Reading other people's blogs, stories, and books helps us to become better writers. We're somehow more prolific, more compelling, and more engaging as communicators. If writing is the talking part, then reading is the listening. And who couldn't stand to be a better listener? Besides that, who wants to "listen" to someone who never lets you get a word in edgewise?

I never thought about it like this before. It is one of those really smart obvious observations I wish I had come up with myself. All my life, my friends have called me a good listener and now I understand why I love reading different blogs. I was the kid in school who had her 'group' to hang with but if I saw someone being picked on or who seemed lonely, my heart really bled for them. I always went out of my way to talk with them and just be a listening ear. Sometimes I feel a little crazy on SheWrites and I know I can never respond to all the unanswered blogs and I feel saddness. All those thoughts and feelings waiting on the wall of the gym wearing the taffita dress and puffs sleeves...yes I know many would more the "hot chick" beating off the dudes but you get my meaning. 3/7/2012 09:35:45 pm
