What do you want to accomplish with your blog? What is it for?
To make you laugh. S/he who laughs last, lasts. People who laugh live longer. Unless they get hit by buses while doing it.
Laughter isn’t the best medicine (if it was, I could stop donating to Cancer Research), but it’s the best coping mechanism.
When I started my blog – to stop Tory Boy’s nagging – I was simply looking for an outlet for my writing. I had no focus. I wrote about my life and tried to make it funny, bunging in the occasional poem or cartoon. Then I discovered that the funnier I was, the more comments – and visitors – I received. Because people like to laugh. I elbowed the poems, changed my tag line, and learned to do with less sleep as I sweated over finding the funny in everything.
To celebrate being thirty three percent done with Post a Day/Post a Week, share your top three favorite posts that you’ve published since starting the challenge.
I posted 78 times in April alone; I have no chance of recalling a favourite.
Instead, I’ll tell you my favourite things about blogging:
- meeting all you wonderful readers and your delightful blogs
- learning the art of sucking up
- finding interesting titles – not always, as today’s title shows
- sharing searches that find me
- reading comments – you always surprise me
- feeling like Sally Field at the Oscars – you like me; you really like me!
Looks like Orson Scott Card had it wrong, by the way: the dirtiest word isn’t Third.*
*A preview of a future prompt.
And one final thing I love about blogging:
- having a place to disgorge random thoughts and knowing that you can’t understand all of the Tilly, all of the time, but you don’t seem to mind
