Comment on Everything Must Go by Rose

I enjoy reading about bloggers’ days, even the minute details, thoughts…. even smells! Sometimes, you can find pearls of wisdom and nuggets of interest scattered throughout. Other times, it’s nice to see what others have seen… or nice to know that others have been through the same thing/similar.
Perhaps it’s a voyeuristic fetish or a want to have a connection with someone. Reading about someone else’s life takes away from feeling all alone.

And in a less eloquent way: who gives two turds what talking heads say?

Art or not, prose or not, lists or not; do what you want with your blog… because it’s yours.

“If you fancy anything you see below, contact me via the email link and we can thrash something out. Sketchbook pics, finished drawings, whatever; drop me a line.”

“whatever” Oh really? ::waggles eyebrows::
Hah

Yes. I agree with Missssssy. Do what you will, my boy. Let that be the whole of the law.

And never stop doing the art. It’s what you do.

The media have always been disdainful of blogs. Heaven forbid those outwith their hallowed halls might have something to say and even *gasp* an audience. How dare they!

There’s certainly been a dip in blogs recently-both in terms of those who write them and those who read them- I think mainly because of Twitter ( I have dipped too, so I’m also guilty). I think they will evolve- yours into pictures, as is only right for you.

Despite a marked reduction in comments and readers I have got to remember why I started my Misssives in the first place when I had no readers and no comments- because I like writing stuff.

Don’t think of this as a blog- think of it as your space- do what you like doing. Or else, what’s the point?

Up – I cried all the way through. This is for children?

I say buy books for the children. Or art sets, that would be really cute from you.
For yourself, have this person buy you a ticket somewhere fun to visit. Check out the Gaudi architecture in Barcelona or visit Prague.

I’m really curious about something: I’ve noticed this dark-haired frau appears quite a bit. Is there a story behind her?
I apologize if this has been discussed before, I haven’t read all of your posts. (shameful, I know)
Keep up your drawing, even if you get discouraged.
I stopped after a bunch of crappy bits and now I can’t get myself to sit down and pick up a pencil.

My week has so far been filled with applying for jobs and hosting pity parties with myself as the guest of honor. I’m hoping to salvage the weekend somehow. ::crosses fingers::

Strange flashbacks to the lone fetish party I attended in my 20s. If he had clothes pegs attached to him it would look even more familiar. My week is not any better, but I love the sketches.

I’m trying not to, but I’ve started doing that awful thing where you tweet what you think are hilarious comments at celebrity twitterers. They never, ever reply, and you just look like some starstruck mouth-breather on the cusp of being issued with a restraining order.

I know, maturity sometimes sneaks up at you and punches you in the nuts doesn’t it? The other day my husband and I were watching tv and he said “What’s happened to us? We’re watching Antiques Roadshow and actually enjoying it.”

Please don’t become a twitterholic!

Stan: Things are good. Though not today.

Catofstripes: I would quite like one of those, yes. Bit pricey. Though it’d have its work cut out for it with chunky me.
