Hi there Pink Ink.

Welcome! I love the name of your blog. It’s great when you can go with the flow isn’t it? Blogs are a good place to share and receive feedback, and be encouraged to keep going.

Hello Davina . I love your simple poem. I usually don’t write poetry, but I love that I can experiment on my blog. And like you, I start writing and I don’t know where it’s heading…

And I can relate to what you are saying. I do love blogs that interact with their commenters, even if it’s going to your own blog and leaving a comment. Makes you feel like they care!

Hi Jannie. Thanks! I’ve fantasized about writing songs (words only) but didn’t pursue it. Do you think I could? Do know a singer?

Yes, I had a lot up my sleeve on this one!

Well, maybe not off the cuff, I see now 5 hours. A rather longish cuff, a sleeve extention , if you will

Wow, pretty cool 25 words for off the cuff. You write songs too?

Hi Kathy. Awwwh, thanks! That is SO what I’m going for on this blog. I want to set an inviting, comfortable mood for the reader. And BTW… it took me over 5 hours to come up with these 25 words; that’s 5 words an hour. I think probably anybody who was crazy enough to take that much time could probably come up with something they were proud of. And, I have to say that I am PROUD of these 25 words!

DARN! I missed the deadline but I couldn’t begin to even TRY to compose something after reading your 25 words. (It would be like a 1st grader trying to copy the Sistine Chapel!)

THAT WAS TRULY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Everyone’s blog is a different experience. Yours is definitely a cozy shop where as you walk in, the owner invites you to sit down and share a cup of tea! Some of the big blogs are more like a Costco – when you enter the store you’re supposed to grab your cart, get your stuff and get out.

Thanks Robin.
No, a few years ago I wouldn’t have imagined ANY of this in my wildest dreams! We’ve come a long way. And until I read your comment, I hadn’t even stopped to consider how much I appreciate all this. I get so used to clicking buttons and links with immediate results. Talk about spoiled! Thanks for waking me up to that.

I love your poem, Davina.

You know, I think there’s just simply different types of blogs – it’s just a medium. Some just give information or tell stories, like books and magazines do, and some are interactive.

Now I LOVE the interactive bit – interactive blogging is the most incredible phenomenon, I reckon. Could we have imagined a few years ago that we could have these intertwined online magazines/columns going, where we could write what we wanted, get artistic how we want, and have written responses to our “articles” almost immediately, and we could reply to them – and so could other people! And everyone helps each other, which is what makes it all work well, and we can choose whether to interact or not, as we go along.

Amazing!
