I have been informed by my dear friend Whitney that I suck at blogging. No that's not what she said but the general meaning was there, haha. I do admit this is true. Beyond posting a new blog post and then sharing it on my Facebook, I'm not a big blogging guru. Apparently there is much to learn. So now, if you look at my lovely blog (which by the way I am proud that I figured out how to customize it at least a little) there are some changes you can take advantage of. Above ↑ you will see a little bar below my lovely picture heading with "Email" in it. If you submit your email address there you will receive my blog posts to your email. Over to the right → you will see this little like three line design followed by "posts" and "comments". If you click those, my blog will be added to your collection of blogs or other things you are following, if you are techy like that. WAY down at the bottom ↓ you can share my blog on Facebook or Twitter.
So hopefully that helps get my blog out there a little more. Not that there is anything of great importance on here as I am mostly writing it for myself and I'm not sure how many people read it. But if you do read it you can now choose different ways to be notified of my various posts. That being said I do promise to post more often. When I get busy and stressed I only tend to want to do bitchy posts. Then I feel like I'm just complaining and I don't really need to cement it in words. But this is supposed to be a reflection of my life and sometimes in life I get bitchy and complain. I guess anyone reading this will just have to handle that. I do want to try to have more of a presence.
In my heart I am a dog trainer but I am also a writer. I do write quite frequently but mostly keep it to myself. I've been writing since I learned how to read and write, which came later in life than most people. I have a pretty good case of dyslexia. Dyslexia means I have a hard time reading or doing other activities such as math because decipher I symbols differently. Basically I learn differently than everyone else. So when I was in elementary school the teachers didn't know how to teach me and I wasn't learning anything. They told my mom that I was just stupid. Luckily my mom knew something else was going on and took me to get all this testing done and soon found out I was dyslexic. After a couple of years of tutoring I was reading at a college level and able to work around being dyslexic. I still struggle with some things, like my spelling or with math, but dyslexia didn't stop me from a love of reading and writing. Heck I have a degree in English Literature with a focus on Creative Writing.
So coming back from that tangent, I love writing. I have been writing since I knew how and have several pieces of poetry published. In high school I took three times as many English and writing courses than was needed. I also kept a blog that I recently reopened and looked at. I was really open and honest in that blog. Though before you ask, no I will not be sharing the link with you. I downloaded the whole thing and plan on going back through it and rereading it. In knowing who you are, I think it is important to remember who you were. Doesn't mean you have to keep being that person but you should at least acknowledge life experiences. So, though I may not want to share all my teenage angst with you, I probably will pull bits out here and there.
In the spirit of blogging and writing more I will make the effort to at least post something everyday. I get caught up in these silly rules like "I can't post more than one post a day" and "If I'm going to bother posting it has to be something of substance". Bah. I don't think the blogging world has such rules, which is one of the reasons I so enjoy it. So I will move the Blogger App on my phone to the front and do more blogging in general. Yes, there is an app for that.
I really want to start writing about dogs/dog training and all that good stuff that I am passionate about so maybe in the next couple of weeks I will be starting a second blog to do that. Whitney will have to help me set that one up so that it is SUPER cool and advertised. Oh yeah.
Rambling post but there you have it. Should probably find time to do some work between all the blogging I am going to do.
