As a new OTP author, I'm delighted to see that so many colleagues are running blogs. They aren't just sitting around writing. They're out there doing something.
Of course, this is party because as writers, we want to write and somehow can't stop ourselves. Even though technology can be frustrating ($&#*#&@*!!!!!), it's also the way of the new world.
But thanks to all of you for being such dedicated role models!
Good Roundup. Writing blogs is part of the job of being a writer--whether we like it or not. I think it's fun.
