Ana nother thing (sorry..!)

A lovely surprise on returning home was a comment from a new visitor, Ana. It’s always a pleasure to discover new blogs and new writing, and Ana’s blog, governingana, is one of the most interesting I have ever come across.

Quieter and more contemplative than my own brash, pink, cartoon domain, Ana’s writing has a quiet, sophisticated grace and is quite captivating. A visit is unreservedly recommended. (And wow, is she prolific! I’ve never felt like such a slouch).

Ana’s writing is the kind of thing that I myself would like to write every so often: less performative, more reflective and personal. I guess I tend to assume that people wouldn’t be interested in my innermost thoughts and feelings, or that it’s somehow self-indulgent to write them down. Ana reminds me that this doesn’t have to be the case. Thank you, Ana!

  1. Aw, this is a very sweet shout-out! *blush* Thank you. I sometimes feel a bit self-indulgent but then I think, hey, people only have to read it they want to. :) I do write quite a bit these days, but that will naturally slow down a bit once school starts again. Those mean teachers, you know...;)

    Glad you had such a lovely holiday and so much fun.

    Thank you again for such a lovely post.

  2. Ana's blog is very nice. But sometimes she is a bit to much into blogging. Should study more. I tend to get drawn in endless dicussions with her. I am glad there is D.

    Looks like an interesting blog and intriguing arrangement. Penelope, I hope you get smacked or something for the pun in the title though.

  6. Thanks for the comments, friends of Ana!

    And a spanking for punning would be entirely punfair, HG. ;p

    Penelope,

    I should warn you that while I am typically on the receiving end of things, I have some *cracks knuckles* topping tendencies.

    Keep that in mind, young lady :)

    Penny blows a frightfully unladylike raspberry and grins mischievously.
