Blogging

It's great to hear from old friends, as i did today. you never really forget them. The world of blogging is like that and i don't really see it changing to be honest. Bloggers, the world over, share the same thought processes and you often have an affinity with them. They go through the same things as you do. Even though they are miles away, a community spirit develops between you and your readers. Often, you are the reader and you sit there in bewilderment as the story you are reading unfolds before you.

it becomes a regular event and is often like reading a novel. Unlike a novel you can leave a comment for the writer to read. It is this interraction which leads to mutual respect. You can meet your readers, which doesn't happen with a book. They can read your stories too. I'm sure that many writers of books start here. You have to be talented to write something that people pay to read, but it's not out of the question. It can be done. To become popular can take many years of hard work to achieve. Some bloggers don't want to put so much effort into it. It all depends what you want from blogging.

writing a successful blog can depend on what you write about. Maybe you want to write about the things you're interested in. That, in itself, can get you plenty of readers. Writing a blog can be very frustrating and there are lots of blogs that have been abandoned. At the end of the day you must have a passion to get readers wanting to read what you've written.

Donald Trump

if there's one thing I can't stand at the moment it's American politics.
Donald Trump won the election fair and square, but his Presidency is being disputed by an angry mob  who believe if they shout loud enough they will get their own way. Has no-one told them it doesn't work like that? If you want to live in a democracy you have to accept the decision of the people who voted. If the people of America stood united with the winner there's so much more they could achieve than if they were standing divided.

Trump has had a great start to his Presidency and has done so much. He's not a politician and that's a good thing. Politicians have had their go and left America wishing they hadn't bothered with them. For so long now he's been on the outside looking in. Now he's taken charge and doing what he said he would do to make America great again. The mob who oppose him are just bigots who want him to fail. Madonna is one such person. She's obviously got a few records to sell.

Personally, I don't get involved with American politics and it's easy to see why. There's too much hate and bitterness for my liking. Donald Trump isn't exactly politically correct in his approach and he's made enemies with the many Americans who are. People who put political correctness above everything else expect everybody to be like them and it doesn't work. America is the most politicaly correct country on the planet. They really need to toughen up and realise how hard it is out there.

Whether you like him or not, Donald Trump will fight tooth and nail to make sure America always gets the best deal on the table. He doesn't need to work again, but he does. He's proud to be an American and slowly, but surely he is gaining the trust of most Americans and making them a strong nation again. Politicians as inspiational leaders? Repeat after me (to see that they're not) Tony Blair.

I don’t know a lot of things and my memory has seen better times.  We can’t know everything that is going to happen, but everything does fo...
