New Writers – listen in.
I have been reading a lot of blogs these day, and what seems to be consistent is that most people write regularly. I have been bad, but I will try harder. Not that there are many of you reading what I write, but this is more for me. One blog that I have been following is www.LewisFrumkes.com. He interviews rather interesting authors every week. He also asks how they got started and most authors answer by writing every day.
Either way I would like to announce that I am closing in on 20 pounds of weight lose and I am VERY happy with my progress. Tonight I made a Tuna Burger. It was pretty easy, just chopped up some fresh tuna, added some onion and and mayo. Voila!! I will write a post in the spring regarding my fish shopping habits; but as a hint, I buy all my fish from Seattle direct from a wholesaler www.cityfish.com. I mostly buy Salmon, but this time he had some fresh Tuna.
