While I follow a few professional blogs I have to admit I prefer the non-professional blogs.<br /><br />I love hearing about the lives and writing processes of other struggling writers, it makes me feel less alone. <br /><br />What annoys me? Blogs of professional writers that turn into "Oh, look at how wonderful I am." They share nothing of themselves or their writing process, they just pat themselves on the back because they're published.C R Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212244053084461118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-19383005226457460172009-12-23T05:07:14.440+00:002009-12-23T05:07:14.440+00:00Great post!

I do peruse (yeah I said peruse...LOL) the professional blogs sometimes, but the ones I love are the same ones you do.<br /><br />They have stuff about writing, but they talk about themselves, maybe add in something here and there about something else they care about. It's such a cool thing to see into other writer's/people's journey. Not one will be the same, and so each time, I learn something new :o) <br /><br />And... I've met some amazing people that I know will be there through the ups and downs of this career choice - that is invaluable!erica m. chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773306703153110737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-4599483620511899222009-12-23T00:49:14.584+00:002009-12-23T00:49:14.584+00:00Excellent post - and I heartily agree!

It feels like we're all one big community of writers, that way. I heart the Internet. lolTraci Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708393153242672277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-76416797595473741142009-12-22T20:13:19.003+00:002009-12-22T20:13:19.003+00:00Adam, totally agree.

With the freedom of Internet there are plenty of people who are determined to announce most minute details of that life. Since I have never been a fan of Big Brother, I am not interested in reading that sort of thing either. <br /><br />Jenna, Yes being oneself is the key. After all, as writers, finding our own unique voice is our essential goal so that should apply to blogging.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-12724500761675249032009-12-22T19:37:32.387+00:002009-12-22T19:37:32.387+00:00I love blogs that add something unique and don'...I love blogs that add something unique and don't try to be something they're not. <br /><br />Sometimes I think I sound a little uppity on mine, and I'm working on that...because I totally agree with you. Until we've gotten the publication goal, we honestly have only a very small clue. :)<br /><br />Great post.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670094635770401053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-68345609378397551322009-12-22T18:23:50.840+00:002009-12-22T18:23:50.840+00:00I like people who have something to say (other tha...I like people who have something to say (other than 'notice me'), people who have an interesting voice, people who are funny, people who use detail well, people who tell the truth about their lives.<br /><br />I don't like people who whinge.Brian Keaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754984212153946279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-5587548430726847042009-12-22T16:11:04.909+00:002009-12-22T16:11:04.909+00:00Nice post, LW. :)

While I do read the odd "professional" writing blog, almost all of the blogs I follow are by amateur/new writers like me. I enjoy reading about how they're getting on and drawing comparisons to my own stuff. :)<br /><br />As for what I don't like, I can't stand people who try and force a particular viewpoint, whether that viewpoint is about writing, politics, religion or sponge cakes. You preach, I'm gone.<br /><br /><br />AdamAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041390205721204791noreply@blogger.com
