My favorite bloggers write out of their own experiences and what they learned from those experiences that might benefit others by the sharing. Maybe those are my favorites because that is my own style of writing too. It is your personal stories that I love reading.

@ Deb – Ben, calisse. I was *sure* it was Disney. Correcting, thank you.

And no. A blog not checking stats? That’s just taboo.

@ Nez – There will always be someone blogging on what you like – but there is only one of you, and you are unique. Use that voice and make a difference.

@Deb: you’re right, I forgot it was done by Dream Works. I believe those guys started out working for Disney and then went off on their own.

Thanks for the heads up on the culture shock, I’ll go have a look now.

Oh, and–you were surprised at the massive blog commenting/responding via email rather than in the comments hoopla over at the knitting blogs? You should check out the responses to my post last night about blog stats . . . apparently, very few people bother to even check….

You know, if you wanted to risk another round of culture-shock.

Okay, the post WAS great, inspiring, moving . . . all that. But, um, “Spirit” wasn’t a Disney movie. It was produced by their competition–Dream Works.

My favorite Disney moment? When the Beast opens the drapes in the library and gives Belle alllllll those books to read. Be still my heart!

@Nez: That depends on whether you want to become a Jedi or a Sith Lord.

It is a bit overwhelming when you first start out, and there will be times after you’ve been blogging for a while that you still get those same feelings. I often find myself deleting or revising posts we have scheduled to go up because someone else beat me to the topic. That just forces me to dig deeper and come up with something unique.

Thanks for the (inadvertent) movie recommendation. I'll be sure to check it out, tissue box nearby. But really, thanks for the excellent post. I'm very new to the blogging world, and as I start reading other blogs, I'm finding that there are so many out there blogging on the same topics I like, that I sometimes wonder, "What have I gotten myself into?" This post really reminds me to simply work on writing, to find my own path (Light Side or Dark?). Nez's last blog post..A Most Precious Possession

I think so too. I think it’s very much about being who you are as a person and living up to that. I can’t say it better than you did, Rebecca, so thank you for giving me the right words
