I lost a follower today and though I have no idea who it is, I worry that I haven't dropped by enough (or at all??), haven't been a good blogger. I should be more like you and not worry so much what people think. And then I find out that people who don't worry about what people think still have people that make them worry about what they think about them. Hmmmm... did that make sense?

I haven't been blogging as long as you but I already feel the panic well up inside me when a good blogging buddy reads my work as opposed to a "stranger." Sometimes I think if I ever publish my book, I'll do it without telling anyone and under a different pen name! And I agree with comments above, smartass EJ needs to come out and play sometimes.

I ...lol.. you're just like the rest of us then. I think most of us are fun loving smartasses except, as writer who have to be mindful of our online behavior, we keep it on the DL. Ya just never know who you're gonna offend. <br />And since this group is so diverse, with writers of all levels, there's no one off limits. So we'll allow you to stay. lololol couldn't resist. Truth is we all feel like imposters at time. Twitter felt like that for while for me, til I found the real writer peeps who didn't overlook others just cuz they had a bookdeal or some such nonsense. Who cares about that. If you don't have friends to celebrate with, then none of that matters anyway. <br />Okay so I think I'm getting off topic now, but point is, you're a darn good writer and you bet your arse this is where you should be. Posting alongside us every month.

Sometimes I think it would be better to let the sarcasm out of the bag, but it's not that I'm suppressing it so much as just trying to put together a reasonable piece that ends up losing the sarcasm. And, yes, I can be quite blunt, too. I'd rather do it this way than be one of the people I've run into (not in the blogging world) who are nasty online, but apparently quite nice in person. <br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a>Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000518581959626200.post-736724661445821812012-12-06T01:03:49.466-06:002012-12-06T01:03:49.466-06:00I'm the same way!
