I’ve been staring at this screen for about an hour. It’s been blank for the amount of time. I ended up typing, backspacing, and retyping it again from the beginning because I didn’t like how it started. After a while, I realized that it’s not going to matter. Write from the heart, right?

I’m going to give you a chance to redeem yourself. I mentioned in my critique that you laid out the ground work but were a little slow on the execution. Using a sports analogy, follow through on your serve. Your instincts are good. Trust them.

While I think you were lacking in several points, I also think that you’ve got an amazing and bubbly personality that hasn’t been allowed to fully develop yet. We’ll see how week 2 treats you.

I’m going to have to let you go. Thanks for participating and I don’t want you to be disheartened or anything. You’ve got your own unique style and voice but it’s not something I’m looking for on this blog.
Most of you guys may not know about this, but Rusco has his own blog which he started not too long ago. Let’s show him a bit of support!
I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Firetree. Currently, I raid 4 nights a week in a hardcore guild. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup. 
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.
Must have been an incredibly hard decision to make. I have already popped over to Rusco’s blog and am already very interested in what he has written. Good to see that a quality writer isn’t completely lost to the world of WoW blogging.
I know I am looking forward to reading more fantastic entries from everyone!
Saresas last blog post..Do I babble about threat THAT much?
Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond! I’ve been gone for the weekend celebrating a good friend of mines marriage.
Anyhoo. It was a pleasure. I’m so sorry you missed out on one heck of a co-author, but I’m sure it’s for the best. /wink
I may be out, but I’m not gone.
Good luck to everyone else! I look forward to seeing who makes it to the end.
What are you talking about? I missed out on a solo blog author, man =).
I liked Jen’s post and am partial to you keeping her around and seeing more of what she writes. Glad she’s safe.
