I think we all change and find new places of interest. It's good not to get too rooted in one spot. <br />Oh course, I love that she was a radio DJ for a Christian radio station. That would be fun! I'll check out her blog today :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-76373926746860589922015-06-02T14:19:21.858-04:002015-06-02T14:19:21.858-04:00Hi Karen - great interview.

I just wanted to write and writing posts is a good discipline. Hoping to get a few freelance articles submitted this month. Hope you have a good week and thanks for the interview.

I like what you said about not letting the blogging world suck you in with the “get rich from blogging” hype. I'll add one more. Some writers I know are sucked in with the "I have more followers than you" which is why I took my follower button down. I'm changing to WP, and there will be no follower button there either. <br /><br />Thanks for having Carol over again, amigo. <3 Hugs and loves.Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.com
