The simple thing that made my day

I have only been bogging for a few months and never had the writing experience to make it interesting. I have been meeting some very interesting people and some very great writers since the begining of my blog.

I have seen that there are some who do this tag with their Blog friends where the tag someone with links to their site and in return they get a link from somone else. I have never been a part of this and never thought that I was a big enough part of any community to be part of it.

I was looking at my favorite community today and noticed my name on someone elses post. This was not only a post for the new game of tag but with rules that make it a Compliment for me.

I was selected as a Victim that has to Select 5 more Victims and then I have to give 3 Writing Tips that have helped me. If anyone has read my writing then they know I can not give tips of my own. But I will try. I am also not sure if this was suppose to be for those that belong to this Community butlooks like most the people I get my advise from in the community are tagged already so I am reaching out of the domain to some of my other friends that may enjoy this game. So the next writing tips to come will be from: Natalie - who has some great written articles Kelly - Freelace writer Doug - Just some funny stuff Thomas - Has my favorite blog at the moment And Grace Who like me just writes to write, You can tell she just loves it. Now I have choosen the 5 targets, next is the writting tips from me... 1. Write what you feel and hopefully the reader will feel it also. 2. Don't over think or it will get confusing and wordy 3. Who cares about my spelling mistakes, my readers don't care neither do I... If it is that important to you then use a spell check. I do want to thank Chronic Complainer for including me in this, it means a lot to me.

Mentor?

I joined the Military at a young age. I was luck to find a Mentor in the military that was not only a great Aircraft Mechanic but also a great leader. I learned at a young age that to be successful look to someone that has become successful already at what you want to do. Unfortunalty in the position I am now holding my Leadership is not successful. Therefore, They hired me because of my leadership abilities. Who is my Mentor in Leadership now? Abraham Lincoln... Now, I am writing this because having a Mentor is very important to everyone. Right now I am new to blogging. I don't want to be a full time writer but I do have a lot of stories to tell. I want a writing Mentor. Do you have a Mentor? Is there one person that you strive to compare to? Do you Mentor anyone?
