I’m A Sucker For Memes
Critical Hits passed this meme on to me, and now I’m passing it on to you. I’m not going to “tag 10 other people” because I’m pretty sure I don’t know 10 other people, but I’ll hit a few on my way out.

-Start Copy-
It’s very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)
Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.
After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!
Just think- if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already!
1. Look, read, and learn. ***

10. Stay out of your comfort zone. Take risks, don’t be afraid to look dumb.

-End Copy-
I “starred” number 9 because this is the best advice you can give to any writer, whether they’re a novelist, blogger, or cereal box copy-editor. And I wrote 10 because…well you get it if you’ve read this blog for any length of time. 
Tipa, Brian, Ken, Dragon, and Magikarp—I choose you. I’d have tagged Cuppy, but she’s already done her duty.

Thanks for participating! Taking risks is the thing that kills most people.

But… but… but… what if you have an irrational fear of looking dumb? D:

Memes will destroy the intarwebs one day. Mark my words…

Ah, sorry, I haven’t got around to this. I think I’ll pass for now and leave this:
<strong>IOU 1 meme.</strong>
My advice: Don’t assume you know everything; always be learning.

I’m not ignoring you, I’m simply at a loss at a tip.
