Of all the blogs that I follow, I find yours to be the easiest and most enjoyable to keep up with. I look forward to your posts. I know that my love for culture and geography is a key factor that motivates my continued interest, but there&amp;#39;s no escaping the fact that it is your writing that has hooked me. It always seems to flow in a train of thought manor, which works well for my brain and that makes the experience all the more pleasant.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4580690295857485095/8915646721928349838/comments/default/4407275689885504469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4580690295857485095/8915646721928349838/comments/default/4407275689885504469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.madnessandbeauty.com/2010/05/my-life-as-writer.html?showComment=1274332043652#c4407275689885504469' title=''/><author><name>Struckbylightning7times</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00874086562332676560</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='18439052020034163409'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.madnessandbeauty.com/2010/05/my-life-as-writer.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580690295857485095.post-8915646721928349838' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4580690295857485095/posts/default/8915646721928349838' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1389424791'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580690295857485095.post-8947172285814375628</id><published>2010-05-19T14:09:33.462-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-19T14:09:33.462-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I love this.
