Don’t tell me what to write (But not in a stroppy way.)

“Hi, Poppy, I will not be constrained to a pre-written comment.”

The poll post I know it seemed I had forgotten but I had not. I had got stuck and then suddenly, just now it came to me.

I am a bit stuck with this blit. I like it and I need it because I want somewhere to write something that is very me like, a place to have my own room. I was watching a TV program the other day about Georgian taste and how they were the first people to allow women a say in how houses were decorated and drawing rooms were the place that women got the most opportunity to decorate a room and make it feminine and personal. That is how I feel about writing here.

But I think this site is not going to be an everyday place. Or it could be.

I could find a pretty picture to go up every day (that is no problem, as Stevenson said, “The world is so full of beautiful things that I am sure we should all be as happy as kings.”  At least I think that is what it was- I am just letting myself write this. I am not going to look it up and check.

I think this is what I know.

I am very keen to write the next two poll posts. They are delectable and just sitting there waiting.

I want to keep this site but change it but I do not know how just yet. I have to accept a drop in numbers  – which is quite right. I think I want it to be something different. This is me thinking out loud.

I am not sure about leaving the site up at all – I do not want anyone to think that I am saying what I think about will be worth much of your time. But I should like to write it nevertheless.

I may use the poll to ask about daily pictures. I may not.

But I can’t continue to have two sites which have a new post every day because my head will fall off.

Decisiveness is not part of today’s plan.

How scary is that?

I am open to thoughts but I am not being rubbish and asking you to tell me what to write. I am just saying I am confused. (But I am not going anywhere.)

    Poppy, no matter what you decide write (or post) here, I shall still continue to visit. It makes me smile when an e-mail pops up in my inbox, letting me know there is a new post. :love

  2. Scunge says:

    Ooh me too! I also am puzzled by the fact that my gravatar works here and NOT at your other shared blite! Cry

  3. Raven Red says:

    With Kate and Scunge on this one, will continue to visit regardless. My visit to your blog has become one of the small little highlights in my day. :rose

  4. Mindy says:

    Poppy, whether you write here or there, I’ll be visiting, reading and commenting (I sound like a stalker). Do what you want and need. Post as frequently or infrequently as you like. I’m sure all of us are right behind you. Wink

  5. Poppy says:

    I really don’t think I deserve all this kindness.

    But I think I like it very much. I think by saying this I am setting myself free a bit to write differently. I hope so. I have so many words bubbling up inside me.

    Mindy, Raven, Kate and Scunge- thank you. I will do my best to stay worthy and to keep making you smile.

  6. Paul says:

    Poppy, good morning. :rose :rainbow
    Do I need to say that I agree with Mindy, Raven, Kate and Scunge. Grin
    Whenever you write, wherever you write, I’ll be reading you, always with pleasure and a Smile .
    Sometimes I have wondered how you manage with your workload. :um Oops!
    Here we are, hump day, have a good one. :4leaf :4leaf :4leaf
    Love and warm hugs, :love :loud
    Paul.

    Poppy, your output does seem to have been phenomenal at times, particularly given the depth of some of your writing. It would be awful if it became a burden. I hope this will free you to do what is right for you. We will enjoy the outcome whatever that is!

  8. scarlet says:

    Poppy, where you lead, we will follow. And gladly!

    I think you are like Robert Frost, when he said, “I’m not confused. I’m just well-mixed.”

    Whatever your thoughts are, they are well-mixed in your special blend of thoughtfulness, funniness, smartness and that very special *oh-my!* quality you bring to everything you write. Carry on. We’re right behind you! :love

  9. Gill says:

    Poppy I love the pictures! Hope you keep posting them where ever you are. Gill

  10. Poppy says:

    Hi, Gill- thank you for saying that and of course I will keep the pictures coming. I like them too.

    Scarlet, that is a wonderful quote. I can march on if I know I have company.

    Alice, thank you. I love my scribbling and I have sorted this out because I won’t let it become a burden. You are right , that would be horrid.

    Paul, thank you so much. I like my work and I like my scribbling- I attack both with a kind of furious enthusiasm. But I want to do this for a long time- so I must be gentle with myself.

  11. Kaki says:

    Poppy, I enjoy coming over and visiting although I don’t often comment. :love

    Do it if it makes you happy, stop when it seems like more work than fun. :rose
