The Secret to Winning Devoted Fans for Life

Last night I wrote my second post on the great local blog Our PDX, the baby of Ms. Betsy Ritcher (@betsywhim). Betsy is a fabulous writer who has been in the blogging game a long time. I like to believe she INVENTED the blogging, although I'm prone to the dramatics. Suffice to say, this lady has stories and wisdom and likes me. As a PERSON. She's someone I really respect.

Ms. Betsy respects me, too. I know this because she makes the effort to let me know that I, and the other authors on Our PDX, are appreciated for our time. She provides support, both technical and informational. (I know where to find things! Hurrah!) Guilt about post frequency is outlawed. Betsy has a "real" job and a family, like the rest of us, and still has time to toot the "You're Awesome!" horn to celebrate our willingness to contribute and be a part of this project. And I've only written two posts:

I'm Native, I'm Proud
Top 5 Ways to Stay Out of Jail this Fall

I have a very good feeling about this blog, and it has everything to do with Ms. Betsy Ritcher. I'm really excited to be a part of it, and to meet my fellow writers on September 17 at The Chesterfield. We'd love to have readers drop by and say hello! Here's the link with all the details. Hope to see you there. =)

Let's go steady!
