Doha, Qatar |
I never had much self-discipline in my life. I
usually start with a bang, and after a while, I pause for one reason or another
and next thing you know, some months had gone by, and I do not renew whatever I
paused.
Obviously,
blogging is not an exception.
I won’t make
excuses about how difficult it is to write when I am galivanting through this
world and having so much fun that I don’t have time to sit and write. Because
let’s face it, I have plenty of time.
Anyway, I
never liked to post pictures of me in my blogs. I like to post photos of the
places I am talking about.
However, a
couple of years ago, I met a guy that is a blog photographer. He takes pictures
of the places and sends them to a blogger in the United States, and the blogger
writes about these places without having been there. I guess the blogger has a
large following because he can afford to pay good money for the photographs.
Anyway, at the time I thought that was terrible because many people like me
visit these places for real and not many people read us.
Anyway, a
few months back, I was with my granddaughter in Croatia, and we met another
blog photographer. And this time I got mad. These bloggers are lying to the
people about the places they have been, when in reality, I guess he Googles the
information.
So, with
that in mind, from now on, I will be posting pictures of me so everybody can
see that I have been in the places I write about.
Granted, I
don’t have many photos in some places because I don’t take many pictures of me.
Besides, my phone landed in the toilet some months ago, so I lost many, many
pictures.
However,
from now on, I will take pictures of me, even if I had to do a selfie.
And this
time I will try to blog without a pause. (ha-ha, sometimes I make myself laugh)
