Every time there is a ruckus on my blog–a vegan moralist, a “mad cannibalist” a “you’re fake”, and so forth–I gain about 50 readers.
Every time I go offline for a few days I gain about thirty, only to lose them as soon as I open my mouth again.
So how does this work? People love me when I attack, but hate it when I speak? Who are these ninnies? Why come and go?
These social dynamics make no sense.
Simple. These temp followers like internet drama. Once it turns that the drama is intelligentl discourse, they get bored and leave to troll reddit or something.
My theory anyway.
No no no…you misunderstand.
The 50 I gain during drama, I keep. It’s the thirty I gain when I’m silent that I lose.
That’s very odd. Maybe they just like your asthetic rather than your actual personality? If that’s the case, I don’t understand why. You’re well spoken and compassionate so like *shrug*
God help the man who prefers aesthetic to personality.
But that begs the question, what is your blog’s ‘aesthetic’? One of the appeals of your blog is that it is mostly conversational and personal. Not nearly enough photos to have a real visual theme, in my opinion.
English is composed of many tongues: Latin, French, German, Frisian, Anglo, Saxon, Britain, Welsh and Scotch and Irish Gaelic. And with each of these languages, multiple infusions at various times–which French? The Norman French, or the French from when the Anglos or Saxons returned. Which German? German from the first or second time the Vikings put down roots.
There are no rules. And now English confronts global language and sucks in all other languages as it pleases. Which is why I like it so well.
No rules. Spelling? That’s just an illusion that there is normalcy. The first dictionary of English is fairly new, and you’d likely disagree with half the spellings. English purged a dozen letters from the alphabet.
None of it makes any sensed!
Unless you know where it came from and why which rule applies to it at any given time.
So don’t bother with spellings. Bother with etymology. From etymology, the standardization will make sense and so will pronunciation. Learn the root first. Trust me.
If you wanted to read my first book but haven’t had a chance to do so (for free)
You will.
I will alert you via my website, as that seems easiest, so if you wish to be alerted to this, please go to my website: creaturescookbook.com and enter yourself on my mailing list to the right there. I’ll send out a notification.
It will happen very soon, and all you need is a kindle app or kindle device.
If you’re looking for a very good read, I’d sign up. Simon’s book is lengthy, but I stayed up late several nights in a row pretty much chugging it. They are a fantastic story teller, and while the novel isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s the best read I’ve had in a long time.
You undo me, friend.
But you see…that’s the beauty of this new version.
It’s to be republished in its original format—cut into four segments, each about half the size of a novel.
