Ella at notesfromhomeis taking a break from Friday Club to spend time on herself and doing things irl. I wish her all the very best, and selfishly am hoping it’s a very short break, and unselfishly that she bounces back quickly. I’m going to miss Friday Club. I enjoy the community of a group of us from very different angles, all writing about a particular prompt, and then all linking up to each other, sharing the linky goodness. It also means it’s easy to hop around from one to another to read and comment, which I try to do every week too. But I totally understand and empathise with Ella’s position, so I’ll try to wait patiently for it to reappear.
And the other meme that I often partake in is Silent Sunday. I’m not a big photographer – trying to put together a photobook today convinced me of that. I need to take more pictures, and share more pictures, and Silent Sunday has been my prompt to do that. But the rules have been tightened up today, and now the no words is extended to the title. I *totally* get the reasoning behind it, but I don’t know that I want a post every week with the same title. I know I’m showing off my own brand of OCD in public here, but it kind of offends me somehow, I’m not sure how, so I’m going to have to consider carefully whether I go on taking part. (Which in itself is upsetting me. I’m not good with change. I *liked* doing my Silent Sunday post. Just never realised it was supposed to extend to the title 🙁 ) What I might do is post my pic, and link back to Jay, but not insert my evil titled post in the linky. Which of course means I won’t get visitors and comments, which I had enjoyed, particularly in the most recent week when I actually posted during the day on Sunday, but hey, that’s them apples.
Another regular post that Ella does is where I am around the internet. I did this once, and thought it was a neat idea. Then I got this plan to stop looking at my stats, and as the wordpress dashboard is peculiarly poor at tracking inlinks, that kind of wiped out my ability to check who had been linking to me. Making posting my own “where I am around the net” rather difficult.
And I don’t really do other memes. I’ve done the Writing Workshop now and then, but I’m not a devotee. I think I’ve taken part in the gallery twice, but again, not a big joiner inner there.
I guess I’ll have to go on doing what I do best. Or at the very least what I do most. Bit of rambling, waffling and ranting, with the occasional commentary on real life, all on my own, over here in my corner.
