Terry,
You write a very good blog. Keep up thegood work.
Hi, Terry,
Enjoyed reading your Blog! But wasn't allowed to post a comment on there! Anyhow, I may get the video you mentioned; by Joe Humphrey's!
Thanks

Very nice, there can never be enough good fishing blogs.
Thanks guys. I believe you have to have a google account to comment. I might change that.
Nice Terry! I posted a comment and will add your blog to my blogroll.
You might want to check out 'Wordpress'. Its a step up in my view for blog software and is still free--less limiting.

Terry, looks great, I've been checking it out.
I would be careful about the comments settings, lots of spam, you will see. At a minimum, view comments before allowing them to post.
I think blogs are cool, that's how this site started out, my blog, grew from there...
Nice. As someone who has also recently started writing, its awful hard to stay motivated to write - to feel inspired. The best advice I can give you (which truthfully has worked at times, and not at all at others), is to jot down your ideas - for me, whenever I have an idea that I want to write/expand on, I use my phone to start a "Draft" (unpublished blog), with the key points I want to cover. Then, when I am ready to really write, I have the starting point already there.
I'm not a blogger, and I don't think I'll ever want to be one. Do you feel a need to produce something on a regular basis? That would turn it into another job. Of course, some of us love our jobs.
I'm more interested in writing fiction than reporting in a blog about what's actually going on around me. Some short stories I've written in an hour and a half. Some I've been working on for years, and I hope someday to get them right. It's not "awful hard to stay motivated," because if I don't want to do it, I just don't. And when I want to do it, I'll spend the day at it.
I think about a story for a while before I start to write anything down, and I know the whole story before I start. The mechanics of it come easy then, and motivation to get the story into paragraphs is not a problem.
Ernest, you make good points. Part of it for me, is I wanted to write slightly more than fishing reports. I want to create, and yes, writing regularly is part of that drive. Not sure why, maybe I want to write a book someday, maybe I want to write about things I'm interested in, maybe I just want to force myself to write better, to learn in the process. But I do it really only for myself. I write what I want to say, share what I want to share.
I am sure Terry is doing it for the same reasons.
