Last week, as you know, I was away at a writing conference at Mt. Hermon, California.
There, I met my good friend and blogging-buddy, Barbara Curtis of Mommylife.net. Here we are on our last night there, trying our best to look as thin as possible (she’s lost 75 pounds; I’ve lost 58):
We did spend time sitting side-by-side with our computers, too, because that’s inevitable when you are bloggers hanging out together.
As it turned out, many of the 450 writers at the conference were also bloggers. One night, we met together informally and shared our URLs and tips for blogging. I attempted to leave comments in real-time, but I began to sound like a stalker (“I’m looking at you right now!”) and then I couldn’t keep up.
But here is a list of bloggers who are also writers, that you may not have heard of (yet). Check them out.
