Re: Who has a blog and what is it about?

I love your blog/website. I am a would be author. I love writing & people often say I should write a book, but I'm happy writing for my own pleasure pieces 500-2000 words.
I once tried to have some of my work printed in the SAGA & OLDIE magazines . They were quite charming & encouraging in their rejection & I have not pursued it again.

Re: Who has a blog and what is it about?

Tessa, some people add things to it if they especially like a card, but I lost my old blog, and with it the comments, so had to start this one off.
And no, it doesn't cost anything, not often that happens is it

Re: Who has a blog and what is it about?

I think it's sad that you let one rejection put you off.

If people are encouraging you to do it why not try again?
There is obviously an audience for your work.

Thank you Cass

Re: Who has a blog and what is it about?

There are boring blogs, hate filled blogs, political blogs etc. However for a totally inane blog, having no real theme, try mine at bruceoldfart.blogspot.com or bruceoldfart.com

This blog has no purpose other than to afford me mild amusement. Strangely it averages around 4000 hits a month from 12 different countries, proving that many people are seriously bored.

Re: Who has a blog and what is it about?

My kind of drivil, good to see a bit of stuff and nonsense being reported.

Re: Who has a blog and what is it about?

Now added to my favorites list! Your tag line at the top had me laughing out loud before I read a word of your posts!

Re: Who has a blog and what is it about?

I recently posted this on my blog. !042 positive comments, 2120 negative/hate mail comments! Go figure!
I'm fast losing my faith in humanity, but I'll endure.

I usually deliberately write posts that are either ridiculous or slightly amusing. However, this post is as serious as I can get. This is my take on terrorists. These filthy, gutless, stinking pigs are a blight on our world. They randomly and senselessly murder innocent men, women and children for no reason other than to cause fear. For this alone, they deserve to be exterminated, like the vermin they are.

First of all, the media need to stop sensationalising the activities of the terrorists. Instead of 30 minutes of graphic reporting of each terrorist attack, they should just announce the event in a restrained manner. Making it a sensation might attract viewer ratings and sell more advertising, but it is just playing into the terrorist's hands, by spreading fear.

Secondly, when governments around the world uncover the identities of terrorists, either real or seriously suspect, they should arrest them, remove the citizenship or revoke the visas of the terrorists extended families and deport them back to their original countries. It is reasonable to believe that some family members are aware of their relatives' terrorist intentions and are therefore guilty by association by not alerting the authorities. The knowledge that they will be deported may even push them to call the relevant authorities.

Finally, we need to pressure our political leaders into taking stronger, more immediate action.
That's all I will ever have to say on this topic.

What the heck is wrong with that?
