01 - Eat more fish. They are good source of proteins for your dull brain so that you would not end up posting something dumb.
02 - Offer to assassinate anyone for free especially that no-good dog next door.
03 - More yarn pictures, preferably with cats.
04 - Curse more, bitch more and always remember you're a wonderful human being. It's other people who are assholes.
05 - Never blog anything you know nothing of, unless you like doing more work.
06 - Never blog about what your significant others, your neighbors or your gynecologist/andrologist say to you.
07 - Always listen to your cat/dog/any pet that looks adorable but isn't when he/she tells you not to post something. They know more about you than you know about you.
What suggestions did your pet (imaginary or otherwise) give you about blogging?
Thank goodness there isn't a "Keep a litter box next to your computer in case nature calls."
ReplyDeleteFull Disclosure (this is true): I have three cats (sigh...yes, I know) and three litter boxes. One of the boxes is in the office with my computer. But, I haven't felt the urge to use it. Yet. I may have given myself a time-saving idea, though.
Al Penwasser: Cats do need their liter boxes, don't they? Three cats sounds a lot but then again, one cat is already a lot.

My ghost cat Her Royal Highness occasionally hijacks my blog and posts her own self-serving nonsense in which she usually ends up trying to grift or fleece my readers. She's incorrigible!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, she will be doing precisely that in my blog post tomorrow!
DeleteNope, that post has been postponed.
DeleteDebra: It's a shame but it's okay. Maybe HRH was too moody to blog.

Fun
ReplyDeleteChristine: Thanks. Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day.
DeleteWhat a fun idea! If I had to take blogging advice from my inner bear mama, it would probably go like this:
ReplyDeleteProtect your cubs at all costs. In blogging terms: not every part of your life is content. Some things stay in the cave.
Only eat the sweetest berries. Translation: don’t engage with every comment or topic; pick the ones that actually nourish you.
Hibernate when needed. If you have nothing meaningful (or kind) to say, go quiet. The internet will survive.
Make noise when something matters. Bears don’t do subtle when it counts; if you care about something, say it clearly and unapologetically.
Roam your own territory. Stop comparing your blog to others. Your forest, your rules.
Trust your instincts. If a post feels off, it probably is. Sit on it (preferably through a full hibernation cycle).
Bulk up before winter. Build a backlog of ideas for when creativity inevitably disappears.
Tamara: Good advices. Sometimes I think people overshare. I do try to write posts and let them rest until I think to take them out but most of the time, most didn't make it out.
DeleteThank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.
This was an absolute joy to read, and I can definitely see a cat suggesting all these. I think if I had a cat, they'd suggest I blog more about them and include them more often in my posts.
ReplyDeleteHannah@ Hannah, Fully: Cats do like to show off or maybe that's the impression I get from other people. I'm sure there are shy cats somewhere.
DeleteThank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.
My cats used to get up and walk on keyboard. I think they were trying to type me a message, but I was never smart enough to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteLive and Learn: That's too bad.
DeleteThank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.
I always love your posts. You haven't written a book by any chance???
ReplyDeleteMarianne: Sadly, I haven't even finished writing one book even though I have started on several novels.
DeleteThank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.
Thanks, Lissa. I'm sure you'll finish one one day and I'd be happy to read it.
