Writing later in life is awesome because it helps stop procrastination-- we older writers figure we have a lot to catch up on and can't waste any time.<br /><br />Looking forward to more of your posts!<br /><br />KarenGKaren Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-66576760232394457182012-02-15T15:01:42.644-05:002012-02-15T15:01:42.644-05:00I try to comment proactively too.

A good kind of exhausted, though. And I agree, I try and respond back to all commenters if I can. I also don't want to end up one of those bloggers who only comments back on other people's blogs if they leave a comment on mine first, so I'm trying to get to know new followers proactively. It's getting tougher every day to get to everyone's blogs, though. :-/<br /><br />And positive thoughts sent your way for your father-in-law. Hoping he has a speedy recovery.Luanne G.

I kind of lost my place of who I had visited and who I hadn't and only had time to do it in spurts. <br /><br />My husband doesn't think there's any obligation to return or even respond to comments. He mostly reads nerd-blogs written by nerd experts. I think that's different maybe.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598482777681428179.post-5229905752769762262012-02-15T12:16:06.570-05:002012-02-15T12:16:06.570-05:00Thank you.
