You actually give REAL advice that is GOOD and USEFUL. (Yeah, I've read a lot of stupid "How to write better" blogs) Plus you talk about your wacked out life, and don't try to pretend that you are the Martha Stewart of career advice. Rock on sister! Penelope,

I am relatively new to blogging and in the midst of finding the right voice, tone and really rethinking step 1 - what is my audience. What started out as a place for me to journal is now evolving into somethihg else. I find that I enjoy writing more than I had thought. One thing I enjoy about your posts is your rhythm and I was pleased to see that addressed above. I just came across this and appreciate it.

You bring up the point of linking style. It's still early in my blogging life, and I wasn't sure if it was good or bad to link to one's own commentary. For example, at a cocktail party, quoting one's own writing is so boorish. But I noticed that Techdirt (http://www.techdirt.com) references itself all the time, as a way to show a cointinuing conversation. I like that. Add that to the list of things that are social genius online and socially incompetent offline. Thanks, Stephanie. You bring up the point of linking style.
