Questions about apps: Reddit

Writer of Words, etc

I have a question: who uses Reddit regularly? I noticed you can sign in with your google account, so I did. I have only dabbled in reddit occasionally in the past half year or so and find it a little…cluttered? Opinionated without much fact-checking? Trendy? Something like that… I can’t quite describe it accurately. I don’t know if I’m interested enough in using this app as a go-to source. Should I? Or not? Definition Reddit describes itself as the front page of the internet. Wikipedia has a longer, wordier definition and describes reddit as a social news aggregation, web content … Continue reading Questions about apps: Reddit

Clandestine honesty

Writer of Words, etc

Those of you who have read here a while know that I’m a little bit…different.

Let’s go with that. 🙃

Here is something about me though that most of you probably will not dispute: I am nothing if not creative.

As I continue to write my stories, and edit my stories, and proofread my stories, and finish my stories, and begin new stories, I realized something.

I need some personal experience to supplement some of my creativity. And this is the reason why I started a bit of an unusual experiment a couple of weeks ago.

Really unusual.

The cabin question

Writer of Words, etc

I saw a cabin like this somewhere on social media a couple of weeks ago.

It was a meme, of sorts. It went something like this (I’m paraphrasing):

My initial answer was an immediate HELL YES. 🙂

One month? I have food, water and warmth? Who cares about the internet or tv…

And then, I read the comments on that thread. 😲

About those drafts (you asked, I answered) (sorry not sorry)

Writer of Words, etc

It appears that most of you are fascinated by my draft folder I mentioned in yesterday’s post. The one that contains 557 unfinished thoughts, as someone put it.

I don’t know if I’m the weirdo, or you guys are! 😂

WordPress shenanigans

Writer of Words, etc

This morning, I received a couple of emails, one from the USA and one from Belgium. USA was thanking me for following him. I responded “I thought I was following you all along, I don’t know why I was unfollowed”. I wondered why I wasn’t seeing his art in my feed, so I went to the blog and it said ‘follow’ instead of ‘following”. Weird. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me, I was unfollowed a couple of other bloggers in recent times, including ashleyleia. (Why? I don’t get it…) Belgium wanted to know if something was … Continue reading WordPress shenanigans
