Everyone that I've shown your blog has laughed their ASS off.<br /><br />You. Are. HILARIOUS.<br /><br />And part of the reason is you're so much like ME. This post: ME. <br /><br />I don't get into all your shenanigans, but there's something about you so REAL and UTTERLY *LIKABLE*. You are a GEM, and since first reading your blog, I have promised myself that I will read every single one of your blogs. Sure, some are better than others, but each of them have that sweet silliness that I find completely irresistible, and it keeps bringing me back. <br /><br />While many of your posts are hilariously self depreciatory (and I absolutely love them!), posts like this, where you reveal your insecurities with a more vulnerable tone (though still quite humorous), make me respect you and your comedic genius that much more. <br /><br />Being as I've written this response almost a year after you wrote it, I know that you've obviously continued writing, but I hope that you *never* stop. :DLifecolorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602001225282188083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-88187398506313435752010-04-08T17:03:09.570-06:002010-04-08T17:03:09.570-06:00So, I'm definitely posting this really late, b...So, I'm definitely posting this really late, but I've been reading your entire archive from the start and I love your blog!<br /><br />Also, I started reading a day ago, first from the beginning and then I changed my mind and started from the beginning... but yeah, you're great!Clarissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-63560847470910578532009-10-23T13:51:46.238-06:002009-10-23T13:51:46.238-06:00Want to feel better?

Considering how fast your blog is growing (since I've found your blog a few weeks ago, I already know a handful of my followers that are now following you), you're not going to have anything to worry about.<br /><br />YOu don't have to necessarily ask for money, just start marketing yourself. You're not just a blogger, you're a writer.

And I think you'd be a great...uh...professional blogger. <br /><br />From a reader's point of view, here's the one thing that I can tell you would make me stop reading, cause I've seen it happen with other blogs: Just...don't go down the desperate "How many people read this followers read my blog followers I need followers followers followers" route. I've seen with quite a few bloggers---like, it gets mentioned EVERY post, and it makes them look like they're not blogging for fun or because they love it at all, but just to get this mysterious Number go up, and up. And it's wicked lame.<br /><br />I don't think will happen here, though.

Like I'll say, "Hey, if you see our server, will you flag them down, I need more beverage" (I usually say this with a pout), and then I will stuff my face so that when the server finally does come over, I have a full mouth so my eating buddy has to order me another beverage and I don't have to speak. You are so not alone. Speaking as someone whose insecurities are almost crippling, I understand what you are going through. <br /><br />You are one of my favorite bloggers, top 2 and that's because I'm such a huge fan of both I can't pick a first and second place.<br /><br />You make people laugh and you write really well. I’m not talking just about what you say; I’m talking about the structure of your writing. <br /><br />I say make money from your blog. From the looks of it you have some serious support. You want to have an income and you’re good a blogging. Make the money whatever way you can.

Having known many an insecure and low-self-...Heyo,<br /><br />Having known many an insecure and low-self-esteem person (and having, at points in my life, been one) - shit sucks! It's good that you have a constructive way to deal with it - writing about it in a humorous way.<br /><br />And it's obvious that your writing is attracting quite a bit of attention. If people pass your blog by word of mouth to other people - and you get a heap of visitors every day - well, it stands to reason that eventually you will have an awful lot of people reading!<br /><br />I'm not sure exactly what the reasons for your joblessness are (besides, well, the fact that you're in Missoula and that the economic situation could be summed up by one big frowny face) BUT I am aware that quite a few people have made it on the internet on the virtue of their writing.<br /><br />Set up a donation link on Paypal, maybe, and see what happens. It is my solemn guarantee that no one will think ill of it. Nope. You're not allowed to doubt. It's guaranteed!<br /><br />I hope it works out for the best.<br /><br />(ps: are you still running?)juosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489465135079559867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-86603617683784269042009-10-16T17:41:31.570-06:002009-10-16T17:41:31.570-06:00Allie, I know exactly what you're saying.

FB fan site time, baby.<br />And twitter.<br />And also, possibly, you should consider maybe talking to people just as funny as you who do make a living (The Bloggess?) doing this.<br />And then you should start writing blog-post-length comments, because all awesome people do.<br />/crappy advice from someone who doesn't do any of the above.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322539753627427466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643741973264866223.post-33777359050230337932009-10-16T16:55:38.719-06:002009-10-16T16:55:38.719-06:00Seriously, is it a woman thing??

But at least I can say stuff like "I knew her in the early days before she became a celebrity and named her children after all the states and used money for toilet paper" etc.<br /><br />As an athlete, you must be used to setting targets so why should you not apply the same to your blog? Use that single-mindedness to your advantage, go into the win zone, achieve your personal best.<br /><br />Would I pay to read you? Yes.<br /><br />In fact you are perhaps one of only two bloggers that I've come across that I would. And I've read hundreds of them. <br /><br />Can I make a suggestion?
