1. I was never going to put a picture in my blogs, because I was all about the writing! (Boy aren't you a genius, by the time you were down to one reader you still couldn't figure out why nobody new came along and started reading you)
2. I was never going to post more than once a day! (More genius level thinking there, All I had to do was write that one blog that pissed everyone off, and then let that fester in them for a day without some way of recovering my audience with what they usually come there for)
3. I will never explain myself and my
4. I will never have more than one blog, because everyone will love EVERYTHING I say! (See Number 2, and then assume that posting dumbassery more than once a day will be something you can recover from)
5. I will adapt to my readers as I go! (The squeaky wheel gets the grease. You'll find that in the real world the people who seek to change you are only in it to change you. They have no intention of sticking around once you have changed)
In other words, when I was young and dumb I did things that were young and dumb. As I evolved as a writer the first thing I had to do was let go of the ideals that held me back. It's ok to have morals, it is ok to have hopes and dreams and blah blah blah, but every one of those things that compromise your writing is actually a flaw, and not an ideal. Some things are more important than an audience, I completely understand, but if you don't learn the difference between those, and the ones that don't, you could be doomed to never get any better.
