First day’s recap of Erma Bombeck Conference, and what a day it was! Tomorrow I’ll be presenting my “Overwebbed: Help I’m Having A Social Media Breakdown and I Can’t Tweet Up” and I’m very humbled to be here.
Wonderfully funny and incredibly talented people abound and the dinner this evening could not have been more hilarious. If you’ve not read anything by Laretta LaRoche, please change that and get her books.
She was the keynote speaker this evening and really delivered! Also Tim Bete (past director of Erma Conference) spoke and he was truly funny as well.
The room tonight was packed full and what a great honor to be among so many talented people.
I’m nervous about presenting tomorrow but I’m wearing my tweet-proof vest so all should be well, plus I’ve got to say the spirit here feels incredibly kind and generous. I’m going to try very hard to have the audience at my first “Hello, Ya’ll.”
I also got to hang out with Sam Horn, who I really count as one of my mentors and just think it is incredible gift to know. You should also check out Sam’s books!

Blogging is a marathon, not a sprint. If you’re blogging and all you’re asking is, “When will this pay off? When will I have thousands of vistors? How can I convert this to immediate ROI?”, then you’re blogging for the wrong reasons.
Respect the power of blogs and the time, authenticity and real connectivity that comes from blogging for all the right reasons.
Here are some good reasons to blog:
1. You want to connect to like-minded individuals.
2. You want to empower and enrich your blog followers.
3. You know it’s a marathon, not a sprint and you’re still willing to make those blogging laps count.
