Angela: I’m thrilled to have met you as well. I sent a link to my wife. Both of us look forward to digging in to the site later. It seems right up our alley.

Hi Writer Dad!
What an exciting opportunity for you be be guest posting on Copybloggers site-very nice! I look forward to checking out the post!

I am so thrilled to have found your blog and your wonderful community of readers and commenters. One of the biggest frustrations for me as a new blogger ( just had my 1 year Blogversary!) is getting readers to engage with comments. I read and comment on many kinds of blogs,and I have noticed an unfortunate trend in the edu-blogger world. Many teachers are new to blogs, and not sure how to engage. (I am working on that with them!)
Your site is an inspiration!

Apathy Lounge: I don’t reread books as often as I should. However, a few books that I’ve read more than once: Soldier of the Great War, East of Eden (three times), and the Hobbit (the first book big book I ever read). I’m starting Stephen King’s, On Writing, for the second time. I read it last year and thought it was outstanding.

Malathionman: Yes! But I only beat the ending by about five minutes. I still did better with the Usual Suspects than I did with the Sixth Sense, though.

One book that you read over and over again. Sometimes for additional insight and others…for comfort and familiarity. Do you have such a book and–if so–what would it be?

Weekly Roundup: Blogs I Comment On…

Shel Israel recently wrote about lurkers, listeners, and the amplification factor among bloggers and their readers, suggesting that the term “lurker” for someone who reads blogs but doesn’t comment or……

Kyddryn: My talons are leaving the branch.

Amy: Ward, huh? I like that name. I saw you on the interview post when you asked Mary if she found out my name. I thought that was funny.

Dr. Cason: You’re welcome. I’ll check in with you and ask you how it’s going. Bit by bit. Don’t be in a hurry, but treat it like a friendship that needs to stay alive.

I used to ask everyone- how did you know you were/are a writer?

And I thought I couldn’t say THAT.

Doctor yes. Writer no. My grammar and punctuation is off – I’m sure. I like to start with “And” a lot and end with a preposition.

Then I started reading people who wrote like they spoke and it was fine. Just. Fine. Delightful even. And then I realized that no one says you’re a writer until you say it first.

I love your writing, Writer Dad, and I’m working on a book as well. I’m stuck in the beginning phase. Thanks for the push to keep it going.

That’s very cool. I read your post there and loved it, and now I know it was yours. :-)

Also very cool to learn you have a name. In my head I call you Ward (Leave it to Beaver’s dad). I’m not sure why. I’m freaky like that.

I’m cross-posting the comment, because I’m just like that.

Good onya, sugar, for listening to the call. It’s so easy for “I can’t” or “I’m not” to drown it out.

It will be grand watching you spread your wings and soar.
