(Sorry, that should be 150,000-200,000 word novels!)

I blog. I weave on an Ashford knitters loom and relish the speediness of it. I like instant gratification projects. But I also write 150,000-200,000 novels.

Don’t think that if you like small, fast projects you won’t cope with something larger. Because, if you break it down into smaller parts, a large project is just lots of small ones end to end.

As others have said, it’s what we make of it. I’ve long had online friends but only since joining the blogging/knitting community have I made what I would call real friends out of it. The others were on the whole never that long lasting. I think it’s a mark of being older and wanting to give more to relationships.

It’s not for everyone. Some, like Steve, won’t ever REALLY get it but that’s ok. I no longer bother trying to explain. I know what’s good and real about it and that’s all that matters.

And enough of my online friends have become real life friends and that it’s quite clear to Sean what it’s all about now.

Also, love the song. A personal favourite!

Fortunately my hubby understands, but my mother doesn’t. She can’t comprehend how you can become friends without spending time with them. I think connections are what you make of them. There are people I see every day that I haven’t become friends with. And there are those, like you, that I have never laid eyes on that I prize highly in my circle of friends.

Yay for you, reaching your goal. I have a big nice book on weaving that could use a home if you are interested

No, it’s not just you. Maybe you should send him an e-mail explaining that. . . .

I love my blog friends, too. Some of them I have met, some I’ve had phone conversations with, some of them I only interact with through blogs and emails. But they are all awesome!

I’m really sorry you’ve had a tough week – hope the weekend helps clear the troubles away.

I love my blog friends. I love that some of my blog friends have become real life friends and I’m sad that some I will probably never meet, although I feel like I know them so well. Blog friends are like penpals I think but so much more, because it’s so much more immediate. And I communicate better in writing anyway, than on the phone (I think so anyway).

And I’m sure Steve actually said “Don, you are such a MAD project finisher! You have Mad Project Finishing Skillz!” (and even if you don’t, you rock anyway!)
