Friends I’ve Never Met, Part Two

~ humoringthegoddess

Last Monday I wrote a blog on Friends I’ve Never Met and the influence they’ve had on my life in one way or another.

To repeat, in the blogging world, a good friend is not always what the world perceives. We don’t get together for coffee or dinner; we don’t visit each other’s houses or get into big deep conversations. We know very little about each other and probably never will; our connection is with words and images and responses and smiles we can feel over the Internet Airwaves.

Another good friend of mine is Darlene Foster at Darlene Foster’s Blog.

Darlene lives in Spain and is a prolific writer, especially in children’s adventure books. She is a delight because she has visited so many places and experienced so many creative things and shares them all on her blog.

One of her favorite places to visit on Costa Blanca in Spain is Altea, a charming fishing village north of Alicante with a blue-domed church overlooking the harbor. Her pictures made me want to go there and see this town for myself.

She is the kind of personality you love to love, even if you’ve never met her. Her travels, her books, inspire me to open my mind and explore the world and writing and see what I can contribute to it.

I hope you have good friends that you can share with us on YOUR blogs!

  1. I came to WP after Vox closed (the blogging site, not whatever got the name after). I do ‘t remember the design details but they greatly facilitated connecting to other bloggers, plus they supported meetups by sending pins/shirts/buttons to give away. The largest meetup that I attended was in SanFran, organized by them, and had 100+ attendees. It was to celebrate the 2 winners of a round-the-workd trip, which was won by 2 bloggers I ‘knew’ and was the only time I met them IRL. While the large “neighborhood” that I was in has mostly fractured/disappeared, 15 years later I’m still online friends with a handful of them.

    1. That sounds so cool! These days there are a million bloggers out there.. some with tens of thousands of followers, others with a dozen. Each adding something unique to the social media world. Some manage to encourage hundreds of responses.. I have learned it is quality, not quantity when it comes to responding. Your response encourages me to stick to this flighty yet creative path I’m on. Thank you.
