GUYS!! TODAY WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT BLOGGING!!! Over the past year I've had a ton of people ask various and sundry questions about the craft, and, well... this is where the wicked glint comes into my eyes, and things devolve into ominous cackling. Am I qualified to write this post? Have I been blogging for [...]
I think we’ve had enough of it plastered across every headline, conversation, text message, social media post, blog post, lamppost, fencepost, whipping post, and every other post in existence. Friends, I come bearing glad tidings of joy in these troubled times: Believe it or not, I am one of those rare people who actually knows [...]
*crashes into your Friday with flashing lights and heaps of blogging glitter* GUYS. The Sarcastic Elf is two years old. *freaks out* Yes, you read that correctly -- it's been 730 days since I flung myself headlong into the bottomless pit known as "blogging." 730 days since clueless, wide-eyed, 15-year-old Sarah was swallowed by her [...]
Humanity doesn’t appreciate lies. I don’t care what the philosophers say. This, to me, is a fact. And unless you’re some weird-psycho-alien-thing, I’m going to assume that you don’t like them either. I certainly don’t. I don’t particularly enjoy telling them either, so I feel the need to have a brief moment of honesty and [...]
Newsflash: I'm not on top of things. I know, I know, that's such a shock. [insert disinterest blinking here] Seeing as I'm not on top of things, this week found me scrambling last minute to provide something interesting to post about. (Which, at this point, isn't much of a rarity.) So I sat down and [...]
Believe it or not, I had something really epic planned for my return to blogging. #NailedIt #Not Yeah, yeah. Hello to you too. I'm late. Whoops. If it's any consolation, I missed you guys during my hiatus. And I'm sure you missed me too, right? *crazed eyeballs* Right? Sadly, my return can't be punctuated with [...]
Good afternoon, my minions. You may remember that a couple weeks back, I did a survey about my blog. For scientific purposes. Many of you have expressed an interest in seeing the results, and I've decided that it's in my best interest to heed you. The time has drawn nigh: Welcome, ladies and gents, to [...]
Hullo, my people. I don't have much for you today. However, I have been toying with minor improvements to my blog and such, and I find that I want your advice. Yeah. I want an opinion besides my own. This is a monumental occasion. ANYWAY. I actually am curious about what you ducklings have to [...]
Guys. One year ago today, I clicked a little blue button that said 'publish' for the first time. I watched the loading screen swirl at me like a judgemental little... swirly thing. I held my breath. And then, it was there. My writing. On the screen. On the internet, for all eyes to see. I [...]
I almost didn't publish something today. Hang on, hang on, there's a reason. (There always is...) This wasn't just me being lazy and furtively ignoring my blogging accountability partner. (Which I would *cough* NEVER *cough cough* do... *choke*) The reason I almost didn't post today is ACTUALLY because of you guys. Yep. It's YOUR fault. [...]
