I started attempting the latter, now I realize I kinda like the former a bit better with a bit of the latter mixed in when I feel like it. <BR/><BR/>In the meanwhile: I like what you're doing. Just keep doing it ... then if a niche emerges, you can always start a second blog! :)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984884570194204280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26439618.post-24854139645835652772008-02-20T14:50:00.000-08:002008-02-20T14:50:00.000-08:00You have to decide what your piont is.

If you want high traffic, free stuff, fame and fortune or whatever, then yes, you need to do something different.<BR/><BR/>It can be whatever you want it to be! If it's anything else, it's not fun, and it defeats the purpose of a blog.<BR/><BR/>Keep it up, I say. Try to obsess less over each post. Just post a couple of sentences about what you are thinking about that day. For example:<BR/><BR/>"I hate when people say, 'a whole nother'."<BR/><BR/>I bet a post with little more than that would illicit tons of commentary.ZestyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414060326696170724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26439618.post-88102246235355517852008-02-20T11:03:00.000-08:002008-02-20T11:03:00.000-08:00I say keep doing what you're doing.

(I want to print it out and color it. With crayons. Or colored pencils. But not markers.) You are a great writer, and it's nice to read your commentary and stories. Keep it up, kid.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577958943771889208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26439618.post-16476876977934503492008-02-20T09:19:00.000-08:002008-02-20T09:19:00.000-08:00Umm, you've noticed that I write about a whole lot...Umm, you've noticed that I write about a whole lot of nothing right? Write about your life, what moves you and throw in a review or two. Simple as that. Don't limit yourself to one topic.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031192870889190777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26439618.post-69218188433100070702008-02-19T20:57:00.000-08:002008-02-19T20:57:00.000-08:00What I like about blogs is the small glimpse into ...What I like about blogs is the small glimpse into somebody else's life. What they cook for dinner. The latest baby story. Something funny the spouse said. So I've enjoyed yours for those reasons. I think it's OK not to have a set focus, because for me, a blog is a nice way to check in on people. <BR/><BR/>But hey, baby pictures are nice, too!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800391968373066879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26439618.post-91074374798482149632008-02-19T20:38:00.000-08:002008-02-19T20:38:00.000-08:00Thanks for making my day Jill and Shelley.

Big smooches to you both!!!<BR/><BR/>And I must say, I LOVE reading your blogs. You are both so insightful, funny and honest. You make me want to visit you on these here interwebs even when I can't visit you in real life.Noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789743655241856555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26439618.post-76839481104081485072008-02-19T19:30:00.000-08:002008-02-19T19:30:00.000-08:00Oh, Noreen. Just today I was contemplating taking ...Oh, Noreen. Just today I was contemplating taking my blog off the market for just the reasons you're doubting in your own blog (i.e., I don't blog often enough, with much consistency in content, etc...). <BR/><BR/>Now, I hope I can take my own advice. <BR/><BR/>I love reading what you write because it comes from you. Whether it's a hilarious story, a list, a gripe, it doesn't matter. What matters is your honesty; this comes shining through each time you write. THAT is by far what keeps me coming back to read. <BR/><BR/>I do have other friends/acquaintances that blog, but they don't get me clicking back everyday to see if they've updated. You, on the other-hand, get a click and day from me, lady. <BR/><BR/>Keep writing. The psychic said you'll write a "book" not a "novel". Could just be a bunch of random tidbits on pop culture and religion. <BR/><BR/>It's a mystery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26439618.post-89262977110538428062008-02-19T16:46:00.000-08:002008-02-19T16:46:00.000-08:00As honorary president of the Rainier chapter of Th...As honorary president of the Rainier chapter of The Theatre Widow Fan Club, aka The Noreen Blog Lurkers, we would like a little of all of the above.<BR/><BR/>Given your propensity for writing less than 500 words, and seeing as you have much/are someone that we, your NBL faithful are interested in, why not short, pithy posts on all things Noreen?<BR/><BR/>If you pick just one aspect of your blog, then you leave out all the other things that amuse us - like your word finds, stories about your wee one, musings on television between you and that <A HREF="http://gluedtothetv.blogspot.com/2008/01/from-one-tv-lover-to-another.html" REL="nofollow">sister blog</A> of yours, and general theatre widow musings...and we would be sad.<BR/><BR/>We might strike. And then you know, as the writers taught us, that leaves everyone unhappy.<BR/><BR/>But at least Finian Road Image & Design can design the strike signs!<BR/><BR/>But I digress. {Isn't digressing what blogs are for?}<BR/><BR/>As we are your Rainier chapter of the fan club, we will go along with whatever you choose, but know that we will be about 50 minutes behind you because of the commute.shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950999867586813355noreply@blogger.com
