Only good can come from others getting to know you at that level. Sort of like being invited into the kitchen for coffee versus the big formal party on the lawn.

I suspect blogging is another genre; everyone can do it, but not everyone can do it well.

Like you stated...A very interesting post, Jennifer. Like you stated in your first paragraph, there are so many facets to blogging, as well as reasons why people blog. I think blogs have done so much to level the information playing field. Also, like you pointed out, they allow writers to speak their own truths. The social benefits of blogging are often under-estimated too. Yes, blogging helps in marketing our books,generating income or raising our profiles. But the online personal and lasting connections are priceless.Yasminhttp://www.poetsofthecaribbean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-88116800460204112302013-02-06T14:38:06.817-08:002013-02-06T14:38:06.817-08:00Hi H.P.,

If there's one thing I've learned in the nearly four years I've been blogging, it's that it is not a piece of cake. Blogging requires commitment, a little trial and error, and a lot of work. The rewards however, are great. I do believe we met through blogging, didn't we? :) Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
