A Day In a Blogger's Life- Part One
6:00- Rise and shine. Morning yoga to prepare for blogging.
7:00- Breakfast. Protein shake breakfast with raw eggs, to give that extra energy that blogging requires.
7:15- Check blog stats. Subscriber number is down. Shake head and wonder why, oh why are subscribers so fickle?
7:16 Become hellbent on determining what subscribers really want. Check out dogpile's searchspy to see what people are searching for.
Search reveals following:
Jessica Simpson
free movies
Cat's in the Cradle drug reference
cheat codes for Grand Theft Auto 4
make your own Easter cards
natural attic insulation
What rhymes with orange
youporn
7:30 Decide to write a post with the terms Jessica Simpson, free movies, Cat's in the Cradle drug reference, cheat codes for Grand Theft Auto 4, make your own Easter cards, natural attic insulation, what rhymes with orange and youporn liberally sprinkled throughout in an effort to attract more traffic to blog. Briefly consider your integrity, then abandon it and get down to writing.
7:32 Call in sick to work. Blogging is more important and soon, when you are discovered, you will not need a day job anymore. This can only happen if you devote more time to writing.
7:35 Realize that there is no rhyme for "orange." Feel dejected. Sadly realize that this post is going to be harder than you think.
7:40 Read other people's blogs to see what they are writing about. Follow links until you are deep into internet land. Come to sudden and sober realization that you have spent almost one full hour playing kitten wars.
10:50 Break time. Enjoy a cup of your homemade chai. Fantasize about your own chai beverage line of products with catch phrase, "Better than the crap you are drinking." Calculate money to be made from t-shirt sales alone.
11:15 Start thinking about lunch

12:00 Think about eating lunch. Realize you have absolutely NOTHING to eat in the house. Call friends to find out what's in THEIR refrigerators.
12:30 Arrive at friend's house to raid their refrigerator and chat with them to get new blog ideas.
1:00 Decide there's nothing worth writing about so break out a bottle of wine in the hope that it will provide inspiration.
2:00 After a hearty lunch and too much wine, decide to take a nap in the hope of dreaming something that might be worth writing about.
Dear Larew,
You just wrote part two for me. How did you know?

You are really good. Guess I'm going to have to bookmark you.
Daniel,
Thank you very much for your kind comment and the bookmark. You made my day.

P.S. It wasn't a very good day, so the bar was pretty low, but still...
Thanks for introducing me to kitten wars!
Dear Adam,
Now I know what you will be doing with your next hour.
