Keep calm and keep blogging

To combat rude readers and rude bloggers, I thought I share some pep talks for bloggers who panic when they are blogging or not blogging or for posting something everyone hates or just for surviving rude people or for simply being awake. These might not be useful or wise or even sensible but at least you can ignore them.

01 - To whine is a policy for the living.

02 - The only time you should look back is to make sure there's no toilet paper on your shoes.

03 - Taking a vacation from your life (& blogging) is part of your life schedule.

04 - Don't worry about going insane, we're all crazy here.

05 - Sometimes all you need is chocolate and to avoid everyone.


Do you have some pep talks for bloggers?

  3. I like your number 2.
    My advice: you can't please everyone, so make sure YOU like what you're doing :-)

    1. Debra: There are so many ideas floating around the blog-o-sphere so maybe it isn't a crime to borrow a meme or two.

    1. Samantha: I think so. But I guess it's hard to think of them when you're in the middle of stressful situations.

  9. Blogging is the only time I spend on the internet where nobody makes rude comments. I really enjoy it therefore.

    2. I sometimes get spam comments but I eliminated the chance of those by only allowing comments on new posts and having to allow those on older ones. It looks like those spammers prefer to use old posts in order to clog up the internet.
      And otherwise, maybe I am lucky but I think it's the blogosphere. I've had rude comments on FB and Instagram, even though I know most of the people there personally.
