Quite a few of the other blogs have caught my eye, and it surprised me that at least three of us have marine forts in common! One of the blogs that I frequently read is Emily Speed’s (if there is anything that was going to grab my attention it is the subject of Getting Paid!). I think I enjoy it because I find it pertinent, pragmatic and emotional – indicators of a good blog, perhaps? A good rant is healthy too (at least I hope so, especially since my entries are little more than rambling rants).
I have pulled out a couple of things from other blogs that strike a personal chord, probably also for most of us at some time or another:
…. even if it is unsuccessful one has to keep doing it. (Ruth Scott)
…. the constant churning of ideas in my mind during periods when it’s not possible to zoom in on any of them and start work. (Judith Alder)
(on blogging) …I feel like I’m in a room with a bunch of people I haven’t met before …. There is the murmur of conversations around me. (Catherine Cartwright)
…ultimately my work is not to fulfil anyone else’s expectation. (Christina Bryant)
Suzi Tibbetts’ blog is very evocative, particularly when she writes about being alone in a place which is normally bustling. I also enjoyed the description of walking along a country lane in the black of night, having had that experience myself many times in the past, not to mention the occasional unexpected meeting with a ditch….
