Comments on: Day in A Sentence/Comment Challenge Reflection http://dogtrax.edublogs.org/2008/05/07/day-in-a-sentencecomment-challenge-reflection/ If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. ~ Charlie Parker Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:07:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: dogtrax http://dogtrax.edublogs.org/2008/05/07/day-in-a-sentencecomment-challenge-reflection/#comment-1747 dogtrax Tue, 13 May 2008 11:26:46 +0000 http://dogtrax.edublogs.org/2008/05/07/day-in-a-sentencecomment-challenge-reflection/#comment-1747 Ken I put you on my email notification list for Day in a Sentence. Essentially, I create a post (or a guest host posts), asking for a sentence or some other style of writing. You boil your day or week down. Share it as a comment on the blog post. Then, the host gathers them all up and re-posts them together on the weekend. Simple, right? Glad to have you on board. Kevin Ken

Yes! That's the word I should have used! Look at me back here checking up on your comment to my comment! I never would have made the effort to do this before, yet what you've said has perfectly encapsulated what I was trying to say... This is the kind of quality dialog I want to have all the time!

I have had to budget some more time, but it is worth it. I feel much more engaged in a variety of conversations that have me thinking and reflecting on a range of issues. Hola Ken I hope you might come back and join us in Day in a Sentence this week. The door is open. Look for a post calling for words in the next day or two (and anyone else who is out there can join in, too) Kevin Hi Kim

Thanks for the link to this post. I am intrigued with your Day-In-A-Sentence. I write haiku when the mood grabs me. I guess it's not unlike the sort of brain gymnastics that is required to do that. Nice that you gave the guru's a pat on the back - I think they deserve it too. Ka kite Kia Ora Kevin!

I'm also amazed at how much I've been missing in my commenting "conversations." I've been using coComment for a while now, but never really got in the habit of going back to check on how the conversation had progressed (um, duh, Kim, that's kind of the point). But, now that I have a reason and a focus, I'm finding the sense of community and connections so much more dynamic and empowering. I always wondered how certain people (ahem, Sue Waters) were able to comment on comments and facilitate discussion on other people's blogs so effectively - now I know! Now I just need to make sure that these experiences become routine in my blogging habits. Thanks for the kind words, Kevin!

Those are just life as it happens. :) Kevin Glad you are giving it a try.

I've always liked the idea of carrying on "conversations," and some blogs (like yours) make it easier by allowing you to be notified of follow-up comments. But too often, I may bookmark a thread with the intention of going back, and instead the page gets lost in all my bookmarks. So this will be great! Now if they could just do something about the other factors hindering my commenting: the can't-hardly-get-done-what-must-be-done factor, the soooo-tired factor, the nobody-else-is-commenting factor, etc., etc. ;) I just registered at cocomment; it’s a great idea.

But already I have been challenged about how I write and have become a lot more considering of what I write on my blog and how I answer comments. Will be interetsing to see how the next few days go. cheers Sarah I wasn’t sure if I was going to do the challenge because I thought I was pretty good at commenting.
