Stories Is More Than Connecting With Readers – It’s a Blog Writer’s Bread and Butter
Lately I noticed I am talking to myself, a lot.
Yeah my goal has been to be the best writer I can possibly be, for a long time. It’s a challenge that’s become personal and I can’t put it down. I don’t want to put it down, either. I dream about being the best I can be.
I think about writing, every minute of the day. I wake up thinking it. Go to sleep thinking about it. In public I’m thinking about it. I forget to eat sometimes because I am thinking about it eating gets in the way.
I didn’t notice this until one day I notice it. I talk to myself an awful lot.
Yeah, of course in public I talk softly. But still, my lips are moving. I am a little embarrassed, even more shocked, and a little worried people might start staring. I mean, isn’t this just one step short from having guys in white coats from the asylum chasing you down the street screaming? Isn’t it?
However If I am going crazy I’m having fun getting there. My writing seems to be improving a lot and I love it. And yet, again, maybe I have taken good advice, “Read what you write out loud’, a inch too close to the edge of sanity.
Or, still, could it be I am just becoming the writer that I dreamt of becoming? Maybe that day has arrived? And I’m just not ready to admit it, or even able to accept it? I don’t know.
I just hope I’m not knocking on the door to the Mental Hospital.
Who knows? But, can I ask you just one question? Would scream “Crazy Person”, pointing a finger at me? Or would you say…”Dam funny story!’

This is the 5th one of your blogs in the last hour...got to do something else, but you are hard to put down...great stuff...keep talking to yourself. One of you is an excellent writer! :)
lol...lately I started riding a bicycle...at night...so people can't see me talking to myself...lol anymore.
Hey, I am glad you enjoyed my other posts too. Thanks for checking it out and your comments.

I always enjoy your writing. I will also never forget how you took an hour of your time to write an excellent post to welcome a new person to Wealthy Affiliate when I asked if you would. Amazing! :)
I go back and look at the post frequently. It is an inspiration to me. Your passion just shines through and that motivates me too.
When I talk to myself, I always justify that it is "ok", just so long as I don't start answering myself. So, I would NOT be pointing at you.
LOL.. I love it! What you are saying, I love it. Great Reply.
To me, leaving a Great Comment, about what another Blogger's passion is a great way to get them to notice you. To get on their radar. To start building a relationship with them.
And maybe even get them curious about me. So they'll want to check out your site.
And if your writing is strong, and they like something your writing, maybe they'll share it with their very massive audience.
Start a Conversation. It's a Great Marketing Strategy."
Hey Karyskis...ha ha ha ..glad you liked it. Hang on a sec, my other self wants to say hi.
"Hi Kary. How have you been?
It's when you answer yourself the stories get truly engaging. :) Sounds like you're on the "write" path. Enjoy.

LOL, it's when you start answering back; now THAT's when you should start worrying!
lol, I am worried! Extremely worried,,,in that case.
I can't be the only one who actually talk and answer myself, can I?
Come on, admit it. You must have done it more than just a few times in your life. Right?
I am so worried!
NOPE, you're in a league on your own right now ... I am starting to go into rooms & forgetting why I'm there though :-( Argh, swop!!! I'd rather answer myself so I remember why I was there so I'm NOT wasting precious minutes scratching my head!
