So yes as you all may know, I haven't wrote in some time now. I guess from leaving school, coming home, and feeling all alone in the world I just haven't felt up to par with this whole blog thing. And well from all the rude comments I get from all our readers, you all don't really care to listen to my stories. Here is what I have to say about all that, one if you want to make rude comments about me, go right ahead, but how about this time leave your name, I mean I go out on a limb to show everyone who I really am, and all you do is sit behind your computer and say rude things to me, its not funny it is only annoying. So man up and reveal yourself. THANKS! Next I want to say sorry that I don't have ridiculous things happen to me the way my best friend Morgan does. You see me and Morgan are two different people, she allows herself to be put in these situations , when I don't. And she should she is younger than me, and everything she is going through I have been through, well maybe not being forced into drinking liquid silver, or have an odd obsession with small garden friends. But that is why we work so well with each other, I am always there for her when the situations she is put into fail, or leave her face down in a toilet someone. And she knows that. So no matter what you say or how much you would prefer her stories over mine, this is OUR blog and I will keep writing until we both decide it is time for this relationship to be over, and i have a feeling that will be never. I promise to work more on the correct form of blogscript, even though a personal blog should be however we want it, but this blog isn't just for me and Morgan it is for every person reading to enjoy and relate to us in someway or another. I hope that there is someone out there who is able to see that the things I say aren't worthless, that they mean something, and that I am a person too, and words hurt me the way they hurt everyone, something I have learned in the past couple of years. So if you mean what you say, great, always stick by your words, but think before you speak, because the words that come out of your mouth may really hurt someone. I have seen plenty of girls who have always had that tough girl thing be broken down by the smallest of words, and like a good friend I will always be there to pick up the pieces.
Thanks, with love, Skylar
OK, this is a definite improvement over what you've written in the past. The problem isn't that you have nothing relevant to say, it's that the style in which you present it is extremely off-putting and makes a potential reader want to stay as far away from you as possible. It appears you're willing to work on that image though, which is a HUGE step in being not only a successful blogger, but a more approachable, engaging person.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I would suggest is to break up your entries into paragraphs. One reason Morgan's posts are preferable to read is simply that they're easier to read. This seems minor, but it's an easy and significant change to make.
The "THIS IS MY BLOG AND I CAN WRITE IT HOWEVER I WANT TO" attitude has got to go. This isn't Maury Povich. If you're going to put your words up for everyone to see, make them worth peoples' time and present an interesting idea or opinion in a clear manner- otherwise keep it confined to a diary entry.
Try to focus each entry on a few select points, giving each one a clear beginning and end. Stating an opinion without elaborating on how this affects you, or dragging on through a narrative that goes nowhere and makes no point are two ways to make readers quickly discredit you. It's perfectly OK to tell 3-4 littles stories in one post, or talk about several different things as long as you're giving proper context and focusing on how this relates to either you or the reader.
It is commendable that you're willing to put yourself out there in the form of this blog, and you definitely have interesting things to say! You just need to calm yourself a bit, realize that criticism is a necessary facet of the medium and take it with a grain of salt, and work on creating engaging content that will make people return to hear what you have to say. Keep blogging and good luck!
Don't attack Morgan as a defense mechanism. Her age is irrelevant, especially since she's been in college longer than you have. If I were her, I'd be extremely offended at not only your comments about how you know more than her, but also your comments about her putting herself in awkward situations whereas you do not. It seems like you think you're above her, which is rude.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advice I will really try and make my blogs more enjoyable for all. I was never trying to be rude or put people off I just wanted to do this with my best friend! And just because she has been in college longer than I have does not mean she has more life experience and I think she would agree. Morgan is a very smart girl and I am not saying that she puts her self in awkward situations it is just that Morgan doesnt know how to deal with some things especially when it comes to boys and I am not the only one who has given her advice on that. I am not saying she is a dumb girl, who knows nothing about the world she is just less experienced when it comes to alot of social things and she would agree with me. I love Morgan and by no means do I believe I am above her if anything I put her above me, that is how I am. I would do anything for her, I try and protect her any chance I get and that will never change. I look at her as a younger sister and any advice I am able to give I will. I love her. I would never attack Morgan. And she is younger so the experiences I have had she hasnt, or she did at a later time. That is why she asks my opinion. There are things that Morgan has went through that I havent and when it comes to those things I ask for her advice. Dont say I use Morgan as a defense mechanism, because you do not know our friendship, we have a very open one and if we didnt our friendship would no be as tight as it is. Thank again to the first person it makes me feel so good knowing that you dont just hate me! Keep reading guys.

Okayyyy. I think all of this has turned into a big misunderstanding. Whether or not you agree with her comments or not, the fact of the matter is that Skylar and I are very different people and live very different lives. We have different priorities and by consequence have a lot of different experiences under are belt. By no means is one route better than another; that's not what Skylar meant at all. No hard feelings!! I'm quite pleased with my social life, as is Skylar with hers. They're different and that isn't a bad thing! I'd like to think we learn from other's experiences, irregardless of age. :)

I agree with Morgan we live different lives and that is one great thing about our friendship! We have different experiences to tell the other about and that is all I meant by it! Thanks for reading and having an opinion guys!

I don't know if you're referring to me or Skylar, but that isn't very nice at all. I promise neither os us are ever intentionally fake. :( We're glad you read this though!!

Actually I'm a Pisces so my animal is actually a fish! Good try though!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSkylar
Right. whale.
ReplyDeleteSkylar is not a whale or a cow! You are just so concerned with her life aren't you! Back off she is a great girl and one of my really good friends! I bet you are the cow or the whale! She obviously rejected your friendship and that is why you hate her so much. I am sure it doesn't bother her because you are still reading and still concerned about what she is doing. How about you get a hobby other than wanting to be her! I love you Skylar!
