I guess...Wow -- thanks ladies for all the comments! I guess blogging from the heart really can elicit a response from your readers.<br /><br />Heidi: You may say your blog is random, but I think your blog is REAL. All of us artists have real lives outside the studio, and it's nice to share those stories in addition to techniques and tutorials.<br /><br />Tara: Yes! I already found that post of yours and devoured it. Thanks so much for posting the link here where it might be helpful for my readers.<br /><br />Jen: I think Sister Diane has some great tips for bloggers, and not just craft bloggers. Did you check out her e-books? I've been thinking of ordering "Creating a Blog Audience: An Unconventional Marketing Guide."<br /><br />Meghan: Yes! Did you see Jennifer Perkins honest post about the chaotic state of her craft room? It made me realize that maybe mine wasn't so bad after all. And BTW, I love your idea to have "Work-in-Progress Wednesdays" on your blog. I know that I have TONS of unfinished projects and could probably benefit from some sort of accountability.Kim Taylor Krusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276530094500297909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17339770.post-85378842666393184002010-03-11T18:48:48.728-05:002010-03-11T18:48:48.728-05:00wasn't value 101 awesome? i completely agree a...wasn't value 101 awesome? i completely agree about the head over heart problem (not in your blog, in mine!) -- it's so easy to fall into that trap, and yet it's the personal touch that keeps me coming back to others' blogs. it's so great to see crafters i admire "show off" their mistakes and craft fails, and then talk about how they fixed them or how they knew it was time to throw in the towel.<br />i've started adding more structure to my blog -- certain types of posts on certain days, and following a project throughout the month. it's made it easier for me to write, and i hope it's better for my handful of lovely readers!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927211853698363505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17339770.post-36848379279702459502010-03-11T08:30:22.341-05:002010-03-11T08:30:22.341-05:00Thanks for this post!

I might have been offered a book deal by now, anyway. But I love my small group of steady followers - the ones who are just as likely to read about my ovaries as they are to worry about cleaning out their bobbin case. As for Sassycrafter, can you be "too informative?" I like that!Heidihttp://www.twokitties.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
