		<description>Wylie, I didn&#039;t mind you leaving a shameless plug!  So, I brought it over from the other site.  Here is what she said&quot;
&quot;I like blogging but treat it as my hobby/plaything/time-waster. I really do it to release the random thoughts coursing through my brain. And though I&#039;m happy that I&#039;ve got a little network, the only person I truly care reads it is my hubby.

BUT I DO want people to read my book, Destiny By Design, which comes out May 18th from Ellora&#039;s Cave *shameless plug* ;)&quot;

Everyone, go buy the book!</description>

		<description>Ooops! Sorry!! Left my comment (and shameless plug) at the wrong place.  Paying attention isn&#039;t a strong suit, anymore than prioritizing is :)

Like what you&#039;ve done with the new place!</description>

		<description>Thank you, Thomma Lyn.  I understand your fear of audiences, even though I don&#039;t share it.  The only times I have ever had any fear were when other storytellers were my main audience.  Comments are good.  Now, I have to figure out how to change my name from &quot;Admin.&quot;  This wordpress is not very easy, and I&#039;m a long way from feeling at home.
I appreciate your comment!  You knew I would.</description>

		<description>Hi, Shelly!  Great new digs -- congrats on your blog move!  Gotta change your URL in my blogroll, LOL.

I&#039;m impressed that you can perform in front of large audiences.  I used to play classical piano in recital and I was always fine in front of audiences for that, but when it comes to my voice, forget it.  Public speaking or *horrors* singing for an audience still shivers my timbers from my head to my feet.

In real life, I&#039;m very shy, but on the internet I&#039;m more gregarious.  Go figure.  Perhaps it&#039;s because I&#039;m more comfortable writing than I am speaking.  Perhaps it&#039;s the leisure writing affords to get my words together so they&#039;ll come out right.  No worry about tongled tangs -- oops, I mean tangled tongues. ;)

And because I&#039;m shy, I&#039;m not wild about being in the spotlight, any spotlight, but I love comments on my blog.  Comments make me smile.  Comments are more like a leisurely conversation than a spotlight, and comments make me feel good because they tell me someone has read what I&#039;ve written and have felt strongly enough about it to say something.  And that&#039;s one of the biggest reasons writers write -- to move people, to touch people.

Thanks for an excellent, thought-provoking post! :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not the one who got my articles over here!!  Leanne did it for me.  You don&#039;t have to comment on the Blogger site!  But, thanks for commenting here, silly.  I can&#039;t wait to see what the site looks like either.  I&#039;m still trying to formulate what I want it to be.  Probably still simple, but easier to navigate.  Thanks for stopping by!</description>

		<description>More than once I&#039;ve done my best to convince myself that I&#039;m writing for me, but heck, who do I think I&#039;m kidding?  I love the comments and the attention...always have, always will.  

And look at you!  You got all your posts over here and didn&#039;t lose a thing!  Way to go!  I can&#039;t wait to see what your site looks like in a couple of weeks.

Now, should I go comment on the Blogger site too?  I know how much you love your comments.

ciao bella~

		<description>Gattina, I agree that it wouldn&#039;t be normal the other way around, but some people think that wanting applaud is absurd.  &lt;BR/&gt;I also agree that you aren&#039;t shy or speechless (ROFL!).  And, I like my Big Bubba&#039;s stories, too.  I&#039;d like to get him to &quot;guest blog&quot; for me, but he doesn&#039;t have a lot of time.&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for stopping by and commenting!</description>
