I think sometimes we spend so much time apologizing, that it becomes a habit. And then we find ourselves habitually apologizing to ourselves, which can be problematic.<br /><br />~ZabrinahZabrinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104827164689352857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282953557162980573.post-62376637207935100322013-05-14T22:02:12.651-07:002013-05-14T22:02:12.651-07:00I'm much older than you so what I'm going ...I'm much older than you so what I'm going to say comes from years of experience and from having children of my own.

I think you'...I admire you for your persistence. I think you're right. The key is to not give up. <br /><br />Or, like Charles Bukowski says: "If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282953557162980573.post-11979981342664498362012-03-06T08:01:49.960-08:002012-03-06T08:01:49.960-08:00Aww good luck balancing both!Aww good luck balancing both!Miss Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758016594265555571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282953557162980573.post-41937763643453712492012-03-04T03:22:27.835-08:002012-03-04T03:22:27.835-08:00As you get used to the new job you'll be able ...As you get used to the new job you'll be able to work around it.

I don't think everyone benefits from guest posts because many times one doesn't necessarily gain readers from the post etc. However, if you have the same sort of audience, then they can be very good to do. I have guest posted for people, but many times it's something I might not use on my blog, again making it so people clicking through to my blog might not always stick around. So it can be beneficial, for sure, if you match up well. Just make sure if you are guest blogging, it's at a place where you each match well! <br /><br />A 'lil HooHaa: http://www.hoohaablog.comP.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15815590239221574310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282953557162980573.post-13836108376271236522012-02-20T13:21:34.923-08:002012-02-20T13:21:34.923-08:00I've done guest posts in the past, and have le...I've done guest posts in the past, and have let 2-3 people guest post on my blog as well.

I've done two guest posts in the past, both were poetry that I just didn't want to publish myself. That is one reason why I was so nervous about it, how they would be taken. Which was the main reason I didn't want to put them on my own blog. I don't know if it's won me followers or forged a stronger friendship, but I won't deny it was kind of fun.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118816573712396453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282953557162980573.post-37281353646544552982012-02-16T11:58:40.450-08:002012-02-16T11:58:40.450-08:00Kyla, are you OK?
