Except my cat is much fatter, sadly.<\/p>\n<p>So, there&#8217;s yet another website where you can catalog the books you&#8217;re reading and see what your friends are reading, and it&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shelfari.com\/\">Shelfari<\/a>. I was invited to join by a friend, but I honestly have no more time to sign up for any more websites. Still, I&#8217;m on there, with an empty shelf. (Trust me, that in no way reflects my actual bookshelf here at home.) My favorite part of the Shelfari website is that as a user, you get to be called a Shelfarian. Hee hee.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I had a writing-related thought today. (Actually, I had several, but most of them were not profound or of interest to anyone but me&#8230;) I was thinking about how, often, when I&#8217;m reading a book I enjoy, I can&#8217;t help thinking to myself, But I could never possibly write something like this. And truly, I usually can&#8217;t imagine coming up with those ideas, those characters, that complex plot. Today it occurred to me that this shouldn&#8217;t be something to worry about. After all, all I can write is my work. That&#8217;s really all any of us can do. And if what I write is nothing like what I read of other people&#8217;s writing&#8230;well, maybe that&#8217;s a good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I forget&#8211;seeing as it&#8217;s late today already&#8211;here is today&#8217;s schedule for Robert&#8217;s Snow &#8211; Friday, October 26: David Ezra Stein at HipWriterMama Juli&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2,18,10,86,73,52],"class_list":["post-2272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-af","tag-happenings","tag-views","tag-web-wanderings","tag-world-o-blogs","tag-writing-daze"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4445,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2272\/revisions\/4445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
