Things This Blogger Has Yet To Say

So I read the blogs… all of the blogs. OK maybe not all the blogs but I do read a lot of blogs on the reg.  I have come to realize there are some things that the most successful bloggers say.  One day I will have the opportunity to use many of these phrases that have not left my lips and I will try not to say. 

My inbox is so full of emails from comments my readers made.

Honesty time, I love it when I check my blog email and I have two new comments.  I love it when my post gets more than five comments a day.  It is just so hard to keep up with all these adoring fans!  Just kidding.  I hope that if I am fortunate enough to get more readers and more people commenting.  I also hope that if that happens I remember how much I value them and I spend a lot of time communicating with them.  If you have not read Erin's post about Helene and her ability to do this exact thing, go over and read it on Living In Yellow. 

My boyfriend, husband, life partner, takes all my photos

Believe it or not but all my stunning photos come to you because I am an awkward human being who asks everyone around if they will take a picture of me.  I act all confident and proud.  When people ask me why they are taking my photo I tell them the truth.  I am an Internet model.  Which makes blogging sound a lot fancier.  I actually tell them it is for my blog.  I am pretty sure they either think I am a big deal or that I have an inflated sense of self.  Either way it is great. 

This was a really awkward photo a student took for me.  I am pretty sure you can see the fear in my eyes.

I get so much free stuff from small business and corporate America 

I mean how cool is it when one of the ladies here is sporting a new necklace or cute dress that they got for free because they are promoting that business.  I am not going to lie, I would totally be down of this.  I would even get a boyfriend to take photos of me in the stuff for my blog and go back on my number one saying. 

Blogging has lost it's meaning 

On Monday I wrote about why I love blogging.  If I get too caught up in my boyfriend taking photos of me for sponsored posts I hope he will tell me that I have lost my focus. 

Blogland 

This phrase makes my skin crawl.  It bothers me and I am not sure why. 

There is so much negative things written about me and/ or my blog 

I know that there rare a lot of negative things in the world.  I know that there are people who would rather spend their time tearing apart a post and being mean.  I do not invest my time in looking for those websites or those people. I am not trying to say that I actually think my blog is big enough to have negative things written.  I am just trying to say I have no idea about any of it.  Also I am very sorry if people have said mean things to you or about your blog.   And please remember hurting people hurt people, for real. 

All this sponsorship stuff is overwhelming

I actually can see how sponsorships can be overwhelming and if a blog takes on too much I can see how things can fall through the cracks.  I hope if I grow this blog a little more and have paying sponsors I can find what is right for my blog and my time.  I also hope that I can value those who would choose to invest in my blog and me.  If you want to sponsor So Much Sunshine you can click here.  

No one in my real life knows about my blog 

First, I have to know how you pulled this one off.  I am such a blabber mouth that I tell anyone about my blog if we have known each other for at least a few days.  It just comes up.  If I learned something from a blog I will say, "Hey I read this cool blog and this girl from ______________ wrote about ___________________.  You should totally try it."

Second, I like to have my life be on the same page no matter what setting I am in.  I am such a bad liar, sometimes, that I would be on constant paranoia if I had a secret blog.  

Third, I somewhat commend those secret bloggers because they can really let a lot out.  I am glad that my friends and family know about So Much Sunshine.  It helps keeps me aware of my writing and helps me do a better job of expressing myself in a clear and agreeable way. 

That is all I got today.  Thank you to anyone out there who reads this little blog and thank you for your kind words and support!  I really am so appreciative of you.
