OK don't laugh, but I only just realised its Wednesday But it's not such a bad thing coz it's pay day so I just went out and brought myself some chocolate hehe! If it was Tuesday today I'd have to wait untill tomorrow, but it isn't so yay.
I decided to put three blogging events all in the one post. I hope you don't mind.
First up, Resurrection Blogfest hosted by the very gorgeous Mina Lobo at Some Dark Romantic. For this one we have to share a post from our first year of blogging that may have gone unnoticed and so deserves a little tlc. When I first started blogging I really had no idea what to write about so most of my earlier posts are pretty crap - ok not totally crap or I wouldn't have posted them, but they are still not worthy of resurrection. The post I have decided to share with you is the very first blogfest I ever took part in. I was such a noob that I got all my linking totally wrong haha - I couldn't even copy and paste hahaha! I really enjoyed this one because it allowed me to think of things that make me smile. Because I was a newbie and only had four followers at the time - which I thought was amazing - this post has pretty much gone unread. So here it is....
Seven Deadly Sins:
Blog Hop originated from Whispering Sweet Nothings.

Sloth
Gluttony

Next up is I'm Thankful For my Readers blog hop hosted by two gorgeous ladies, Tara and Vikki. Now, we are supposed to be creative for this one, but I completely forgot. So, I'm literally just gona come up with something on the spot - apologies in advance!
My readers are so lovely,
They make me feel warm and bubbly.
Without them I'd cry,
and probably die,
but I don't have to worry,
because they are so lovely.
Hmm, well. That's what happens when you don't prepare folks!
I have some regular commenter's who I absolutely adore, and the cool thing about them is they are among my favourite blogs! You guys make me feel better about blogging and I stick at it becauseof you - I'm very grateful for that. I'm not going to link to them because I'm 100% sure every single one of them will comment - they are awesome - luv you guys :)
And now for IWSG, hosted by the gorgeous Alex. I wasn't too insecure this month, until now - that poem sucks! I'm definitely crying now, sob sob.
I'm a little worried that my writing isn't improving. I just got the results back for my first assessment and I only achieved 73%. That's ok I guess, but it's the same as what I was getting in the easier course I did last year. I put everything into this assessment and I was hoping to do better. The things I got marked down on are things I know I suck at, like grammar and sentence structure. But surly I've been doing this long enough now to have at least improved a little!
I keep telling myself that there are some things people can do, and some things they can't. Obviously grammar is one of those things for me, but if I wana be a writer then I need to know how to do these things. I've read many books on the subject but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I know I can get an editor to correct these things for me, but I'm a perfectionist - if I can't do it myself I'll feel like a complete idiot. A writer who doesn't know how to write. Oh god :(
Did anyone else have these kinds of problems when they started out? Am I worrying about nothing? Should I just get on with it and let editors worry about the gibberish for me? I really don't wana be a writer who can't write :(
P.S - Has anyone else been having problems with blogger? The past few days I haven't been able to read blogs; the pages take ages to load then a bank page appears. It's only blogger that it happens on so it can't be me. It seems to be ok now but it's not perfect. Should I chuck my computer out the window? Yes? OK then, consider it done!
P.P.S - Argh friggedy frack, I managed to read a few blogs and now it's doing it again. Shit, I probably shouldn't have thrown the computer out the window!
