Now, we're writers, so I know there are those of us with personal blogs that we keep up in addition to whatever we post in YWS blogs.
And I know that those blogs are probably starved for attention.
So let's trade links and get the word out there. Please include ratings for your blog in your post.


Here's my blog!

http://nookreclaimed.wordpress.com

It's mostly for posting writing and my thoughts about my writing. The kind of blog I'd like to read: a little bit of writing mixed with a little bit of process. I'll talk about how I got to different thoughts and maybe my thoughts can help you!

I'd love it if you'd subscribed (if you have Wordpress) or subscribed to get the posts sent to your e-mail whenever it updates. :D And I would ESPECIALLY love it if you'd start conversations with me in the topics if you have anything to say about what I post. I'm looking for some interaaaaction.


AND some blogs to read for myself. SO POST YOUR LINKS! 8D

Here's my blog. It was just started a couple of days ago, so there's only one post right now, but it outlines what I think will be the most important part of my blog: my project. Here's most of the post:

Before I moved to Chicago, I had no experience with hearing my work read aloud, unless it was excerpts of my English paper the teacher wanted to share with my British Literature class Sophomore year. Right from the start at Columbia, however, there was this idea of writing not just as words on a page, but as words to be spoken, passed through the vocal chords. That is, after all, the way stories were told long before they were written and paragraphed and comma’ed.

This is something I want to experiment with.

What if we could make an online community, right here, right now, of sharing stories orally with one another?

It can’t be too difficult.

If you have any kind of a new-ish computer, you have a built in web-cam, and it takes hardly longer than a snap to set up a YouTube account. Even better, YouTube has the option of recording a video directly from your webcam to the website to upload. It’s incredibly easy.

Now, you might be asking why it’s important or practical to tell stories orally. First, look at the phrase: TELL me a story. When we were young, we didn’t ask our mothers to WRITE us a story so we could put ourselves to sleep by moving our eyes over words. We wanted to hear the story woven from the fabric of her voice. Second, it’s the way most stories are told. You tell stories to your friends and family every day, about what happened to you at work or on the train, or something you wished had happened to you, but really didn’t. By this logic, it should come naturally, so it couldn’t hurt to try.


And to see the first prompt, click right here!

My URL is: http://flywingslikelace.wordpress.com

There will be other kind of posts as well: word prompts, blog posts, teasers, promotions for cool things I find, so even if you're not interested in the TELL me a story project, you should still check back later!

Let me know if you check it out!
Leave me your links so I can check out what you have!

Hannah! I did see your blog post and I subscribed to it. But since I'm all too busy I'm up for your project later.

So, mineours : ww.xoxymoronsx.wordpress.com

It's basically a way of keeping three close friends connected since we shifted schools and now college.This is our social networking. :)

About Page wrote:Hi.I’m schizophrenic.OK, I’m not.But you have to admit it- you totally wanted to read this blog for three seconds there.The unfortunate truth though, is that this is a group blog written by three bloggers, all seemingly with multiple personality disorders. This last bit because we use screen names for the most part, but our real names crop up sometimes, anyway.

A few more things:

1.If you’re looking for a blog with ‘content’ or even just one that’s coherent for the most part, I have but one thing to say: “About face! Aaaaaaaaand MARCH!”.

2. For the love of (God?), leave comments!

Happy reading! :D

I started this project when I realized that my friends had a lot of talent in various areas that went unshared. So after some conversations, I launched this project this year. Unfortunately many of them have lost interest in posting. Whenever I make a creative piece that I like, it usually finds it way on there. This is essentially a creative work presentation medium, so I recommend you make good use of it.

Nobody will see your stuff unless you promote it in some fashion. As a tip to every other blogger who reviews this thread, Always let people know about your blog. It's easy to make create content, but getting people to see it and appreciate it, is what gives you a drive to work harder. If you don't have a plan of promotion for your blog, you will loss interest. So what I recommend is that you add the address to the signature, as I have done with mine.

This is my blog for posting art, poems, philosophy, paintings, photos, or video and other creative works that I've done in my free time.
I would be very happy if you checked it out, and made a comment or two!

I've had a few blogs over the past few years. My oldest blog happened to be on MySpace, but when MySpace just got to be too much drama, I decided to switch to Blogger. It's mainly just a place where I talk about my day, hopes, dreams, trials, triumphs, etc. Nothing too serious. I have a lot of fun writing the posts, so maybe someone will have fun reading them! :)

@ Hannah: The oral story telling thing sounds really cool!

Mine is http://missalliesadventures.blogspot.com/. I just started it, so there are only two posts at the moment. I've been having some problems with my template... I'll try to have it fixed by tomorrow.

Visited them both. (: I have Wordpress, so I subscribe to those more easily.

Also, I'm going to have a third video prompt post up sometime soon and it would be awesome to get my first participants, so if you're interested, have a webcam and vocal chords, you should stop by!

Any support you could give would be super appreciated! By support I mean hey stop by and read it, maybe subscribe to get the posts sent to your e-mail if you're down wit' dat! HAHA~

And come onnnn, I want more blogs to subscribe to. :) Post your links here~
