I'm still blushing. To be honest, I thing writing is basically work with an occasional flash of something close to light. But I haven't figured that one out yet. I will take a looksee at your work. I'm slowly making my way through blogs and focusing on those here simply because this thread makes it convenient! On writing columns. I like the steady nature of it. You know that's a monthly billing, and if you're writing about a topic you're passionate about, that makes it even more worthwhile. On the other hand, it's demanding because you have to keep that content steadily rolling and try to keep it interesting for the reader. I've done columns off and on for about 15 years for different publications. My favorite is Web Savvy at The Writer, probably because that's one of my favorite magazines and the editors have always been so supportive. I've been able to meet some really inspiring writers because of the work I've done there, both print and Web, and right now, the way the industry is changing, it's just very exciting to be in the middle of it all. I thank you for reading and commenting--best, Kay Elizabeth, thank you so much. I’m still blushing.

I am amazed and inspired at how brilliant you are, and I would feel honored if you would take a look at some of the things that I have been writing about too. I always thought it would be amazing to write for a column, how do you like it, and how long have you done that? We will all grow as a result of having found this incredible community, and I can't wait to see what else you bring to the table to share! Bravo!
