I apologize to those having problems posting. Please email me.

I'm a reader and love to comment, plus I really enjoy reading the insights into authors. I buy a lot of books and it's fun to know little things that maybe others don't.

I have a blog targeted to readers, but I get lots of authors too - becuase authors love to read! (when they have time). I've still trying to build the traffic to this new site, so I'll let you know when something I do make a big impact. :)

My blog is targeted mainly to readers -- it's meant to be a pleasure to read. And I know many of the people who read it are "just" readers. But, because I'm a writer, I know and interact with many writers, so many of them also check in.

I started out life as a reader and I think it will always be one of the pillars of my life. Writing came later for me.

I answered you on one and not the other, though I can't remember which. I was a on a binge this week, and read three books. It was lovely. Before I started writIng, I read a book a day. I miss that.

I'm a reader with no writing ambitions, and while I don't have a personal blog, I do contribute to one that is geared towards readers.

The interesting thing is that quite a few authors both read and comment there--which I think bears the fact that most authors are first and foremost readers themselves.

I don't usually feel shy about commenting on a blog or board, regardless of its nature. I do tend to read it for a few days first, though, to get a feel of the dynamics and tone; I think it's rude to burst in without knowing what is acceptable behaviour, you know?

I have to add to my comment an interesting note. My mom -- a reader -- sometimes comments on my blog. She just mentioned that she sometimes hesitates because she feels her comments aren't as witty as those from my "writer friends." I told her she holds her own just fine. Still -- interesting syndrome.

I think MySpace just has a different crowd. I know a lot of musicians and theater people who have been using MySpace as their primary tool for reaching their fans for years. I don't think it ever hit as strongly with writers (though I could be wrong).

My blog www.strongwomenbravestories.blogspot.com
is slanted toward readers since it features --you guessed it--stories of strong women.
And it's relatively new too. Most of my followers are readers.
But they might be closet writers--who's to know! GRIN

My blog is targeted towards those with the same interests as me, mainly books, but I also blog about movies, music, etc.

I read a lot of blogs, and like to comment when I can contribute to the topic of the blog post. Sometimes I get tongued as to what I want to say, but for the most part I'm pretty comfortable commenting. But I will say when I first started following blogs, I was a lurker for about a month or so before I left my first comment. I was a bit shy. :)

On my Amazon blog, I review books.

On my Red Room blog, I write on various craft/industry topics mostly of interest to writers.

On the Teen Fiction Cafe blog, where I'm one of 13 contributing YA authors, we write for the readers.
