@robert I love this statement:

"In the world of blogging, the www bit stands for: Write Whatever Whenever ..."

We need to remember that, and, as you say, we're not a brand but people who share a love of writing about our daily lives.

More writing, less thinking, right?

@robert I love this whole discussion in blog form. I’m pondering my own response too!

@sylvia Looking forward to reading it!

@AlexWolfe Thank you! Yes, I’m no expert myself, but I try to remind myself of it :)

@robert Oh, all good advice I need to heed myself. I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to blogging. I guess we're all just playing and experimenting with what works and, well, what doesn't.

@robert It’s up! Tagged you too 😁

@AlexWolfe @robert how I understand both of you. For me is never ending experiment.

@sylvia Wonderful! I’ve linked back to you. Thanks for sharing! 😍

@bstn @AlexWolfe If any of you decide to write your own reflection, please let me know. I’d be happy to add it, just like I did with Sylvia’s post.

@bstn Exactly! One we never (it seems) grow tired of. I think we secretly all love the tweaking and messing around.

@robert @bstn I need to reread them again and have a think. I'm in the middle of upgrading my Bear account and maybe moving stuff from Pika there.

By the way, @robert what theme are you using on your Bear blog?

@AlexWolfe It’s my own creation. I have some ideas for offering a new version of my Bearming theme. It “just” that tiny little thing: time 😊

@AlexWolfe @bstn It sure is a never-ending thing. No coincidence I have this description for my theme: Just tidying up. Forever. 😅

@robert @bstn Our forever project.

@robert Ooo, off to bookmark and check out. I love that you have the talent to do these great themes. Here’s to seeing what else you come up with.

@bstn @AlexWolfe @robert I think many of us face this.

And while I enjoy every writing that someone else puts out there, I need to beat my inner critic before I can publish.

@gobino @bstn @AlexWolfe @sylvia So true, it’s so easy to let the inner critic run the show. Maybe the trick isn’t to beat it or silence it, but just to notice that it’s there… and accept that it probably always will be. That’s alright, we just don’t have to believe everything it says.

Hey, @robert I have written down my reflection. Please feel free to read them. 🙂

@AlexWolfe

BTW. It's great idea to collecting Reflections other bloggers below your post. Looks like blogs talking to each other. I like it!

@bstn Beautifully put! Love the Leslie quote. I’ve added a link to your post. Thanks for sharing!

@robert thank you!

@robert @gobino @bstn @sylvia Our inner critics are our own worst enemy when trying to write, or be creative. Yes acknowledge it, but we don’t have to listen to it let alone take what it says to heart.

@bstn I've added you to my Reader's Reflections on my post.
