Armchair BEA: Day Five: The Future of Book Blogging



I can't believe the event is in it's final day. It really went by so fast and I feel like I made some new and wonderful connections.
Thank you to the new followers! You know you help make this blog a cool place, at least for me. I appreciate every one of you.

I thought some of the previous day's themes were tough, but today's takes the cake. I don't have a blog "vision". I just write what I know, which sometimes might not be much, and keep it as real as possible without being offensive. Sometimes wires get crossed in good old web-land, but for the most part it's one of the most rewarding things I do. The people make it all worthwhile, even when we don't see eye-to-eye.

Now I'm definitely no expert in blogging, so no "tips" will come out of me. I can only say be you. No one is interested in a carbon copy, let your personality come through in your writing... even if your a cynical, sarcastic oddball like me.

I hope you've all had a great BEA and Armchair BEA. I hope to one day join you in NYC and be part of the festivities and fun, until then I bid you adieu and wish you many days of happy reading and writing!

    I hope you have a good BEA too! And hey, don't be offensive is good advice. Some people have trouble with that.

    Yes, being yourself is important, perhaps THE most important thing. It's nice to visit all of the participants in this event.

    I think your post is an important reminder that it's not always necessary to have a plan. I'm quite ambitious and want to build my blog up, but I'm sure not everyone wants that. And that's okay too! Everyone is different and that's what makes all the blogs so different and interesting! :)

    I was at BEA, but after reading some of the A-BEA posts, I can tell you that you guys did something that I didn't do -- have some thought-provoking conversations about blogging. (Not complaining -- I did get to meet a lot of amazing people.)

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
