Did you know I follow fashion blogs? And I don’t do it to just see the pretty women. As a writer I like to write about a lot of things and the characters in my stories have experiences and sometimes as a man I just don’t know some of the little things that I need to know about parts of society that would make a moment connect with a reader instead of totally destroying the scene for them.
What’s popular in shoes right now?
I have no idea. To me it’s what I like at the time, but for women there is a whole other level to it. And men, isn’t that one reason we should love and appreciate those little things? How often have you noticed how her nails seem to match her shoes and how those shoes show off her ankle just right? It’s an art form.
Pants, skirt, or dress?
I have no idea what is appropriate for certain occasions. I just know when a woman looks nice and that is fine with me. Men are lucky. We just throw on about anything and no one thinks about it because we aren’t supposed to know any better. It’s an observation on society in a way but women are supposed to know what to wear. And when a woman gets it all right, every person looks at them and pauses and the skies open up and angels sing.
I follow Food blogs as well.
You want to describe something a character is eating but all your mind sees is a bacon burger at McDonald’s but they are at a nice upscale Italian restaurant. Food blogs help me see different kinds of foods as, I want a romantic dinner not burger town. When you want to have something that is edible but sensuous to see at the same time, you need to go to the blogs. And men, ribs, steaks, and nachos aren’t going to cut it. The food has to be as sexy and elegant as the woman you are with.
Do I follow certain kinds of blogs just for reference?
No, I also follow for inspiration. I follow Artists, Photographers, Poets, and some that I don’t even know what they would be categorized in. Some of my favorites are those who would fall into the category of Life Survivors. I get inspiration for characters from something they share either emotionally or visually.
Yesterday I read a blog where the woman just poured out her soul and I connected to a spirit that could drive any female character in a book to the top of the lists. We follow blogs to support each other in the blog world but we also do it because we like what we see. And no I don’t stalk anyone. I do watch for posts from everyone I follow though.
Now Follow for Inspiration.

I like this a lot! Connecting with others is what I enjoy most about blogging. And what started off as just a place for me to ‘offload’, has now become so much more – a community. like you, I tend to follow people from all walks of life. Fashion blogs, personal blogs, travel blogs, poets, authors, artists, photographers, cooks! I love the diversity, and I love making special connections with others. Great post (as always!) 🙂

Really liked this. I just posted my first few blogs. I’m excited to share this constantly unfolding journey of my life while connecting it to others. I find inspiration in people in general no matter what they do for a living or what their passions may be. I’m an avid people watcher. Having the privilege to read others blogs is a great way to keep my own creative juices flowing and in return share my heart and soul with others.

I just went to your site and I like your writing. You first post was difficult to read, but well done. I left a comment on a couple of them and am following you. That first post took a lot of courage to write and share.
Much Respect and Admiration
