Welcome to FReerepublic.com.

Personally I like your article.

Get ready to be blasted by some folks here who for whatever reason refer to anyone linking to their own blog as blog pimps.

Personally, I think it’s OK, especially if the writing is good.

Long time FReepers will get a chuckle out of your choice of screen names, as there is a certain history of sorts here with ‘green-eyed’ women.

Enjoy your evening.

Thanks for the welcome and your kind words.

I am new here, so I’m not yet sure what is or isn’t acceptable. I opened this account after speaking extensively about the upcoming Virginia 2013 governor’s race with another FReeper. He highly recommended the site and thought I would enjoy posting and discussing issues here with like-minded individuals. Right after that, I started writing for TheBrennerBrief.com and I’ve been rather busy ever since! I haven’t had much time to hang out here, on Twitter, Facebook or Twitchy (where I was commenting regularly) because the writing is taking up a lot of my time.

If linking to your own blog is frowned upon, perhaps you or others could share some ideas with me about how to grow my blog audience. I don’t know that I would normally be so bold, except I really believe I have an ability to write, it’s something I enjoy doing and I’m hopeful that maybe someday I’ll be able to make a career of it. To me, this is the entrepreneurial spirit conservatives admire, so I’m a bit dumbfounded FReepers would have a problem with it. But I suppose as I spend more time on here, I’ll gain better understanding of how it works and what’s expected of me. I’m a bit rebellious though, so we’ll see how that works.

By the way, you are the second person here to refer to another green-eyed “woman!” I can only imagine what that person’s posts were like (yikes!). Were you a fan? This individual apparently made quite an impression.

Thanks for taking the time to write and let me know that you liked what I wrote.

I hope you have a lovely evening!
