Obviously, you do have a following, but even if you didn't, that's what having a blog is all about, to post whatever you want. The best blogs, IMHO, have original essays like this... whether it be a chronicle of contemporary daily life, a memoir, or a commentary on current events or theology... being original and well-written is the important thing. (Don't get me wrong. I see lots of blogs with much of the above that is not well-written, and that's okay... but those aren't the best blogs.)<BR/><BR/>I have really enjoyed these memoir-type articles. I have a stash of similar articles myself. I oughta get 'em out and rework 'em, huh? In any case, keep posting yours! I enjoy reading them... and you are inspiring me.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I explained what a "double cousin" is in a reply to your comment on my blog. It is not the same as a second cousin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163008944016056003.post-71810750157781234562007-10-02T07:02:00.000-07:002007-10-02T07:02:00.000-07:00I'm loving this.

I began to more seriously concentrate on writing about a year ago, and I'm looking for all the advice that I can get. <BR/><BR/>Do you belong to a critique group? What do you normally submit? Thanks for indulging me. <BR/><BR/>MJ @ www.homeschoolblogger.com/motherjoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
