It varies a lot, though, depending on what sort of discussion is making the rounds, but 1 to 2 hours is probably about average.<BR/><BR/><I>Where do I get my ideas for blogging for the most part:</I> All of the above. We only get comics once a month, so if I stuck to books in hand I'd rarely post.<BR/><BR/>Blogging gets priority over other activities: Sometimes. Usually not, I hope.<BR/><BR/><I>General questions</I><BR/><BR/><I>Do you work a full time job? Do they let you use the computer for personal use during office hours? During breaks?</I><BR/><BR/>I'm currently a stay-at-home mom and, in theory at least, fairly flexible in terms of scheduling. My computer use is entirely at my own discretion. That said, I can't be stupid about it :).<BR/><BR/><I>I decided to blog because:</I> I had discovered the world of comic blogs, and no one was talking about the particular things I wanted to talk about (comics and kids, although I don't stick solely to that topic).<BR/><BR/><I>Do other blogs inspire you? If so, which ones?</I><BR/><BR/><I>When Fangirls Attack</I> is almost always my first stop. I also particularly enjoy <I>Pretty Fizzy Paradise</I>, <I>Ragnell's Written World</I>, <I>postmodernbarney.com</I>, and many more that I can't think of right off the top of my head. (There are 91 feeds on my Bloglines roll, not all are favorites but all have something interesting to say on occasion, and many do regularly.<BR/><BR/><I>My ultimate goal with blogging is: </I> Hm. I probably don't have one, really--I suppose to some extent I'm just thinking aloud. It's nice to have contact with other comic fans, as I don't know any in RL. And it's nice to hear others' perspectives, learn about different books I or my daughters might enjoy. But that's all more to do with reading other folks' blogs. For my own blog? Clarifying my thoughts. Entertaining myself. Maybe being interesting to someone else once in a blue moon :).Brainfreezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012429906850880717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1153875996515308732006-07-25T18:06:00.000-07:002006-07-25T18:06:00.000-07:00I usually blog at night and at work (same thing, I...I usually blog at night and at work (same thing, I work nights).<BR/><BR/>I spend maybe 2-4 hours blogging and surfing the net.<BR/><BR/>Ideas for blogging: all of the above.<BR/><BR/>Blogging gets priority over other activities: sometimes. It depends on how much I actually want to do tho other activities in question. :)<BR/><BR/>I do work a full-time job. Technically, I'm not supposed to use the computer for personal stuff, but everyone does, and it's pretty much an accepted, unspoken fact. I don't have breaks, really, my job isn't like that. I work the overnight shift at a radio station and it's pretty low-stress, so if I blog, I do it when I'm not doing anything else.<BR/><BR/>I decided to blog because I guess I kind of stumbled upon the comics blog community and wanted to plug myself into it. I don't have a lot of comic-reading friends off the net, so blogs and message boards are really the only places I get to talk about comics.<BR/><BR/>Too many blogs inspire me to name. Whenever I feel like I'm full of crap, I go over to Alan Doane's blog to get a taste of someone who doesn't pull any punches. I think Chris Allen is perhaps one of the best comics bloggers, simply in terms of writing skill.<BR/><BR/>My ultimate goal with blogging is just to be engaged in dialogue with other people, and maybe getting some free review copies. :)Mick Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320185841491084888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1153840131217048862006-07-25T08:08:00.000-07:002006-07-25T08:08:00.000-07:00I usually blog:Night orDuring WorkI spend 1 to 2 h...I usually blog:<BR/>Night or<BR/>During Work<BR/><BR/>I spend 1 to 2 hours a day blogging and checking out the internet.<BR/><BR/>Where do I get my ideas for blogging for the most part<BR/><BR/>All of the above, though usually very random ideas (I've behaved so far) or reviews.<BR/><BR/>Blogging gets priority over other activities<BR/>Not often<BR/><BR/>General questions<BR/><BR/>Do you work a full time job? Yep.<BR/>Do they let you use the computer for personal use during office hours? Yep.<BR/>During breaks? Yep.<BR/><BR/>I decided to blog because: Chris coerced me into it, via a great bribe too.<BR/><BR/>Do other blogs inspire you? If so, which ones?<BR/>Not really, though I was fascinated with the World Cup blogs I viewed. A couple do actually, and usually not in a good way, but not off top of my head. <BR/><BR/>My ultimate goal with blogging is: Become the governor of a state and annex Cuba.

Strange how much a part of my life it is after one year. And how I call other bloggers "friends" despite not knowing their name or knowing what they look like at all! <BR/><BR/><BR/>General questions<BR/><BR/>Do you work a full time job? Do they let you use the computer for personal use during office hours? During breaks? <BR/><BR/>I use the computer for work, but can post sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I decided to blog because: I originally thought I had a unique perspective as a female and librarian; but now I've found many women in comics blogs. Now I think being a librarian, and running my own comicon gives me a different voice. <BR/><BR/>Do other blogs inspire you? If so, which ones? those on the Redhead Fangirl blogroll; tons more on the Comic Book Legion site.<BR/><BR/><BR/>My ultimate goal with blogging is: Sharing the comic and graphic novel community; writing exercise in a bite-sized way.RedheadFangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130452058774732168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1153772690157077852006-07-24T13:24:00.000-07:002006-07-24T13:24:00.000-07:00I usually blog:Night, usually.
