Thanks For Reading My Drivel

   Posted by: jude   in Mature Not Senile Misc

Why in the world do I have this blog and why would I want someone to read my drivel = “talking nonsense and senselessly at times.” Sometimes I might have a word of wisdom, but not usually so maybe I am heading down that senile path and actually think I can write.

I know I can’t write and my poetry sucks even worse so why am I here and using Entrecard for traffic for this blog? I can’t really answer that unless I just want to torture people and see if they will read my drivel and respond and surprisingly many have, which I do thank-you for.

I have 2 other blogs which I’m not posting for right now because my world kind of closed in on me for awhile so for right now I’m just trying to get back to my normal with this one which isn’t to say would be the world’s normal, just the way I know and see it.

I am not a very ambitious person for the one commenter on my last post and I don’t do mailing lists. I wouldn’t know what to do with a list and I would certainly hate to push promotions down someones throat all the time, people get so tired of that and end up opting out.

I really don’t expect anyone to take any action and do anything here other than maybe take the time and scan a post and if they have something to add to please do so. I don’t always respond to a comment because usually they don’t require one unless they specifically ask a question.

I am a Cosmetologist by profession and I have a beauty blog, but I have gotten so behind in answering the comments about reciprocity because they keep asking the same things over and over instead of searching for an answer they may have been given already on the site, it gets boring.

This blog is basically to unwind and do and say what I please when I feel like it and do and say whatever I want without hurting anyone’s feelings of course, but you can’t please everyone. My opinions aren’t really hardcore unless it has to do with spirituality and I’ve been known to change my mind easily if something else makes better sense to me.

That doesn’t mean I am wishy washy, it simply means I can see when I’ve made a wrong choice because I try to look at the whole picture and I’m not so stubborn that I can’t see when I’m wrong and I will apologise if I’ve wronged someone. I really appreciate all the nice people I have met online and I really thank-you for reading my drivel.

I don’t feel this way when I visit your blog. That is what blogging is (or was) suppose to be all about to begin with. To write what we want to write, more or less like an online diary so to speak. If people don’t like what you write, then they don’t need to read it. I hear where you are coming from though, but today there are so many blogs out there, and it’s like some of these bloggers are in some sort of a completion or something, it’s crazy. I blog to write about what is going on with me and honestly to try to make a buck or two, but that isn’t happening either, lol! Write what you feel like writing. You know some people would rather read a blog that has what you call drivel, then to read a blog that talks about anything and everything, but their true being, it’s almost as if some of these bloggers are fake, and I would rather hear the real you, if that makes any sense or not, lol! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

In other words, you’re just like the rest of us. Or many of us, at least. I think we all find comfort in writing down our thoughts and observations on our blogs, but we also find a lot of comfort in reading what others have to say, even if it is just releasing their own thoughts and ideas into the blogoshere. I enjoy that, so I enjoy reading others’ posts.

By the way, I hope your world really is getting back to “normal” after the tough times you’ve had lately. Best wishes.

It’s not “drivel” if it expresses how you are feeling or how you feel about a certain subject! When I write in my blog I do so for myself – not for an audience – because it’s a release and a way to express what’s going on in my mind at any given moment. If, by writing what I do, it causes people to think or they can relate to it and therefore add their 2 cents worth, then all the better.

I really appreciate your thoughts about blogging. I guess I was questioning myself about why I would expect anyone to be interested in what I have to say since I am like so many others out there.

Actually, what I like about your posts is that you are so open, free, and expressive in your writing. I wouldn’t stop writing the way you do–your style is unique.

Wow, you sound really depressed today. That’s understandable. Blogging is a funny thing, it seems to metamorphose (?) as it develops. I guess it becomes what we need it to be. Hang in there.

I like your “drivel”–isn’t that what we do this for? I get frustrated because I came to this as a writer and I find that people don’t tune in for stories, just short quips. I’m discouraged when I don’t get comments in return, because yes, I do read them and try to comment back. I get frustrated by EC because it encourages people to pop in and drop, but doesn’t allow for commenting time. I wish they would change that.

Yeah, there are a lot of blogs out there that I visit once or twice, but those like yours, I keep coming back to see what’s on your mind. So, I encourage you to keep posting. Yeah, we offend some, make some laugh, or maybe make someone think–but that’s the beauty of this!

I built my whole blog around that basic principle. I blog for fun, nothing else. Yeah, a few buck here and there is nice, but reading the comment from my visitors is the best part. Keep on blogging. This is one of my favorites.
