How many hours, on average, do you spend per day (or per week) on blogging-related activities? And, what do you think you might do with your time if you didn’t spend it on those blogging-related activities?
Answer:
I don’t allocate a fixed number of hours each day or week for blogging. Instead, I visit a few leading bloggers who share writing prompts and I respond to them. Sometimes, I make my own posts but these are under-visited except by those who search for keywords. My blog is a showcase of my developing skills. I wish I could showcase my art. I have not managed to say the same about my writing skills.
Without blogging, I would spend time on my art. I used to show my amateur art. My ideas were copied. Others gained mileage, exposure and sales, while my art languished because I lack exposure and a track record. I stopped showing my art on public platforms.
I would prefer to be pragmatic and receive ornaments in gold or silver. Even small jewellery items are worth something when accumulated in weight. If I ever had to sell my possessions for cash, I would dig into my stash and cash out for survival.
I have no plans for Valentine’s Day. I pray for resolution to my practical issues.
Writing prompt:
Fandango, at his blog, fivedotoh.com, has posed these questions about Valentine’s Day. It is a part of his regular blog post about Fandango’s Provocative Question #FPQ issue #108.
How do you feel about Valentine’s Day? Do you consider it to be a special day, one where you express your deep love and appreciation for your significant other? Or is it just a commercialized “Hallmark Holiday” where you feel pressured to spend money on cards, flowers, candy, jewelry, and/or expensive dinners in order to stay on the good side of the one you love? Either way, what, if anything, are your plans for Valentine’s Day this year?
I think February 14 celebrations are over-hyped.
