"The conversations are warm and...Hi Jennifer,<br /><br />"The conversations are warm and the atmosphere is cool". I particularly love this sentence because I believe it encloses everything a blog should be about.<br />At the beginning of my fairly new blogging career (I started last October), I became almost obsessed with making my blog visible and "popular", until I realized that THAT is not what blogging is about. At least not for me.<br />I think if we get wrapped up in the popularity contest, we end up losing sight of what's important: and that is, the writing!WritnBlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013860723369165705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-45174353368874330392011-01-06T04:05:00.707-08:002011-01-06T04:05:00.707-08:00Hi Johanna,

It's a place where people are least likely to go because of the way it looks, but once they are there, they remain faithful. So, it's not totally a bad thing.<br /><br />I think Shorty is still pretty obscure, but like any "hole in the wall," only those who appreciate what you offer returns. So, I guess I have one, too. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-2869316756291682072011-01-04T14:26:35.029-08:002011-01-04T14:26:35.029-08:00Alycia,

Usually, they are jazz bars or just bars! :) I'd like to think that my blog is a "whole in wall" blog as well! And who doesn't love a little attention? Or recognition? Or bragging??? I know I for one, love that stuff! So, I while I love the fact that my followers count has increased from 4 to 26 in just the last two months, I'm glad it's still a diamond in the rough as it were.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038918668619367960noreply@blogger.com
