Not Debbie
I’ve noticed recently, that blogging seems to have a cycle.
Step 1: Decide to write on the intarwebs
Step 2: Work at spreading the word of your genius [commenting everywhere and joining groups]
Step 3: Get a huge following and panic by any of the following methods:
- delete entire blog or just archive
- move somewhere else and start again at Step 1
- change your entire format/style to cater to what you think your fan base wants instead of being true to yourself [that being the reason they’re all there in the first place seems to get lost in the shuffle]
- only post once a month until readership dies down
- post the most vague and boring information because you no longer feel comfortable sharing so much
Step 4: Leave the whole community/intarweb because you need to focus on ‘real’ life [i.e. family or work]
Step 5: Repeat
I’m not a blogger though so what do I know.
I found a keyboard I like, it should be here tomorrow. It is the Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard. I’m not sure about the zoom lever on the left side but I’m sure I’ll find a way of disabling it if I need to, I own a hammer.
I’ve been reading my cookbooks today to find recipes for BlanketGirl. She has IC and can only eat four foods so I’m hoping the British/vegetarian diet I enjoy might have a few other options for her. I love reading cookbooks. It is quite handy to have a reason to read them cover to cover in case I see something I want to try.
Lovely cleaning people came again today. They have cleaned all sorts and I love going around my house after they’ve been. We’ve decided to try it monthly because they’ve done such a good job and I need to keep some cleaning to do myself so I don’t become completely useless.
I keep typing things and they’re all extraordinary mundane so I think I might just stop here.

i’ve been in that cycle for years. :X
minus the “huge following” part. actually, any time the things my journal has repercussions in real life i get freaked out.
That might be a difference between us. I’ve only had my journal have repercussions in real life once and at the time I did panic and take down my site. But I learned from that mistake and I only post things that I would feel comfortable for anyone to know.
Also I’ve taken a few steps to be anonymous but if someone really wanted to they’d be able to figure out who I am easily enough.
I hope you find a balance and can get what you want from writing on teh intarwebs.
