Glad you’re managing to stay safe over there. 6 months should go by quickly.

Yes, the Air Force sent me over here for six months. But really, other than having to be away from my family, it’s not bad at all … in fact work wise, it’s almost a “vacation”. And since I’m a “fobbit” (never go off the base) it’s honestly not much more dangerous than it would be at home, where I drive back and forth to work every day.

lol, as for writing, yes, it’s not necessarily that I think I am “bad” … I sometimes get caught up in the silly “not good enough” attitude, so I end avoiding writing. It’s not at all logical, and I know it … but it is what it is.

Ahh, time for networking. That is always a challenge. It’s actually not too bad while I’m over here, as I always have at least a couple of hours in the evenings to “work”. But once I get back home, I really would like to try to figure out a way to do this effectively in no more than about an hour and a half per day.

Yes, learning from the experience of others can definitely be a time saver … or, a time waster. Ultimately, I think you just have to find your own groove and go with it.

Keep up the good work. I’ve got you bookmarked now, so I’ll be back!

I appreciate what you said. I have been blogging for about a year. Only a few months ago was I bitten by the writing bug. I don’t think of myself so much as a writer, but a student of writing. I am enthusiastic, and there is so much to learn. Someday I hope to master this writing thing. Even if I don’t, I’m going to have fun trying and exercise this old noggin of mine.

With regards to your judgment of your own writing skills, I’m sure you are much better than you realize, but regardless please know that there are quite a few popular bloggers who in my opinion aren’t fabulous writers. What they possess is an ability to connect with their readers and resonate on a personal level. They are also kind and friendly. Don’t worry, you’re going to do great. The only limit for you will be the amount of time you can afford to network.

Happy Friday right back at you (although, technically it became Saturday here in Iraq about 28 minutes ago).

Yes, I found you via your comment on Sire’s blog … and yes, just in the couple of minutes I had to browse (will be back later, when I have more time to explore) I too think that your blog will be a good resource. lol, especially since you appear to be a skilled writer … whereas me, I tend to excel more in the area of reading … I’m still trying to figure out the secret to some day becoming a “famous blogger who doesn’t really like to write”

Anyhow, good luck with your move, and even though I just met you, if I can be of any assistance (or offer advice) feel free to shoot me a note any time.

Talk to you again soon,
Todd

Anyway, glad I found your blog. It looks like you will be a good resource. Happy Friday!

Thanks for popping in. lol, and yes I agree … you do seem to very much enjoy doing what you do.

This post is a great way to bring old posts back to life, and you’ve put a nice selection together Todd. I’m sure people will appreciate it.

I’m off to read If You’re Not Having Fun, You’re Not Doing It Right because that baby is right down my alley.
