I am glad that blog posts can be edited. Often times you write something that looks good at first, but it looks all sorts of wrong later. Those errors can be a little embarrassing when you don’t catch them in time. It’s not the end of the world, but you know you want to not make a fool of yourself. Grace in the blogging community for mistakes is a very nice thing to have.
Life would be great if we could go back and correct mistakes we made just like a post. Writing is something I have been told I am good at but when I do it there are lots of little things including punctuation that have to be fixed. There are great writers out there who do amazing posts and I hope to be right up there with them.
I wish there was a setting that would prevent selected blogs from being reblogged by other users. Personally I don’t reblog a lot of stuff because I believe in generating original content. I will only reblog something if it fits in the philosophy of my blog. There is some value in reblogging because of the traffic it generates but there is also a creepy aspect about re-posting something personal from another blogger. With a little imagination and creativity people can do amazing work.
Sometimes you just gotta wonder
Sometimes you shake your head
Sometimes life can hand you a raw deal
Sometimes you are blessed beyond measure
Sometimes people make mistakes
Sometimes they get away with doing horrible things.
Sometimes life doesn’t make sense
Sometimes you need to run away screaming
Sometimes we need a break
Sometimes it’s time to pack it in
Sometimes you want a fresh start
When a blogger finds blogging no longer fun and decides to depart it is a sad thing. Their posts became part of your experience online and they informed you about them and perhaps a little about you. Sometimes people don’t have time or perhaps they lose their fire for it. I hope I never lose interest in this thing called blogging. So to all the bloggers who have moved on I say farewell and may God bless you down the road.
When you talk about great writers you have to put Snoopy into the mix. His stories of action and adventure are well chronicled on the comic strip as well as TV specials. His stories of tangling with The Red Baron in World War I are that of legend. It’s cool when you see him up on his dog house with his blue manual typewriter clicking away at some important work. I feel he would make an awesome blogger too. Snoopy has a lot to write about and perhaps we can take a page from his book.
As I said in my previous post we ate Asian food for dinner from our favorite nearby restaurant. In my fortune cookie it said…
Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity and humanity.
I try to do all of these things but I am not always good at doing them. The advice here is sound and everyone can use it in their blogging or other writing. You could also throw a picture in or two to further tell the story.
