Thinking Of Some Changes...

Here's a thought I am currently toying with: 

My husband had a suggestion from the son of the owner of the dairy he works on...  Have a different daily theme. 

A good idea but not one that would make too much of a difference in my blogs so I thought I'd modify it a little and do weekly themes. 

One week devoted to stories, the next week inclined to poetry, the week following given to stray or barn cats and so on. Certainly it would give more of a focus and direction to my blog. There are dozens of different types of content available for an idea like this, from cat trees to cat collars but I want to include more exclusive or unusual content as well. The net is littered with recipes and cat/kitten care so I want to canvass other content like stories and advice from my readers and visitors if any of you are interested in sharing. Unusual pictures, etc.

Given this change in my blogging habits, you can expect a new blog topic to be posted every Sunday. This means there will be two blogs from now on, on Sundays.

For anyone who has a story or picture, a poem or a website to share, please send it to my email address at catspaw04@gmail.com. It will be greatly appreciated and you can find this address on the top right side panel of my blog from now on to contact me directly. 

Here's to creating a different type of blog with fresh new and unusual content! With your help, we can do it together. I look forward to hearing from you, my readers and visitors. Please keep in mind that all content I receive will be carefully presented and no personal information will be shared unless authorized by the reader or visitor who shared it.

Hello and Welcome To My 100th Blog!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening...

...to all my readers and visitors. This is a very special blog because its my One Hundredth. Since the beginning, when I first started on January 22nd of 2012, I have been mixing things up with a variety of offerings. Most of them are about cats, with a few that are off-topic. So I thought I'd share a little more about who I am and why I'm doing this everyday. I know from cruising the net that not all bloggers post a daily entry; I do because some of my readers have told me they like coming to my blog for that very reason. This blog has also become an important creative venue for me over the past, almost three months, and I enjoy it very much. 

Who I am! I'm a writer and not just any writer. One of my strengths seems to be writing descriptive stories. I say 'seems to be' because I am still exploring my writing style. If you've been following my blogs, I began a story the week before introducing it on February 24th, 2012; Sailor and the Ruined Castle. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, I can tell you its worth more than that! The most interesting aspect of this story is its inception, I am writing it based completely on pictures I find on the net. The story writes itself from there. I'm not one of those sit-in-front-of-a-blank-paper writers; I let the picture inspire the story and follow it from there and each picture inspires the direction the story takes. I also have journals that date back to the 1980's, full of stories and poetry that I go back to every now and again. 

Why do I blog everyday? Its my favorite creative outlet for my story and for everything else I like to share with you, my readers. One reader told me she likes the fact that I post every single day; another said she comes back because there is always new and different content. I like variety myself and loads of pictures so that is what I use for the base of all my blogs. Since I will only settle for original, written~personally~by~me content; while I will take an idea from a different web page I will also rewrite it my own words, keeping the original content and context, intact. I don't mislead my readers and visitors. I also love to hear comments about what I am offering to as to gauge the relevance of my content. 

So, H~A~P~P~Y 100th Blog Anniversary to ME!!

I hope you have enjoyed my blogs thus far and will keep returning, especially to follow Sailor in his adventures; which incidentally, is now in the Chapter 2 phase. 

I would like to extend a 'Thank You' to all my faithful readers and new visitors to my blog, I wouldn't continue if I did not have both your interest and your support. I thank you and Sailor thanks you. And Thank you for your comments.
