There are three memes circling overhead waiting to land on my blog, so I thought I’d give them some help and combine all three. Leslie from Dog Face Boy, a talented poet, freelance writer, teacher, mother, and… well lots of things, tagged me to write seven random facts about myself.

But, you can certainly opt to write a short post on your blog directing them to the NaBlo read. write. poem. page, where they can see your comment threads.

Does that help?
