Being made fun of....hmmmm. Not usually a pleasant experience, but if we're lucky we can find the humor and poke fun at ourselves. A while back I had a gathering of friends at my home. We were all gathered in the kitchen as usual and I'm sure a bit of wine or other spirits had been passed. I remember standing at the stove, preparing some culinary masterpiece , I'm sure and probably talking trash about politics or the state of the world in general, when one of my friends remarked , "You certainly are sarcastic." I stopped everything...turned to my friend and said, "Sarcastic! Who, me?" The entire room burst out laughing for evidently they had come to the conclusion quite some time ago that I treated most people and things in a very sarcastic manner. I was the only one surprised but upon consideration had to agree. I'm trying to be better but it's become second nature to me, so it's a struggle. Long story, and all that...now whenever the word is mentioned, we all say, "Who, me?"
On a different subject, altogether...it has been suggested that a writer's blog contain more varied and interesting things than just little brags and blurbs about writing. Recipes, photos, craft instructions, games, links, etc. Anyone have an opinion on that. Of course, I want people to be interested enough to come back but how do these things pertain to the craft of writing? Should there somehow be a connection? How would one accomplish this?
