Are we friends again Alice?
Maybe.
Only maybe. I thought
things were going better
Well of course you’d think that
just because you’ve been letting me speak recently. But here’s the thing. What’s going to happen when this A-Z thing is
done? Am I just going to be dumped back
into the recesses of your brain never to be seen again?
No Alice. That is not
my plan. I do know it was unfair to use
you in the way I did and then ignore you so that’s not going to happen again. I think you deserve a regular space on my
blog.
Really?
Yes really. I’m not
sure how often that will be or the format but I’m thinking……
I could do lots of things! I could certainly improve on your book
reviews. You never really give much away
about the books you read, which of course I’ve read too. You could make the reviews much more detailed
But you have to be careful not to give away the plot
Alice. People don’t like to know how a
book is going to end before they’ve even read it.
Nonsense. Didn’t you tell me that your Mother-in-law
often skipped to the end of a book and if she didn’t like the ending she didn’t
keep reading the book?
Well yes but that was only if she was struggling to enjoy
the book and didn’t want to waste time finishing a book that she didn’t like
when she could have been reading something better. She’d reached an age where she didn’t want to
waste time on things she wasn’t enjoying.
You should try that
sometimes. You should definitely read things
that are less gory than some of the books you read. I feel like I need to close my eyes and cover
my ears sometimes.
I thought you just took yourself off to sleep if you didn’t
want to be engaged with my thoughts.
You still have a lot to learn
about me Wendy. Right so book
reviews. Ooo I know what else I could do
– we could reinstate that 10 things you didn’t know thing
The BBC don’t do that anymore….
Well I bet there are other
things I could find on their site to do regular posts about for starters there’s
the “3 things we like today” that I could comment on
Umm Alice….
Or I could always try and make
the weather forecast more exciting…..
Alice the weather forecast isn’t supposed to be exciting, it’s
supposed to be factual
Right yes that probably wouldn’t
be a good one as you’re much better at fiction than fact.
Well considering my blog is mainly a journal sort of blog,
recording my life I think I’m more factual than fiction.
Ummm aren’t we writing fiction
for the whole month of April?
Well yes but…
No I think if we are going to be
friends I need a guarantee that there will be a regular spot on your blog for
me, at least weekly and the content will be left to me.
Sorry, I can’t guarantee that but I will think about what
you could do.
I don’t think that’s being very
friendly.
Alice I’m trying to be positive here and thinking ahead but
I also need to these A-Z posts done first then I can give some proper time to
working out how best to keep you involved with my blog. And being involved doesn’t mean trying to take
it over!
Alice?
Alice? Oh dear. 2 steps forward, one back and I feel like I
might be back at square 1. And I thought
things were going well.
Interesting discussion. Let me also try similar conversation some time. A to Z challenge makes you write. Write and interact with a big blogger community.
