Since you asked  I&#039;m not working on a meiomr so I come to your blog more or less to follow what you&#039;re up to, see what you&#039;re reading, etc. For that reason I don&#039;t have a particular need for you to curate across this specific field at this time. I really appreciate your commitment to this community   but sure want you to be working on your own meiomr as well. (You are, right?)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I usually do not create a ton of remarks, but i did a few searching and wound up here You Are Not Tolstoy or Dickens &#124; Rachelle Gardner. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be only me or does it appear like a few of the responses appear like they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on additional social sites, I&#039;d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of all of all your communal sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think that what you said was very logical. However, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I mean, I don&#039;t wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added something to possibly grab folk&#039;s attention? I mean You Are Not Tolstoy or Dickens &#124; Rachelle Gardner is a little vanilla. You ought to look at Yahoo&#039;s front page and watch how they create post titles to grab people interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get people interested about everything&#039;ve written. Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little livelier.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I drop a leave a response each time I like a post on a site or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation. Usually it&#039;s caused by the sincerness displayed in the post I browsed. And on this post You Are Not Tolstoy or Dickens &#124; Rachelle Gardner. I was actually moved enough to drop a leave a responsea response :) I do have a couple of questions for you if it&#039;s okay.

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://rachellegardner.com/10339/#comment-74459&quot;&gt;Reina&lt;/a&gt;.

I wonder if the writers who push that have actually READ Dickens and Tolstoy. Maybe they have. I couldn&#039;t read Tolstoy. I tried. I love historical fiction (mostly) but having read Bleak House (plus y&#039;know - G.E. and TO2T in highschool), nobody wants that much description anymore. Nobody. I think you&#039;re right. Nobody really listens to Palestrina or uses antimacassars either.]]></description>
