas]

I updated today. I'm fully prepared to update tomorrow.

[dancingandflying]

Just did. Check it out. (http://thefeministheartbeat.blogspot.com)

"Curiouser and curiouser!"
Alice.

[bsolah]

Comments are not only welcome, I'm willing to beg as needed.

I'll go one step further. Anyone who comments on my blog will receive a recipricol comment, and I usually respond to comments if there's something to reply to. I used to do this, but I got lazy. It's how I got many of my regular readers.

[wyntermoon]

Updated my ghost blog with four new stories today!

[Suirattigas]

Updated my blog. It'll probably offend someone.

[Thomma Lyn]

...I usually respond to comments if there's something to reply to... It's how I got many of my regular readers.

Me too, and me too. Comment trails to many of my posts are a lot of fun these days! :D

And yes, I updated my blog today.

[Bayou Bill]

Yep. I've upped, date-wise.

Posted a 900-word short story called "The Other Bowl Game" that is supposed to be funny.

Bayou Bill :cool:

[kohuether]

I updated! What a great idea for a thread. http://writingcareer.blogspot.com

[sthrnwriter]

Both of my blogs have been updated.

[Dawno]

Great work, folks and thank you for posting here to let us know there are new things to read.

[bsolah]

Just posted; probably the last post of the year, unless I come up with something on the weekend. But this is my obligatory Christmas/End of Year post. It might ruffle some feathers, but my blog needs it ;)

[Gooch]

I updated last night, working on a new one today!

So if you're bored and are interested in brainless movies, I give you DOA: Dead or Alive (http://www.cinemafromage.com/?p=339)!

[Suirattigas]

Updated. Relatively inoffensive.

[JulieB]

I wrote about how to get decent pictures from a point-and-shoot digital camera, and about a new addition to my site.

[DTKelly]

I updated mine with a best of SGEP, 2006!

[Thomma Lyn]

I updated mine -- participating in the Carl Sagan Memorial Blog-a-thon (http://joelschlosberg.blogspot.com/2006/11/announcing-carl-sagan-memorial-blog.html).

[Suirattigas]

Yes, I updated. Turkey with beer and other Solstice fun.

[Talia]

I updated mine with a best of SGEP, 2006!

now that's a clever idea!!!

although I have only been posting 5 months so maybe it won't work. Certainly worth thinking about.

I'm going to do a post on happiness with links to quizzes and books on the subject. just haven't finished it

i've officially put myself "on holiday" as a mental state as well as physically so the post got started but then oops on holiday I went.

Which leads me to my question...
Who will be posting regularly over Xmas and who will be taking a break? I can't post date my posts so I will probably take a break for a few days...

[truelyana]

Ive just created one in my friends forum, it was a thank you for keeping up with us. hehe.

[bsolah]

Well, as I said in my last post, I'm on holidays between the 26th and the 2nd; I'm camping and will only have a small notebook with me.

[Talia]

I've done one quick post, and I still have my happiness post that I haven't finished. Then I'll take a break...

[oswann]

I updated mine with a best of SGEP, 2006!

I stole this idea and put a European touch to it.

Os.

[Suirattigas]

Updated.

Comment on my blog and I'll follow you anywhere.
(Nods to Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In)

[Talia]

Updated.

(Nods to Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In)

I visited Suirattigas a few days ago and got a return visit!!! I didn't know that would happen, so it was a lovely surprise. Don't worry I'll be back to visit again

I had a burst of enthusiasm and did 2 posts today. However I still have a post on happiness that I have to finish and post. I am finding I am getting quicker at it. It used to take ages by the time I fiddled around adding links and pictures and getting the formatting right. Now I can spit them out in a few minutes.

[Suirattigas]

Posted a pic today. It's not much, but it's from a print photo and I had to figure out how to do it first.

[MadScientistMatt]

Usually my updates are just bits of progress on the Dodge Dart. This latest update is a bit bigger, though. There's a couple of guys out in the automotive world that I believe are selling items that don't work and rip off unwary consumers, and I'm starting a campaign to have them brought to justice. My latest post covers what you can do to help. (http://madscientistmatt.blogspot.com/2006/12/open-letter-to-federal-trade.html)

[Thomma Lyn]

I updated today. I recently read Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates (a novel based on Marilyn Monroe's life), and I reviewed it on my blog.

[WestofMars]

I updated today (Tuesday) -- Trevor had something to say, and most women with sense don't deny Trevor Wolff.

I'll be updating tomorrow, too, as I like to get my Thursday Thirteen up a bit early.

[Suirattigas]

Posted my recipes for banana pudding pie and chocolate Schnapps sauce.
The pie is crustless and is suitable for celiacs.

[Vanatru]

I just posted one about when we were providing overwatch for some Canadians and an afghanie kid gets stuck on top of a van.

http://vanatru.livejournal.com/87003.html

-Bill

[Spice Islands]

I can't post! In fact I can't even open blogs at the moment, something to do with the earthquake off taiwan...

[Gooch]

I posted a review today for a classic! Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (http://www.cinemafromage.com/?p=346)!

[oswann]

I posted one of my "Ten Things You Didn't Know About..." mini interviews about someone you may have heard of...

Os.

[ShapeSphere]

Yes I did. Went to Kirishima National Park (http://antonypeyton.blogspot.com/) in southern Japan. Never get much chance to write for money, blog or post here. But I can still read quickly.

[MidnightMuse]

I got off my butt and posted a Happy New Year grump.

Maybe I shouldn't post when I'm grumpy. I should wait until I'm sneezie or sleepie.

[Thomma Lyn]

Yup, I posted twice: I was tagged for a fun meme, and my other post is a recap of my writing accomplishments, setbacks and realizations in 2006.

[Alan Yee]

I finally updated my blog after several weeks. I hadn't been in the mood for a while. But today I did a thorough update, with a list of what I got for Christmas, what's been going on, and *gasp* actual stuff about my own writing (which I used to never post about).

This year I'm going to try harder to update more often, preferably at least one on the weekend and one during the week (but only if I have time and aren't really busy).

And this time I did a special "note to self" saying that I should stop worrying about what other people will think if I talk about this topic or that topic, and just do whatever I feel like talking about. It feels a lot better this way. Besides, I am capable of talking about things other than scammers. :D

[Suirattigas]

I posted about my reporting days when I felt more like a fraud than a writer.

[WestofMars]

I did a year-end retrospective of the good stuff I read in 2006, since I doubt I'll finish another book between now and Monday. Lots of ideas if you're looking for some -- I try to plug the stuff most people may not have heard of.

[DTKelly]

I updated last night.. I had another conversation with a random IMer. ;)

[Jessi]

Ugh, that really sucks, Scarlet. :cry:

[scarletpeaches]

Oh well, I know who did it and I expected better of them as it was the person who helped me set up the guestbook. We had a falling out over something petty a few weeks back.

I'm a member of a website run by someone her boyfriend doesn't like...it's all so stupid, stupid, stupid. I haven't checked my guestbook in ages, so only just noticed it. I expected better of her. Still, what can you do? I think such actions say a lot more about her than they do about the quality of my blog and its guestbook.

I'll sort it out tomorrow, then start inviting people to sign it. The blog hasn't been affected, though, so that's something to smile about. :)

[MMcC]

Isn't it ridiculous how people act when they have a modem to cower behind?

[scarletpeaches]

She hasn't killed my blog. It'll take a little mending, but it's more or less okay. I'm going to try to stick to updating about three times a week in the New Year, so wish me luck.

I'm still reading other blogs from AW and enjoying them all.

[MMcC]

I don't update Maureen's blog as much as my own. My dog actually updated his today. I'm hoping to get to the others.

MMcC: http://maureenmccarrie.blogspot.com
Me: http://christineolinger.blogspot.com
My dog: http://maxwellthepug.blogspot.com *updated... he's much more diligent

[Talia]

cute signature Maureen :)

I updated today - The 10 biggest mistakes people make with New Year's Resolutions

[bsolah]

I plan to post my first post for 2007 after dinner.

[mdin]

I posted pictures of my work.

[Suirattigas]

I listed the ten things I'll make an effort at doing in 2007.

[bsolah]

I posted about my plans for writing in 2007

[wyntermoon]

I posted something silly about returning (or not) gifts today in my family blog; created a name under my own name for writing though I'm not sure what I can put in there that hasn't found a home in the other three blogs, lol.

Family: http://wyntermoon.blogspot.com
Ghosts: http://weeghosties.blogspot.com
Newbie blog: http://staceygraham.blogspot.com

[MMcC]

1/1/07 I posted on my own blog and my pen name's blog. The dog took the day off.

[Lyra Jean]

I posted a movie about Mars. I have a really awesome post about the different names for Mars coming soon. If I can only find the definitions.

[LindaF]

My co-author posted a really nice entry about how writers can succeed by just showing up, and she managed to tie it all in with vitamins and fitness:

http://www.therenegadewriter.com

Happy new year!

[aka eraser]

I've just finished my usual solemn, informative, scholarly year-end wrap-up including, of course, the Top 5 Songs of the year and a brief (or briefless HAHAHAHA!) mention of Britney's naughty bits.

[Talia]

Its been a while!, http://allenmai.blogspot.com/2007/01/happy-new-year.html

*waves hand at everyone*

[lorcan]

Greetings!

I've had my blog for about a year, but circumstances kept me from posting very often. For the new year and my new writing project, I deleted my old blog and began a new one, this one devoted mostly to my WIP and all the slings and arrows I encounter while slogging through it.

Ack, that's not true. I LOVE my WIP; it just doesn't always love me back.

I admire those of you who have more than one blog. It's one of my resolutions for 2007 to not only maintain the present one, but also to set up and maintain two more (one about the GEICO cavemen and another about a 'zine I'm trying to get off the ground). Considering that I write full-time, you'd think I'd be able to fulfill this, but lesser men (and women) have been felled by fewer obstacles.

Today, I blogged about the same thing everyone else did: my writing goals for the new year. Oh, and about the worst DVD I'd seen in a very long time.

Cheers,
MRA

[Thomma Lyn]

I updated today -- I posted about magic as a story element in novels.

[Gooch]

I managed to keep up all through the holidays! Amazed even myself!

Here's todays: Planet of the Vampires (http://www.cinemafromage.com/?p=354)!

[Dawno]

Thanks everyone, for keeping us updated. Don't forget to stop by AWers blogs and comment.

[Suirattigas]

Updated. Wrote about why hypnosis and daydreaming should not be considered the same thing. Subject galls me no end.

[Jessi]

I've posted a couple times today and will likely do so again (I've been away for a bit)....including a short piece on Pink's Stupid Girls and its relation to the epidemic of eating disorders.

[Gooch]

After boasting about keeping up through the holidays, I'm now slipping! 4 movies behind! Hopefully I'll get one up later, but my real job keeps getting in the way :(

Yeah, life seems to be really good at getting in the way of blogging.

[JenNipps]

Geez, I'm slacking big about keeping up with different boards here. lol. The blog I update most is Creatif (http://jensorganizedwriter.wordpress.com), though I do have a personal blog (http://jennipps.livejournal.com) that I add to regularly. That last one has a lot of work rants, though.

[Gooch]

Phew, that was nerve wracking. Came in to post that I knocked out 1 of 4 on the reviews (http://www.cinemafromage.com/?p=355), went to my blog to grab the link, and realized my site was down!

Back now though! Got all the foot work done on the other 3, all that's left is to write!

[Inkwell]

New blog, new year.

Today I wrote a long post on differences of taste and what it means to have a really different point of view. Tomorrow's topic - Irony.

[TemlynWriting]

Updated with a few entries, including one on Writers Remember's (http://www.writersremember.com/forum) journey through Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way.

Happy New Year!

[bsolah]

A few days I posted a call out for horror flash fiction on my Tastes of the Darkness blog - http://tastesofthedarkness.wordpress.com

[JAlpha]

I updated my blog today with some very sad news about the recent death of a very gifted award winning YA writer. Throughout the years that I had known her via our participation in the same crit group, she made a huge impact on my writing goals and the quality of my craft.

[DTKelly]

www.dtkelly.net

Another episode with the Kamikaze Squirrels.

[Thomma Lyn]

I updated my blog with a description of a revision method I use for my novels. I call it "Search and Destroy."

[Talia]

I updated with a review on the book "I can make you thin"

[Gooch]

Updated my own blog today with some news blurbs, as well as posted my first movie review for blogcritics.org (http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/01/06/101245.php)!

[Talia]

and another update. this time linking to an article that talks about the links between stress and eating.

[bsolah]

Will get to updating on my short story progress today, after I clean up after last night's party. Which is hard, as I have a really bad hangover.

[Jessi]

Yep, I've updated several times in the few days, and plan to keep up at this rate for a little bit because I have so many things I want to talk about....and just didn't have time to over the holidays.

I've got a new post on what 200 calories looks like, how medicines have evolved (joke), and a short bit on what spider webs look like when their food has been drugged...

[TemlynWriting]

Updated again (http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog/) with some interesting links for the New Year.

Also, I'm trying to update every day or so, because I'm aiming to have my blog be full of information for writers.

[Jessi]

And now an update concerning the failed crash tests (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com/2007/01/for-all-mommy-bloggers-out-there-car.html) on child car seats....

[Greasy Spoon]

I liked your "Search and Destroy" post Pellegrina Leoni. I think I'll be borrowing your list for my pending novel edit, if'n you don't mind. :)

I just updated about the flood of creative projects currently jostling for dominance of my time, and before that a very silly post about less-than-photogenic goats. Photos included!

[Vanatru]

I put in a post last night. Just some mumblings.

-Bill

[Suirattigas]

Updated about the giant grasshopper photo I once ran when the boss was away. It has since graced the front of two different tabloid papers.

[Jessi]

Updated about the giant grasshopper photo I once ran when the boss was away. It has since graced the front of two different tabloid papers.

Haha. That made me giggle.

[emsuniverse]

I posted today! All about outlining. Woohoo! (Link in my sig!)

[David Gonzalez]

http://allenmai.blogspot.com/2007/01/fight-o.html

new update!

and err http://allenmai.blogspot.com/2007/01/do-you-value-your-work.html

[Jessi]

I wrote a piece and quoted some articles about the recent death of Momofuku Ando (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com/2007/01/momofuku-ando-lives-on.html)....and for those who don't know who he as, as most of us don't recognize him by name, he was the inventor of the precious 'ramen noodles'.

[Suirattigas]

Updated about my latest rejection.

[Toothpaste]

So I'm new to this forum about blogging, but I have decided to take my blogging a bit more seriously and thought I should join (Suirattigas, I enjoyed your latest entry by the way!)

Today I blogged on my decision to create a much more rigid schedule with my life. Not the most exciting of entries, but I wanted to write it down so that I would maybe stick to it.

[Suirattigas]

Thanks, Toothpaste. You too, Jessi. Glad I made you giggle.
Update blog by apologizing to it for ignoring it so much lately. Said I'd do better.

[euphrosene]

yes - I try to add a daily entry as it is supposed to a 'spiritual journey'. Helps to have a rant from time to time (okay, most days!)

[Suirattigas]

I put up a moderately adequate photo of a redpoll at our livingroom feeder.
Bit blurry because it's too big.

[Jessi]

I made a quick post (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com/2007/01/random-searchers.html) about a search that came up in my stats, called "youtube, Dear Carbs"....and I went and found the video they were likely looking for, lol.

[bsolah]

I updated today with my long awaited post regarding the progress of my short story. Already received a few comments.

I'll post some really big news for me on my blog in a little while.

[Kate Thornton]

Yes - today's writing stuff is about characters who come back to haunt you - guess yesterday's post was too grisly!

[TemlynWriting]

Posted a funny bunch of publishing definitions-- check it out!

http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog

Have a super weekend! :)

[Suirattigas]

Posted a brief look at why one would check out possible past life connections.

[Toothpaste]

Hey all! I have made my blog super pretty thanks to the help and advice from the good people from this forum. I also posted about this very thing today. Please check it out, I am so darned proud of what I accomplished knowing so little (though I know in this company it will still look really old fashioned) -

www.ididntchoosethis.blogspot.com

Thanks again everyone!

[David Gonzalez]

the link somehow didn't fix its supposed to be "weekend update" :( anyway

http://allenmai.blogspot.com/2007/01/weekly-update-1.html

nothing much has happened =/

And sorry TaliaMana I haven't had the time to ask my grandma for the recipe :(

[bsolah]

Posted a very special blog post about buying a certain something I've been wanting for an uber long time.

[Jessi]

Yep, a short blurb about "Operation Fake Wallet." Fun, fun.

[wyntermoon]

Updated the two cookbooks, added to the family blog and am still staring at my ghost blog and the new "writers" blog that I haven't started yet. Ugh.

Daily Slow Cooker Recipes (http://dailyslowcookerrecipes.blogspot.com)
500 Bath and Body Recipes (http://bathandbodyrecipes.blogspot.com)
A View from the Shoe (http://wyntermoon.blogspot.com)

[David Gonzalez]

http://allenmai.blogspot.com/2007/01/first-graphic-novels-and-now-visual.html

and Draft: Echoes of a Saint's Heart http://allenmai.blogspot.com/2007/01/draft-echoes-of-saints-heart.html

[JulieB]

Blogging about the weather. Good thing I'm stocked up on food and warm beverages.

[Suirattigas]

Wrote about abundance and the need to list what you've got.

[Vanatru]

Nothing exciting. Just mentioned the weather, coffee, and kids playing.

[Kate Thornton]

My Writing Stuff today in honor of MLK is about the power writers have to change the world.

[Toothpaste]

I wrote an entry today about why agents deserve their 15%. I just get so sick of answering it over and over on forums. Anyway, hope you like it!

[MMcC]

I wrote a piece about knowing one's limitations, using my husband as an example. (Personal blog, not my Maureen McCarrie blog.)

[Thomma Lyn]

I wrote a post inspired by a Zadie Smith article, about the novel-writing process.

[Vanessa]

I didn't post much, but I did update today. I've been pretty good with keeping it stocked. :D

[Talia]

grrrr I would love to update my blog but I'm still blocked by blogger

apparently they've tagged a whole heap of legit blogs as spam blogs and locked us all out. I can't post to my blog. crazy ;)

[Dawno]

Thank you, everyone for coming back and updating us on your updates. I hope it helps bring visitors and lots of comments!

[Gooch]

I updated today with a scary tale that could frighten many.

My experience at the midnight release (http://www.cinemafromage.com/?p=374) for the new World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade.

[Suirattigas]

Posted about enjoying now as it's the only moment we've got.

[Toothpaste]

Wrote a brief post about going to round two of my edits, sigh.

[Talia]

YES YES YES!

At last my blog is unblocked and I can post.
3 posts today:
- an emotional eating blog carnival
- a quick link on skinny fashion models
- part 1 of an article about antidepressants

[Dawno]

yay Talia! And great job, all you folk - keep on postin'!

[Greasy Spoon]

Congrats, Talia!

I just had one of those horrible moments where I spent far too long on a post, then I published and it seemed to be just gone.

Finally I realized it was because it was a story I started writing out earlier and saved as a draft in blogger, but when I went back to it tonight I didn't change the date, so it published back in my archives.

Easily fixed, but man was I freaking out there for a minute!

So yeah, update today on a memorable day working on a film set, and the day-job situation that reminded me of it today.

[Thomma Lyn]

YES YES YES!

At last my blog is unblocked and I can post.
3 posts today:
- an emotional eating blog carnival
- a quick link on skinny fashion models
- part 1 of an article about antidepressants

WOO HOO!! So glad to hear it, Talia! :snoopy:

Edited to add: I updated my blog today -- posted about the relevance of honesty to the writing of fiction.

[Toothpaste]

Mazel Tov!

[Talia]

Thanks Pellegrina

I am a blogging machine ROFL. I have now done part 2 of my post on depression and meds, as well as a short link on depression and exercise

Heck, why write a book when I can spend many happy hours (well it's only minutes, but still) writing all these blog entries. This is FUN!

[Talia]

p.s. for those of you who like getting (and giving) comments I will be starting a new comment chain soon. We're nearly finished our current blog chain and will be kicking off another one in a week or so

[Suirattigas]

Updated about finding the God-essence in others especially when annoyed.

[TemlynWriting]

Updated about needing interviews (http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog/?p=80) with people who are doing what they love, or hope/plan to do so.

http://www.temlynwriting.com/blog

:)

[Toothpaste]

Hey all! Updated about starting the process of creating a writing website and how I suck at visual art!

[JulieB]

Updated about a lot of stuff today: Technical issues, photo posting frustration, and that darned weather.

I just finished creating an RSS comments feed from scratch. No, that was NOT fun.

[Thomma Lyn]

Updated with a post about thirteen women writers who rock my world. :D

[Toothpaste]

And today updated on the pressure to be funny in my writing.

[Rekd]

I updated my "pro" blog (http://undermyhelmet.com)today with another 3 or 4 days of posts. (I love the "post on" feature in MT :D )

I haven't updated my personal blog (http://rekd.frihost.net)since I made the new years resoltion post about resolving to post on that blog once a week. :Shrug:

[Thomma Lyn]

I updated today -- wrote a post about Passive Protagonists in novels, specifically an overly-passive protagonist in the second novel I wrote, which I'm soon gonna rip from seam-to-seam and revise.

[Gooch]

Today I posted trying to save everybody $10 by avoiding the new Hitcher remake (http://www.cinemafromage.com/?p=380)

[wyntermoon]

I posted a new ghost story about Ft. Monroe, VA in Wee Ghosties and did some blog graphic maintenance. :D

[LightShadow]

I have a dozen or so blogs, write in two of them daily, two of them every other day, one every third day, and the rest of them about twice a week. And somehow I find time to work on my books. Sleep is fleeting.

[Gooch]

Wooooo I made a post tonight about going to the father daughter prom http://www.cinemafromage.com/?p=381 and revealed my deep dark secret....that I'm a girl scout troop leader!

[MMcC]

I wrote about my first genuine FAINTING experience. I've lost consciousness before, but always in a controlled medical environment. Never just ... you know SWOONED before.

Scarlet O'Hara really oversold that garbage.

Read On Here (http://christineolinger.blogspot.com)

[Suirattigas]

Wrote about the common belief that we're asleep when we're hypnotized.

Hey MMcC, I lost consciousness and hit the floor the other night. I was going to blog about it, but I can't think straight yet. I don't have a rescue Pug, though.

[Simran]

Updated it yesterday. Does that count? http://writing-from-within.blogspot.com/

[Toothpaste]

Hey all! Updated with a post about words and their meanings and how people seem to misuse the same words over and over - specifically "Arrogance" and "Opinionated". Also wrote a cute poem at the end. Well I think it's cute.

[Dixie]

I know Im an idiot for doing this but....

for now my blog is on myspace. (EEEKK run for your lives!)

I dont know if I'll go to blogger or livejournal - but it does fine for its purposes, plus I also get to 'network' all in the same spot.

Today my entry was on pet peeves. Who knows what tomorrow's will be. Alot of times I just think of stuff on the spot and just hope I dont ramble off into too many directions.

[Simran]

I updated this blog today though - http://simrans-navin-kundra-fansite.blogspot.com/

[bsolah]

I've been blogging a fair bit compared to my latest tirade of a post once a week and it's had an effect on my comments. I'll be posting more soon.

[Suirattigas]

Wrote about knocking my noggin last week and the alternate therapies I used to get over it.

[aka eraser]

I updated today too (about Battlestar Galactica) AND installed a new counter. At least I think I did.

Won't know for sure until someone visits....

What? Hint? Me? Nuh-uh. Not a chance. I installed it (I think) 10 minutes ago. Someone will be along. Anytime now. No rush.

[Toothpaste]

Well I visited! Let me know if it works. Unfortunately I couldn't read your post as I haven't seen any Battlestar yet and I am planning on renting the DVD's soon and I didn't want any spoliers.

I updated a small entry about getting my edits, and quoted a fun farside joke. Oh come on you know you want to see which one!

[aka eraser]

Thanks for the visit Toothpaste but unfortunately (but not entirely unexpectedly) no visits show. At least couple of other folks I know of were there too but nothing registered. I guess I installed the counter improperly. Will go fiddle around in my template's innards.

Noseplugs and mask! Stat!

[aka eraser]

Okay. It's working now. You can all stop visiting. Nothing to see there. Go on home to your families.

:)

[huntwriter]

I just wanted to post on my blog but nothing. Maybe blogger has a headache again. When I wanted to post an "error" message came up. Tried five times and nothing happened. The last message read "forbidden". What is this? Russia!:rant:

[Dixie]

I posted about all the strange animals we have in our house. Not to worry though they are nicely preserved. :D

[JulieB]

Too tired to post this last night, but I posted several picture entries, including the Round Robin Photo Challenge. And related the saga of a seemingly simple tire repair that wasn't.
