DISQUS

Obama (if elected) may twitter, tweet, hoot, and blog---but will he be part of the community and listen, or will he be there to make carefully crafted political noise?
I'm trying to picture someone at lecturn intercommunicating in a room full of 10million people.

And I don't know about all y'all, but e-exposure is kinder to me than face-to-face real time. You can tweak what you twitter and buff what you blog to give the best possible impression. Just the best parts, Ma'am. A chance to nip those Dubbya & predecessors gaffes and faux pas in the bud.

Marcus, nothing wrong with you that a few more years and a decrease in bladder control won't fix.

Wonderful poem. I can hear that heart breaking.

I wish I'd known about the WILF project before the deadline - I've been waiting for an excuse to write about the lesson on ENVY that I learned from my OCD Jack Russell and our fat bunny.

Dang, I wish you had a feedblitz thingy, I'm a technotard about feeds.

I guess I have a lot to learn about poetry---not just what it is, but what it snot.

I'm bummed I didn't get here in time to play.

And I want a fun-o-meter button. I can think of a number of other emotion-measuring buttons that would come in really handy for a premenopausal mother of 4. Who produces these things?

I've heard that keeping a piece of shark fetus on you at all times will keep your motorcycle from crashing into a tree.

Mark, any man that can admit to being a raving fan of Jane is as cool, no---infinitely cooler than Darcy.

Aside from Jane, Darcy & John McClane (Die Hard) are my heroes. So I guess that makes me a bi-polar, High-Low concept kinda girl. (Duh, anyone who loves Jane Austen and action flicks....ya think?)

But high and low concept isn't a way to measure relevance. The potential for a powerful emotional impact exists in both.

Look at these guys: both use whatever they have to save the day. One launches a car to destroy a threat—and of course, blows up a helicopter. (LOVE that scene!) Bruce, you’re branded for life, pal. And the other uses what he has, namely money and connections, to save the Bennet family reputation. Darcy, we’re proud of you, man. Sorry about your mother-in-law.

Hi Mark - I loved your one sentence on Randy's blog. I had to pop over here & comment on what you left for me:

There aren’t too many times any more that I come away from an educational experience having learned something completely new.

(though tempted, I don't dare ditto that, I haven't been around long enough)

I didn't breathe of word of my quiet disappointment---at least, not intentionally, but perhaps subtley---at the amount of repeated information I got at you-know-where. Classes (plural) meant to advance further afield in a particular topic but seemed to fall back to basic training. Pov. SDT. RUE. ???

I really wish I'd taken Randy's clinic. Poo. Next time. !

Hi Merrie! I met you at Randy's table.

That's a relief. You mean, I can blog just to blab? I can meet people just for fun? I don't have to shamelessly bait unsuspecting readers like notches in my marketing headboard? What a load off, and what fun we could have just talking! But on the other hand, that means I have to be really, really interesting.

I only have time to read a small handful of blogs regularly (yes, fiction writing IS social. Randy's blog is pure par-tee. Some of us get all tingly from learning something new) . So I choose blogs of utmost interest to me.

If I had a choice, I wouldn't read my blog. Hmmm.
