Thanks, Kris. Your comment reminded me that I need to include more questions at the end of my blog, and I went back and added one to my Saturday post. But I forgot again today, when I was posting about "Blatant Self-Promotion." Hope you'll stop by and comment!<br />

I love the "angst" comment - because a lot of my posts seem to be pretty angst-ridden.

If I'm interested enough to leave a comment, then I tend to return. But that doesn't happen a lot. I've read that questions in blogs are more likely to engage readers, and make them want to post comments. I try to remember to include questions in my blogs, though they don't always fit.

I like to read about the internal goings-on of the human writing the blog. For me, reading blogs is about finding points of understanding -- seeing other people going thru things I myself have gone thru, and perhaps having a slightly different take on the experience; or seeing people go thru things I'd like to or am afraid to, and how they fared. In a way, it's a form of vicarious living. People who write a lot about 'stuff' -- facts, figures, what the cat did today, etc. -- lose me pretty…

Thanks, Toni. I'd love to quote you in my blog, and then Google will send you an alert! (I'll have to learn how to do this too.)<br />

Good for you - we need more readers like you. Sometimes it seems these blogs are just about writers talking to each other.<br />

Great response - I like the "open for dialogue" part in particular. The trouble is, the dialogue can eat up your whole day - I haven't resolved that one yet. But hey, it's fun in the meantime.

In blogs I like...<br />
<br />
1) News/gossip, either about the field or something I'm a fan of. (That may the writer of the blog, but doesn't have to be.)<br />
<br />
2) Humor. I like to laugh.<br />
<br />
3) Morbid curiosity. There are some author blogs I read, one in particular, because the author just astounds me with her air of "I'm going to tell you everything about my life because I'm sure everybody wants to know."<br />
<br />
4) Writing about ME! I have Google alerts set to send me to any mentions of my books.
