Romancing the Blog
You might have noticed the new Romancing the Blog (RTB) columnist box--as you've guessed, I decided to accept the invitation to be one of their bloggers. The first task was to write a 75-word bio for the page. I spent an hour writing it. An hour! Just crazy.
I've almost finished my first RTB blog entry, and I'm completely overanalyzing what I've written so far. I think I'll let it sit for a few days and come back to it. I'm not scheduled to post it until February 10, so I'm actually ahead of the game.
Watch for a reading report in the next few days. You don't really think I went to Tampa and didn't read anything, do you? ;)

We can form our own little overanalyzing club. My problem is that my inferiority complex has kicked in and I think what I've written will be like the worst-blog-entry-ever! And everyone will point and laugh at me and wonder "Why the hell did they invite her?!"
I guess we'll find out when I post on 1/31. In the meantime I'm going to try to beat my middle-child tendencies into submission. Shouldn't hurt much :)
10 Feb? 31 Jan? Oh, cripes. Lucky you. Mine is 26 Jan. Closer to the firing line. :D
I refused to analyse mine. I know it's crap but the topic interests me, so I hope it interests the others as well. It was the word count issue that made me bang my head on the desk.
"901? Bummer. [delete, delete] 828? OK, I need to get rid of about 500 words, right? OK ... [delete, delete, rephrase] OK, what's the word count now? 210. 210?! How did that happen?! How do I undo the deletion? There. What's it now? 901. Ah, crap. *banging head on the desk*"
I agree doing the bio is hardest. I still can't believe that I managed to mention Scottish sheep in mine! I hate sheep yet they are in my damn bio! Come on, the sheep?!
