Blog Nirvana: Communication, Swinging Vines, and 3 Drag Queens

“I bet when you read that previous paragraph, you could almost hear my voice in your head saying those words, a far more intimate and effective style of communication than the dry alternative.” Dave Taylor http://www.copyblogger.com/write-with-a-distinctive-voice/#more-957

“Occasionally, one is lucky enough to get “an expert” to write a Guest Post.  This Post, written by Artur Urbanski of http://artursattitudes.blogspot.com, is so much more than luck:  it is Artur’s story of living what we consider “history” behind The Iron Curtain as a boy and young man.  For decades, Western Society has been trying to trade on truths and fictions of what REALLY happened in countries under Soviet Rule.  Artur’s story is NOT a “Guest Post.”  It is an HONOR – one for which I cannot possibly thank him enough.  I am certain that readers will agree.” Rita’s Digest http://bloggrrl.com (NOTE: This is Rita’s note about an AMAZING series of posts by Mr. Urbanski. These are must-reads!)
“Once you feel inspired by basic elements, don’t stop. Release your imagination and figure out how to make the elements you’ve discovered unique.” Harrison McLeod  http://menwithpens.ca/artistic-creative-proces

“It would be a shame if a great story were not shared, if it went to the grave with you, for we are a race of storytellers.” Brett Legree http://6weeks.ca/2008/10/24/viking-fridays-tears-in-the-rain/

“If I was a mugger I’d use vines to swoop down on my victims because that would be very entertaining and they’d feel like they were getting something for their money” Jenny AKA The Bloggess  (This is like the best title ever written!) http://thebloggess.com/?p=677

“Find your own voice. Flaunt it like a bright pink feathered boa. Get naked, wrap your arms around it, and take it to bed. “  from :How Three Drag Queens in a Bus Lead to Better Blogging by James Chartrand http://www.copyblogger.com/priscilla/  (Okay, maybe this one gets the all-time greatest title award. I can’t decide.)

“Communication problems happen because you don’t like what the other person has to say” Corey http://zenhabits.net/2008/10/listen-up-how-honest-communication-can-save-your-marriage/

Have a great weekend everyone, catch you on Monday!
