    Margaret blogging for me on your site enter the between has been a fun adventure for me. I even started to write again. Thanks for being there and helping.

  2. Margaret Duarte says

    You're welcome, Dorothy. Guess you just added another reason to blog–to help you start writing again. You're doing a great job, and I'm proud to have you on board.

  3. L.A. Lopez says

    There is so many reasons why we all blog. As Dorothy said it keeps you writing, when you hit a slump. I blog to get my name out there as a author. I blog on my Nana Blog for the fun of it, and to share the experiences of being a grandmother in a much more modern world.

  4. Margaret Duarte says

    Hi Lee. Getting our name out there as authors is important, but I also like that we can blog for fun, as you do with your Nana Blog and Dorothy does to get her writing again. Finding the time can be a problem. But that comes with the territory, I guess.

    Hi Michael. You're very welcome. And yes, Todd is my son. He's working on two custom motorcycles right now (in the little free time he has after work). It's how he unwinds and keeps the creative juices flowing. Thanks for featuring his motorcyle on Roadcarvin. It's nice when a "small-time artist with big-time ideas" gets a little recognition.
