The writing prompts are found here. I'm not allowed to be a participating member any more but I use them anyway occasionally.
What I find most difficult about blogging is the fact that I'm too honest about what I really am. I create new personas and try not to be quite so straight forward in the hopes that I'll attract an audience, but it never works. The real me always comes out. And that's never good.
I'll never be one of these people that has a hundred followers.
Hell, I'd be shocked if I ever had ten.
So the most challenging thing about blogging is the discovery that I'll never be good at it, or anything else.
And that I'm stupid enough to keep doing it anyway.

Not allowed? Did some give you a hard time? If they did let me know, so I can stop participating.
The nice thing about the internet is the equal opportunity. Everyone gets their say, whether they are famous or not.
This wasn't the case back in the time of traditional media and I don't miss it either.
It was mostly the comments on this post (other than those by Mastery Mistery, my characters, and myself) that made me realize I'd once again revealed too much about myself and had once again wandered into the wrong territory. It's like me and these people don't even come from the same planet! Then again, they probably wouldn't be very quick to invite, oh, Nikki Sixx or someone of that nature to one of their backyard barbecues, and I'd way rather hang out with him than them any day of the week.
I just get sick and tired of nothing working out and of being reminded time and again what a complete pariah I am. If it wasn't for the fact that it would literally destroy my son's chances at success and leave my fur-bearing friends without a home I would off myself because there is nothing of hope to be had at this juncture.
Ah bloggery - what keeps us coming is good!
Happy Fourth of July to You and all Yours!
Ugh...while I'm not familiar with the community you linked to for the prompts, I'm disgusted to hear you were made unwelcome simply for being yourself. I think it's all too common for us to be kicked to the curb for daring to have strong opinions and personalities, especially when they run counter to the dominant discourse.
I hope things are going a little better for you this week.
(And don't look now, but you just picked up a new follower...I, for one, adore a good strongly opinionated bipolar personality! It makes me feel less alone in the world.) :)
Thank you kindly, Mago. Even though it is not a holiday in Germany, I hope you had a good one!
Welcome, Natalie! Your comment made what has been a shit week a little better. :-)
