Didn't work. lol It's pretty hard to get famous by writing. I suppose niche authors (including occult) find it easier to at least gain name recognition, since the book pool is smaller. But anyone who thinks they're going to be the next Stephen King is delusional -- even Stephen King didn't think he was going to be this enormous. It's largely a fluke. Being prolific doesn't hurt, either. Agreed. :) Though I’ve never attempted to write fiction, I did try to use NaNoWriMo a few years ago to keep me focused on writing. Didn’t work. lol

A lot of people like to write because they love writing and others like to share things online for therapy like others said or for a sense of sharing yourself with others. "Stuff" blogs are fun too though. :) It's kind of like people who think that those who take part in www.NaNoWriMo.org do it thinking that it makes them awesome or "like Stephen King" when really most people just do it because they love writing and want to practice or have fun.

It's sometimes difficult to understand but the effort your are giving it is very clear. You are learning some difficult words! :) I'm not familiar with the phrase "tub-thumbing." What does that mean? What disability do you have? I should visit your blog -- I have been very lax at visiting the blogs I want to read, because I am so busy. It can be frustrating. I'm pleased you find the blog inspiring. :) Hi Tomas,

I’m not familiar with the phrase “tub-thumbing.” What does that mean? What disability do you have? I should visit your blog — I have been very lax at visiting the blogs I want to read, because I am so busy. It can be frustrating.

I’m pleased you find the blog inspiring. :)

My affection is a fickle thing these days. ;) Dreamwidth has a superior import tool -- it even imports comments, linking to the LJs, not to DWJs. I haven't spent much time there yet but I did get my LJ imported up to whatever date it was when I did it.

I tend to think of blogs as falling into one of two categories; personal and I guess you could say public or commercial. I think of yours as a personal blog. I read it not really because I'm interested in spirit companions but because I'm interested in Sheta. By contrast, I read Erin Pavlina's blog because I'm interested in psychic phenomena, not necessarily in Erin. Also, this post reminded me that I have a Dreamwidth journal now that I'm actually trying to update with my life and stuff like that: http://clare-dragonfly.dreamwidth.org Makes sense to me.
