Reading was arguabl...I think they're overrated. Reading was arguably more popular decades ago than it is now. There's no reason why people should require a blog to feel compelled to read an author's work. It's silly. Agents and publishers are so gung-ho about social media presence these days, but really, if any reader is like me, they block and/or ignore most of the social media feeds they see on their feeds from authors.<br /><br />Now, if an agent or publisher likes to peruse an author's blog to get to know the author better, fine, that's perfect. In this capacity, a blog can be very revealing.<br /><br />I'm a Stephen King fan, but I have no desire to read regular blog posts by him. His PR people send out a newsletter like once a month, and hey, that's great. I like knowing what he's up to, or what he has coming down the pipe fairly soon. But a day to day blog of trivialities? I guess I'm just not that nosey.<br /><br />If the blog makes me think, however, I'm all for it. But I've encountered so few that do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015471343293414357.post-75559696329911632612012-05-06T07:08:14.714-07:002012-05-06T07:08:14.714-07:00I'll have to check that out.

Apparently there was this mirror that reflected what they saw of the model. From there, they could imitate it on a canvas.

I had only 5 days to see the city and Versailles and wanted to make the most of it. I researched the walking tours. I bought Rick Steves Paris - audio tour for my Ipod and I was set. I downloaded Rick Steves on my Kindle too. When I got there, I used all the information to tour on my own. This way I knew where I wanted to go and I recognized the streets. It was the most fun I have ever had. I can't wait to do it again.Vivienne Courtoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272454231081635590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015471343293414357.post-7642928079515469052011-06-11T18:55:08.068-07:002011-06-11T18:55:08.068-07:00So you have given me much to think about when I pl...So you have given me much to think about when I plan my next trip abroad.
