OMG! What have I done? I have committed myself to joining the John Thornhill MasterClass Blog Carnival and now the nerves have starting to click in.
This will be the first time I have participated in a Blog Carnival.
I need to write a Blog Post 200-400 words long on the subject of “Passionate, focused thinking” and submit a link to my post, together with a summary a few sentences long, to the organizers by 20th April (6 days away).
Will my Post be returned to me covered with so many red ink corrections it will be impossible to tell the color of the paper? Will it have the cryptic comments “Pathetic effort. Could do better. Don’t bother submitting again” scribbled across the bottom? Will my dream of one day becoming a pro-blogger be smashed before I have even begun?
Hmm… word count seems important… perhaps I had better find my abacus and dust off it’s beads as I don’t want to be rejected due to a technicality.
I wonder what the other participants will be like. Some of them are quite experienced bloggers and will, I guess, be able to conjure up quite articulate and elegant Blog Posts. Will my simple little blog posts look childish and amateurish in comparison?
Will the Blog Posts of the other participants be so technical that I won’t be able to think of any intelligent sounding comments to leave on their blogs?
I wonder if anyone will bother to visit my little blog and leave any comments or will I end up with just a couple of 2 word “nice blog” comments left by spammers?
Perhaps I am not ready to participate in a Blog Carnival yet.
But, hey, it sounds a fun way to interact with, and meet, other bloggers.
Perhaps I will give it a try after all.
OK. I had better get down to writing my Blog Post.
Stay tuned to read about my progress…
Ian.
