2010 Comment Challenge

One of my goals for the year is to become a little bit more active in the blogging community. I read a lot of blogs, but I must confess that I am a professional lurker. I don't always comment and participate in the conversation. Yet, when someone comments on my blog, I become very giddy. It may or may not involve clapping hands, jumping up and down and/or squee-ing.

So I decided to participate in a challenge from Mother Reader and Lee Wind. It is a Comment Challenge. Just comment on 5 new blogs a day for the next 21 days. After I signed up, I realized it encourages commenting on Kid Lit Blogs. But since this is also a personal challenge for myself I am going to comment on all kinds of blogs including Kid Lit Blogs. I hope to discover some new blogs in the process. So comment away!

    -You totally just described me. LOL.

    I have been trying to comment more, as well. Good luck on the challenge! :)

  3. Good luck on the challenge. I am one of those that fall into the kidlit category, as I read YA. Hope you will check me out.
    Have a great week.

  4. Hi! I'm a writer and a reviewer. I signed up for the comment challenge, and I am having so much fun "meeting" other people! I didn't realize it would be so cool.

  5. I feel the same way you do. I love getting comments on my site, and realize I should comment a lot more to pass the feeling on.

    I struggle with similar feelings about fundraising. I get bummed if I don't get support from friends, but then I remind myself of times I wasn't able to contribute for one reason or another. Just like anything else, what goes around comes around!
