One thing Beth really loves about blogging is its interactive nature. She thrives on the positive feedback of her readers and watches her statistics to see how many readers, and from which countries, are reading her words. As a stortyteller, it is very important to hear people's reactions, but interaction is one thing writers rarely have the opportunity to enjoy. Blogging enables that interaction.
A Writer's Blot is Beth's original blog. It started out being a catch-all for her thoughts and feelings. Today, it catches and relays mostly fun or interesting stories from her daily life.
Another thing Beth truly enjoys is watching her blog statistics to see where her writing has reached. Almost every morning, she eagerly checks to see who has been touched by her words. So far, she is very excited to count the following countries (in alphabetic order) that have viewed this blog:
