I see you in the shadows...!

 h/t to Loralee for that image

Today is National Delurking Day, a fun event that happens on the blogosphere, and encourages readers who rarely or never comment to make themselves known.

So I encourage you to take this opportunity to let me know you've been following my ramblings about writing and life as a writer. Drop me a comment and tell me what you're reading and/or writing these days.

I'll start. I'm reading The Jeeves Omnibus by P. G. Wodehouse, and I'm writing the coffee house book. (See how easy that is?)

Then, you're more than welcome to go back to the shadows!

Who Do You Follow?

I read blogs. There are several blogs I read every day (including En Tequila Es Verdad, The Big Stick, Radical Catholic Mom, and Work at Home Mom Revolution). Until recently, my morning virtual routine consisted of checking my email, then checking each of the blogs before going to my Dashboard to add to my own blogs.

Blogger, though, has come out with a really great tool that has streamlined my blog-reading, and allows me to see updates on blogs I read regularly from my Dashboard. Not only that, I can feature followers on my blogs by adding the Following Gadget to my blog layout. (See right.)

I like Followers. Though no one is officially following my blog yet, it will help me see my audience so I can make sure the needs of that audience are being met.

Huzzah, Blogger.
