The first daily word prompt “conversation” is appropriate to begin 2018 since a blog post initiates a conversation between bloggers around the world.
Four years ago when I began blogging my surprise was the conversations with other bloggers about every aspect of my blog postings. As my blog has expanded to different categories of short stories, poetry, photography and now my hiking adventures have been incredible.
My creative writing ideas arise from the inspiring conversations with my fellow blogging family members. So, I cannot wait until I begin backpacking, and other expedition activities to see the conversations expand.
When I began my online blogging conversation, I was surprised with numerous types of blogs, and I always wondered who was reading all of these postings.
I believe there are at least 7-billion people on the planet, and 20-30% are bloggers so at least one-hundred thousand people of the 7-billion fortunately or unfortunately thinks like you and me.
More importantly of the one hundred thousand people, five or ten-thousand will read what you post, and 10-30% will engage in direct conversation with you the blogger.
