However, I disagree with your statement about artists. Artist also need to use the left brain. My saying is: load the left brain and let to right brain fly. One must also have the ability to shift into left brain and keep it there, on demand for business sake, when called for. Never restrict a brain ,let it do everything.

This particular banana post made me laugh really hard, and I read it out loud to my wife. It also got me wanting to write my own blog. I linked back to you out of gratitude, and just want to encourage you to keep doing your thing!

I think the biggest lesson here is sometimes you need to read the reviews t know what your getting lol

I connected with the right brain/left brain thing. When I first started my blog, I had no idea what I was going to write. Every once in awhile, I’d come up with a short story or some observation, but I wasn’t on my site very regularly. Then, not too long ago, a Facebook friend asked me to interview her on my blog. I’d never been on the asking side of a blog interview, but I took the chance, and it worked. She was happy, I was happy I’d made her day, and it’s taken off from there.

Now with book reviews, author interviews, and still the occasional personal observations, I am never out of things to write. And it’s all right-brained, but it still fulfills some of those “writing requirements” you mentioned.

Now I’m up against another challenge: those query letters and submission requirements for getting my next two books published. Again, left-brained questions for a right-brained product. When I think about what I am going to write to fulfill those requirements, I am just as blank as when I started my blog. But I overcame that with the help of a friend,so I will be asking my writing friends for help once again.

I’ve been struggling to write “How to” articles instead of writing about my platform. It’s what I know and will be so much more fun. Do you mind if I use this premise for my Gem State Writers Blog post if I link back to you? Thanks for all the great advice.
