We'll eat Jane's brownies.<br /><br />Colette, I won't say never, but I'm not sure I'm interested in twitter. Can't yet get my head around it. Yes, I expect it would be very fast & very noisy.<br /><br />Sarahjayne, So glad you dropped by!<br /><br />Kitty, Let me know if Amazon gets Farm Girl to you. After all this waiting I hope you won't be disappointed.<br /><br />Brigid, Vivaldi? No, it's Mozart's concerto for the clarinet and bassoon.

If you all decide to try twitter please find me at @cfmjewels. <br /><br />While blogs can be organized and focused, twitter is the 'clutter' of social networking. It takes some getting used to. Blogs are good for writing, Twitter is good for conversation (but talk fast).Colette Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685539849318739675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-58599035935459440882010-04-21T15:17:48.472-07:002010-04-21T15:17:48.472-07:00Quiet is all together too rare.

I like it here and I agree with you, my blog is kind of in-between your two. I am mainly blogging to communicate with people and love hearing other peoples stories, I'm story-gathering as well as trying to tell stories. By the way, have a look out for international 'memoir' competitions, saw something somewhere, cant remember where. Enjoy your blog of calm !Brigid O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646687391409208367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-15768780079234452052010-04-21T12:59:22.710-07:002010-04-21T12:59:22.710-07:00Ann, twitter?

It might really be a good networking tool for you, considering you've got to figure it all out without leaving home.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378428503220197256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589472503893819862.post-56255788678883356812010-04-21T12:52:54.561-07:002010-04-21T12:52:54.561-07:00I like what you say here about having a quiet plac...I like what you say here about having a quiet place. I'll have to think what this would be for me. I'm not sure it would be another blog. Blogging, as I've discovered, can get overwhelming. And now I'm trying to figure out Twitter. A quiet place will have to be somewhere in my mind, in the silence of my small living room--away from TV AND computer. Gazing out our front window at the Shenandoah Mountains. Curling up on the sofa and reading a good book. Not worrying about things that in the eternal scheme of things don't really matter. I think memoirs matter, because they are records of who we are now and may be in the future.Ann Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628616245339887301noreply@blogger.com
