I received a rejection letter yesterday from a blog referral site. They said I hadn't been here enough for them to put my link on their site. There are no hard feelings. I know it's true. Only twice last month and once so far this month. Bad me. Bad, bad me.
Part of that is because I've been crazy-busy getting ready to be an author-type person.
The other, I have to admit, is really lame. But here it goes, true confessions. I read a comic strip a while back that referred to bloggers as narcissists. Now, I'm not usually one to care what others think of me. Obviously. I'd probably do my hair and makeup every day if did. Maybe even buy new clothes every once in a while instead of wearing my daughter's rejects. I'd definitely work on reducing my embarrassing moments quotient. But the word narcissist struck a chord with me - a sour one. I won't go into detail about why, but I have good reason.
So every time I've started to blog since then, I've decided that whatever I have to say about ME! ME! ME! just isn't all that important. Because, hey, I AM NO NARCISSIST!
So I'll try to get over this phobia and be better about keeping the blog up-to-date. If there's anything worse than being called a narcissist, it would have to be getting rejected. Because that means somebody doesn't love me! And they have to love me! Please, please, please love me!
See? I am sooo not a narcissist.

Blog, smog! You got rejected for a blog BUT NOT A BOOK!!
Thanks Taffy - it's good to know somebody love me! =)
IMHO, Most bloggers overpost. A good writer is a lot more deliberative with their words.
PS: I dropped a link to you on the Salt Lake Sites blog list.
Aw shucks, I like that. I'm not neglectful, I'm deliberative. Thanks for the link - I'll return the favor and enter you in my contest (don't know if you were entering on purpose, but it counts.)
