Sometimes a post isn’t your best work. It kind of goes over like a lead balloon or something like that. You put a lot of mental effort into it or perhaps its something you think people might find interesting or inspirational. Pride in your posts can taint how you write down the road if you let it. Not every post will shine like a diamond, some will go thud. It’s interesting how people react to things online and in real life. It really is hard to please everyone but that doesn’t mean you should stop trying.

Something About Tumblr
A friend of mine deleted her Tumblr blog after being harassed by some who had issues with the fandom they feel passionate about. I thought Tumblr was a cool and safe place for everyone. It seems it isn’t. I’m sorry she did that but it seems Tumblr has a way to go to become that place of open mindedness and true freedom of expression. Fandoms are highly personal things so when one is attacked because of uninformed people saying ignorant things then perhaps it’s time to run along. I’m glad to be on WordPress.
A Bit Of A #Blogging Dry Spell
I am finding it difficult to post these days. Not sure why. Maybe it’s a creative dry spell. At the moment I am doing a lot of commenting on blogs. I hope to get back to my normal posting patterns sometime soon. Thanks for sticking with me. I do promise to keep on blogging through it all.
Bloggers Coming Home, Welcome Back!
It’s good to see bloggers who haven’t posted in awhile showing up with some new stuff. Their presence is always missed. So to all you prodigal bloggers out there, welcome back. Keep on blogging.
Daily Prompt: Anticipation
Turkey and dressing, corn and sweet potatoes. Ham and cornbread. Pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. Anticipation of the tastes of the season await. Thanksgiving in America is tomorrow and we are all waiting to fill our plate and to fill our bellies. Most importantly is the anticipation of reunion with family and to fill our hearts with love and thanks. There is also the anticipation of shopping on Black Friday too.
Something About What Makes A Blogger, Numbers Don’t Tell The Whole Story #wordpressdotcom
Blogging is a noun and a verb. It is something you do and is something you are. Your number of followers do not determine your value as a blogger because I think the quality of your connections is what matters most. Some bloggers have a large following while others have a few friends and neighbors tagging along. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have thousands of people visiting daily. A blog that comes from the heart will tell a great story and will bring people along organically. Don’t worry about your stats especially if you are an amateur. It’s good to celebrate milestones of people following but don’t get hung up on that. Every blog has a place in cyberspace.
No two bloggers are exactly alike. Their mission and purpose are determined by the writer and curator. I think individuality matters. Be yourself within your blog and create posts in your own way. Be sure your blog looks alive and tells the reader something about yourself.
As a person who runs a personal blog I am not out to be wildly popular but to share my message with all who will hear it and will connect with me. Being happy with what you have and be proud of your blog.
The one thing I always say is keep on blogging!
