A Hell of a Blog or the Blog from Hell

 I know, I know. Everyone believes their blog is great and that they say profound and enlightening things when more than likely it is a toddler's rant, the 10th how to on an overdone subject, or a patch work of the current news headline (or that can just be me).

Well, truth is --- I may fall into all of the afore mentioned categories. But the workings of my mind - I believe - adds a little spice, a twist, a jolt, and a lot of Food for Thought.

I don't even try to be a 'Shock Jock.' Rush Limbaugh (R.I.P.) set that bar way too high, and I hate self-righteous Saints spouting angel dust and Jesus coated posts. So where do I fit into this blog-a-verse?

That's just it. I don't even begin to try to fit in. I love my own blog and think it is one hell of a blog.

I had a man call me some kind of Jesus sex freak because I wrote a post about Viagra. I was like Wow someone took the time to call me a sex freak. A first of many firsts yet to come in my writing career. The ability to offend is easier than falling off a log, little effort is required. Just write something, anything and BAM! Offense taken.

Of course, I have had people say 'Oh, I love your take on that topic. Great piece." And I am like Wow someone said I was a great piece. A first of many firsts yet to come in my writing career.

But the one thing I am most proud of is the fact that I do not sit in my underwear, in some Emo type room, dark and dank (I had to clarify Emo because since Covid I do sit in my underwear), using an anonymous name, being crude, rude, and lude. I like the Emo look. I just used that generalized group borrowing their dark coolness which is nothing like the Goths of my day. Sorry, but the Goths were only depressing, not engaging, and scary. I'm out of the loop and I'm not sure if Trolls, spun off of the Emo's or just festered into the people we came to loathe, or if they have their own look, but they are not cool.

But I digress. The point I wanted to make before going astray about underwear and trolls is, there are so many bloogers with great blogs on any topic you can imagine and they are informative, uplifting, inspirational, and some just for fun. The blogging community is supportive and encourage sharing of blogs just like authors do with fellow authors, bloggers, and writers.

That brings up the thing I am least proud of when blogging - not knowing what words are considered to be cool? Hip? Banging? Ab Fab? Crunk? Gucci? Fire? You get my drift. Hey, my target audience includes the twenty-somthings even though I believe I am failing miserably using their lingo. Well, hell, they don't even use their own lingo they use EMOJIS. 

One thing I keep in mind as I write on topics the timid would never touch is: "Wonder if this topic is going to send me straight to hell?" 

I wonder about this because I write about Christianity, Politics, Womanhood, Racism, and Uglyism. Yeah, I make up words as I see fit. I'm not as good as Snoop Dog, but I do alright.

Each new dawning of a new day I invite my Twitter followers and others at nauseum on Twitter to read my latest post, share, comment, retweet, and most of all I hit that more bang for your bucks writerslift. Facebook is not spared from being asked to come on over and have a gander at my blog on my Facebook page: Dorothy Guyton, author. I must admit my Facebook page is a no-man's-land. I have as of this date 112 followers. OUCH!! I also have a whopping 7 followers on my blog but a large number of readers. Hey, lemonade out of lemons people. I'll take that WIN.

Having viewers but not followers is like being told "It's not you. It's me. I've always had trouble committing." The rejection cliche no one ever wants to hear. but hey, I'll go along with it and agree it's you not me lol.

BUT, if you want to live on the edge with me; take some time and become one of my followers, tell a friend, list me as one of your favorite blogs on your blog page because

THIS IS ONE HELL OF A BLOG OR THE BLOG FROM HELL.
