Masky,
I know that it helps keep me writing. I never would have come up with the stories in that blog, were it not for this idea that Johnmcnab and Ainsley_Jo came up with. Part of the idea is to try to get writing so that we try to get our entries submitted to publications out there. I haven't done anything with my entries so far, though I keep meaning to. MerryAnne submitted one of hers. I hope she gets it published.

Word.smith...and I love it!
I'm not going to write a second story for the contest. I was going to do a non-fiction piece, but I don't feel excited enough to come up with anything. We've got a great group of writers who have entered so far. The contest is a very good idea!

Thanks Telly,
I know if I want to tell a secret, I can post it in my fiction blog. It'll be safe. Hardly anybody reads fiction.

I will do my very best to get over there tomorrow, and read it. I promise. I'm just up too late right now to do it properly. And you know I will read anything of yours as long as you send me a link.

Rhiannon, thanks.....
The drill part is not fun, but there's nothing for it but to keep drilling.

Bright,
I'm sorry I made you feel bad. This post was meant to be facetious. Take your time. It'll still be there and boy oh boy, do I know about their being scads of stuff to read around here. I made a decision to cut back on the commenting for a while. I can read in the early morning and late at night, but that's it. For right now, I have to write. Thanks for stopping by.
Catch you later!

Don't you dare! It may take me a while to comment, but I think you have great potential as a writer, and you (like we all do) need to drill, drill, and drill. Stephen Barnes, a SF writer, told me that all writing is a drill, and you know when you get it right when people starte paying you for it.

You managed to make me feel bad. 
You know that I enjoy your writing and I would not intentioally not read. Word, there are just a overwhealming amt. of posts and I am always trying to catch up. I just recently discovered that some blogers have more than one post. If I don't read your post tonight then I will be sure to get there in the morning. I hope you understand!

I agree with that Meringue....
If it's more than a couple of pages, it takes too long....

hey , just woke up and couldnt
go back to sleep....guess one of the reasons no one reads fiction is that it means it will take up a lot of time.....as against a post, which is short, easy to grasp and comment on.....! will read this one and let you know.

Okay,
The solution I've found is to use other means for having fiction critiqued. Still, it's frustrating to put something up and have not even a mosquito buzz by in 2 days.

Both. Some time ago, I was thinking about leaving blogit, for the same reason that you're fed up. But I got a lot of support, so I stayed. The other time could just have been a goodbye 'cos I was leaving at night.

Gosh, didn't realize you are so far ahead.
I'm not sure I read right a few days ago in someone else's comment section, are you leaving Blogit or were you just leaving for the night? Thanks for taking the time, Ariel.
