The October Issue of the Blogging Bliss Newsletter on writing.com

When I logged onto writing.com this morning, I found that an entry from this blog was mentioned in the October issues of the Blogging Bliss newsletter. This was an encouraging and a good beginning to the traditional workweek. The entry mentioned was the one on Sunday, October 20, 2013 titled National Day on Writing: October 20, 2013. I clicked on the link, reread my entry, noted where I could improve, and then went back to the newsletter.

The other internet blog featured was one by Grant Maxwell titled Rock and Roll Philosopher, with the entry written on September 16, 2013 called What Makes a Blog Post Go Viral? This is an educational and thought provoking entry that every blogger should read several times because it helps us understand something about how a blog entry becomes popular.

I am looking for blog content on various subjects

I am looking for free content for my blogs. I have two blogs and it is difficult to write something fresh everyday. Sometimes it is difficult to write something fresh every other day. Therefore, I am always looking for links to educational and thought provoking articles. I am seeking articles on various subjects that I can share with my readers.

In my search for intriguing articles, I found a website, Article Alley, that contained the variety I was seeking. This website contains article on topics ranging from "Automotive" to "Writing & Speaking". The authors of these articles are both professionals and amateurs, all looking for a place to promote or syndicate the content the write.

The first article I found on this website is a Review of Trigosamine. This article has a lot of relevance for me because I am afflicted with joint pain. I have osteoarthritis in my right knee and at times, the pain is excruciating.

I have been looking for a website like Article Alley for a long time. It has educational and thought provoking articles by a multitude of authors. In addition, I can share my own articles on writing and other subjects. I am looking forward to reading the article located on Article Alley and to submitting my own articles.

I’ve written a lot lately

I've written a lot lately. I written over 85 poems, a couple of flash fiction pieces and an article. I have an appointment with Blood Services this morning, so I'm hoping to get a poems or some story ideas from that experience.

I like to post to my blogs once in the morning. Then if I find other things the rest of the day I can post again. I'm going to have to make other post today, since I haven't achieved my minimum work count goal yet. Now I have to fix breakfast and get ready to drive to United Blood Services on East Charleston in Las Vegas.

A Writer’s Tool

Daily Writing Practice Prompt for Saturday, August 1, 2009: “Write about a tool.”

A writer's tools are the words she uses;
the words placed in sentences and paragraphs;
the words inscribed into lines and stanzas;
the words that describe a lake at sunset;
the words that express similes and metaphors.

A writer uses computers and pens
to put these words into documents,
into blogs,
into journals,
into books,
but the tool itself are the words used by the writer.
