But once a month (or so), on my other blog, I am forced to speak about writing.<br /><br />@ Debra- thank you. And that poor watermelon was happy when she managed to escape.<br /><br />@ Laura- if you, who is a much better writer than I could ever be, feel that way, I guess I should not attempt to write about writing at all.<br /><br />@ Mary- thank you.<br /><br />@ Carolyn- I just love your blog (almost as much as I like its name, which is saying a lot). The other day, we were talking about what differenciates one blog from another- you definitely don't have to think to get an answer to that.<br /><br />@ Jules- :-) But I love reading whatever you write.<br /><br />@ Alex- thank you.<br /><br />@ Karen- thank you. Maybe I should put together a collection of Drabbles, like others do a collection of poems.<br /><br />@ Leigh - that's a nice name for it. Jack o melon!<br />And all the best for the interview- since it is on a Thursday, you will do great- you will on any day, but especially on a Thursday.<br /><br />@ Ann- not read much more than your blog posts, so will reserve my comments.<br /><br />@ Clarissa- that's a great way of looking at it. And in any case, we are talking about writer, not published writer. If you are not a writer, few are.<br /><br />@ Helen- thank you<br /><br />@ KarenG- I guess I just love the art form. If I can give it such a fancy name<br /><br />@ Julie- Should I call myself a Drabble Missionary, or a Drabble Ambassador, do you think?<br />;-)<br /><br />@ Diane- you certainly can. Because you always get to the point, and make it really well. You will be fantastic at drabbles. Have you thought of having a drabble introduce each chapter in your next non-fiction?<br /><br />@ Holly- *blushes*<br /><br />@ Stephen- thank you so much.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-1470122404082076602010-10-06T07:38:50.029+05:302010-10-06T07:38:50.029+05:30I like your drabbles.

Yesterday I found that if you have writing on the internet (blogs included) it's considered published... so, you've had hundreds of you short stories (drabbles) published. I think that makes you a seasoned writer.<br /><br />CDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160669603997465454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-54066610081085161372010-10-05T20:54:48.891+05:302010-10-05T20:54:48.891+05:30I don't feel qualified to write about writing....I don't feel qualified to write about writing.
