I swear, I feel tiresome to me some days. <BR/><BR/>You know, every once in awhile I get into a thought loop that questions of "why do I blog?" So many answers, but yours is right on. It's a creative space for expressing. Sort of like a canvas or a pad of paper. But public. <BR/><BR/>That works, and I'm so glad you're reading it. I certainly enjoy yours, and I really do admire your style--writing and design alike.<BR/><BR/>xo.<BR/>KirieKiriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253821778906908627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457362241595345373.post-44130267153605661502009-02-03T09:42:00.000-05:002009-02-03T09:42:00.000-05:00Susan, what a great world where we can make these ...Susan, what a great world where we can make these connections! Your art stuns me, it's so full of motion and detail. I know I told you before, but it is like a gallery. This last photo of your table is like a peek into the studio. What a treat!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for reading my blog and commenting with kindness and congratulations. I look forward to getting to know you better.<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>KirieKiriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253821778906908627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457362241595345373.post-76770377315908369222009-02-03T09:37:00.000-05:002009-02-03T09:37:00.000-05:00Hils, this is high praise.

I can't believe it took us this long to be in contact all the time, but hey--when the time is right....<BR/><BR/>I think you are so talented and expressive, and you don't really give yourself the credit you deserve. You must begin blogging on our other site, dear, and perhaps start another venture of your own. I love your writing (and your speaking) and I'm eager to see more of it. I especially love reading your comments here! What great conversations we have...on the phone, via email, and now here. <BR/><BR/>love to you!<BR/>KirieKiriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253821778906908627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457362241595345373.post-4574607290032083182009-02-03T09:35:00.000-05:002009-02-03T09:35:00.000-05:00Lisa--I am a newcomer to your blog, as well, and I...Lisa--I am a newcomer to your blog, as well, and I so appreciate your tone as well.

I think that everyone who blogs should write exactly what they want to.<BR/><BR/>It is their time and space to be creative in and I celebrate the differences in all my blogging buddies.<BR/><BR/>I don't really know what I started blogging. I guess maybe to see if I could. I never thought of myself as writer, and am very critical of myself and my written word. The good thing is; I am not trying to prove anything or be a writer. I am just really trying to get better at expressing myself on paper. I enjoy the day to day happenings of all my blogging buddies.Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804726854985912546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457362241595345373.post-51004109150576211642009-02-02T20:37:00.000-05:002009-02-02T20:37:00.000-05:00You are verbose, indeed.

I am verbose, too, as evidenced by many of my emails to you, which are more brief compositions than reasonable messages. But, you're not verbose without purpose. You don't go on and on for the express purpose of hearing yourself talk. <BR/><BR/>I realize that this statement will sound vain, but I don't know many people personally who are better writers than I. They're better cooks and better at math and better actors and, certainly, better in business. But writing is something I'm better at than many. You, however, are one of the people whose writing I look up to. Your words are beautiful, compelling, so easy to relate to; it inspires me. I'm one of those waiting for you to post most days, wondering when the new one's going to be up. And I see something to aspire to in pretty much every entry, either personally (your open heart letters are inspired and brilliant, and I still want to make that stew), or in your poetry and prose (which makes me a better writer). <BR/><BR/>Thank you for this blog, Kir.

Actually, Annie Dillard advises never to be selfish with writing (by which she means hoarding material---choosing to withhold writing)...it seems you are open and forthcoming, which is not a mark of selfishness.<BR/><BR/>More and more I think that to be a writer requires the practice of writing, and writing often. Not publishing, not lecturing, not selling thousands of books.<BR/><BR/>You have readers who look forward to your writing every day. Not every author can claim this!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post. May many, many more follow it, and creativity flood all areas of your life.Hannah Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792203070774504501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457362241595345373.post-19875261841496504052009-02-02T12:46:00.000-05:002009-02-02T12:46:00.000-05:00Happpy blogoversary to you, dear Kirie!!I am so gl...Happpy blogoversary to you, dear Kirie!!<BR/><BR/>I am so glad you found my blog and I yours. You are such an extemely generous blogger, writer and friend. I see your sharing so much and writing so very enthusiastically as a gift you give your readers.<BR/><BR/>Like you, blogging created a writing discipline. I never thought I would write every day. Before I started blogging I had been totally mute, I had given up the identity as writer because writers write and I wasn't. It really is amazing how blogging change your life. My life is changed by knowing you. I am so glad you began this blog and that you share with is so much of yourself.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the lovely shout out.<BR/>xoxo<BR/>p.s. your writing is NEVER tiresome;reading your writing is a joy.La Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.com
