But I will never be a Jason!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Raleigh Cary Realty

I was really writing quite a few blogs early on thinking I would just keep getting better and maybe I have but when I read various bloggers such as Jason Crouch I realize blogging is also a gift!  

Sometimes I really struggle to write something I feel is clever or even to think of something to write period.  To write something that someone would find useful or entertaining.  After all, I feel that is the true point of blogging.  Heck sometimes I am just happy if it is legible enough that people know what I am talking about!

Do not get me wrong I know it is important to get a spider web of various subjects and local areas on the internet but it also needs to be something a potential client finds useful or that a fellow agent respects enough to consider you a peer they would consider referring to.

But to write something you know will actually make someone want to read it is a gift!  To keep it entertaining and on a regular basis is a wonderful thing.  I am JEALOUS of Jason and many of the other bloggers here on Active Rain that I regularly read!!  Many of them featured and many of them not.

No, this is not a man crush on Jason, more of an envious dislike:)

I often feel the same way.  It is a gift to write something consitently that other people find entertaining.  I just let it flow sometimes I hit a homerun other times I don't either way its online and the more places your online the better seo.

George, sounds like a man-crush to me!  I won't tell anyone though... Jason's probably use to it though!

George - I thought this post is well written. Keep it up. I look at some of our earlier stuff and shiver - yikes. Writing seems to evolve and keeps getting better. Man crush??? LOL. I like to read Jason too, but then again I am a girl... ~Rita

George - If I had a nickel for every man-crush that I have received on this network, I would have at least a dollar by now.  And don't get me started on the regular crushes.  ;) 

But seriously, I liked this post and your last one, too.  I have subscribed to your blog tonight.

Justin - Most definitely.

Linda - Thank You!

Garren - That is not true...   He has actually been writing all of this time just wainting for my approval.  besides he may have already found out.

Kenna - At first I read that you were saying you read some of my earlier stuff and it gave you shivered.  I was like dang maybe I better go read it again:)  Yes, I hope I am improving.

Jason - Thank you! Now I feel more pressure.

I found this post quite entertaining.  It is tough to write good, entertaining content and there are some in the Rain who are truly talented, like Jason.

George, I think that many of us feel the same way. In the 11 months that I have been here in AR I have manged to muster only a paltry 5 featured posts... I must be thankful for what I have accomplished...

George - Your blog is growing and developing - keep it up.  I think most of us wish we could be Jason, and just keep working to get there.  I think all it takes is a couple of years of hard work and about 300,000 well-earned points to at least be in the same realm!

George, let's consider it quality over quanity. What you write is great! I have a bunch of great ideas started and in my headed. but they're never as good as Jason's or Jennifer Allan's.

We'll just keep reading each others!
