P Stands For...

Putting Pen To Paper. (My one serious post of the     year) Three of my blogging pals closed up shop at the end of March.They're still around and they are all       writing, but The Literary Lab is no more. This has      caused me to reflect a bit with the letter P. I wanted    to write about what the blogging world has meant to   me. This blog has always been my writerly getaway.  I come here in hopes that I can say something to help  someone. Give hugs, some inspiration, wave to all of  you, or even rant a little. Beth talked me into starting   the  blog. Then she wrote a post asking folks to click over here and give me a follow. Davin Malasarn         (from The   Lit Lab) was my second follower right      after Beth.We forged a friendship. He even tried to     help when Christopher had some serious stuff going    on with his brain disorder. (If you don't know, he's a   scientist) So this is a shout out to Davin, Michelle,       and Scott. Good luck you all. And it's a shout out to all my blogging friends.                                                                                                                                                                                              
The people who come here have given me way more than I could ever give them. The comments have            boosted me, cheered me, and even made me feel the love. My hubby often comments that I act like I really     know these people. I tell him I do. Our blogging community is the best! So I want to say thank you. You guys and gals are the best. GROUP HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!                                                                                        
P.S. Blogger is giving me fits with formatting today. *shakes fist*      For more A to Z posts click on my          beautiful, flashy alphabet square at the top of my sidebar.

  2. Tell your hubby that we are besties! The blogging community is so close. (waves to Medeia) I don;t know if all blogging communities are this close, but writers rock...we are so happy when good things happen to each other. No competition, just happiness.

  5. Just because we've never met our blogging buddies doesn't mean that they don't understand our writing goals better than anyone! That's the beauty of it all :) I don't know what I'd do without my writerly friends.

  17. I'm saddened when people stop blogging. I feel like I can always make time to visit other blogs and post less on my own blog. For me, blogging is an extension of my writing. I've met wonderful people like you, and I don't want to lose that support. : )

  20. I hope this doesn't sound too Pathetic, but sometimes I feel like I know (and like) my blogger friends better than my "real life" ones.

    (((hugs)))

  22. Hi Robyn, I'll say that the one good thing about closing down Lit Lab has been that I've been spending much more time going to other people's blogs. Thanks so much for writing what you did. I definitely feel like you are a wonderful friend, even though we've never met in person!

  23. Awww. Thanks for the hug. :) My husband jokes about my "friends" sometimes, but blogging friends are fun. So there.

  24. Hi Robyn .. Blogger's been a pain recently I gather - you're not the only one suffering .. not to say that's much help!

    Hope it's settling down ..

    Putting pen to paper or digits to keyboard and finding other people there -isn't it the best .. and I bet some of us would be good friends in real life too ..

    Cheers - Hilary
