I don't usually open the editor until I have an idea. But WAY too often I only get one or two sentences into it and I say to myself "this is stupid and nobody will want to read it and they'll hate me and put sugar in my gas tank if I post it" so it goes one-way to deletedland.
Heh. I don't think I've EVER put up a post without a freakin' typo or something else... like awkward phrasing... that causes me to go back in and edit it three or four times. That ALWAYS happens. It's good to know I'm not alone.
It means putting ads up on your blog, whereby you forfeit your amateur status and have to submit to random urinalysis. Which is why I'm never gonna go pro.
Barco's comment is so right on. I swear, it seems that when I am most dry for posts, I am overflowing with fabulous comments elsewhere. Odd, that.
Well, maybe I flatter myself by saying "fabulous comments," but it sure feels like it's "fabulous" when it just pours out on another piece of un-real estate that belongs to another guy/gal/whatever.
I'm sure that made ZERO sense to anyone but me. You're welcome.

ReplyDeleteTime for a motorcycle ride then.
ReplyDeleteThe first rule of blogging is to make sure you're earning your pay. ;-) That means the blog is here for you, you're not here for it.
But you knew that already.
Ah - I'm sure this happens to many of us bloggers. Goes with the territory.
ReplyDeleteTime to change your scenery perhaps; that moto ride sounds like a great suggestion.
Me too...
ReplyDeleteBuck, I be tryin' to adjust to life at home and I have a serious prollum coming up with a legible post.

Inno: I did exactly that... sent at least three off to DeletedLand. I suppose there are always re-runs.

Not until it warms up a bit! New rule for geriatric mo'sickle riding: Never if it's under 60 degrees. The WX folks SAY it's 61 outside, but they LIE.
Kris: See above. ;-)
Darryl: I feel yore pain.
Yep. I often default to a saved picture or two.
ReplyDeleteMy latest challenge seems to be getting it done to my liking without editing it 29 times.

ReplyDeleteWhat does Monetize mean?

ReplyDeleteNo matter. You have such a lovely gathering of people who comment here and come by to see you Buck :)
ReplyDeleteGot that T-shirt...a drawer full of 'em actually.

Alison: I LOVE my commenters. You guys are the real reason I do this thang.
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe I flatter myself by saying "fabulous comments,"...
Well, no. No you don't. I read your comments elsewhere and they ARE fab, Andy. Srsly.
You can put up nothing and get more comments than I get with any post I put up. I'm not feelin' very sorry for you.
ReplyDeleteHeh! Good one, Lou...
ReplyDeleteReally good.
Nyuk!
I second what Andy said, Lou.
