Fickle Food

Like I said earlier, I’ve been meeting a lot of new people since I began blogging, one of them, Skeet, is trying out a new feature on her blog, Skeet’s Stuff, so I thought it would be right neighborly to participate!
The idea is to come up with a simile, if you don’t remember that from lit, a simile is when you take two essentially unlike things and make a comparison between them.
Skeet’s first simile is: A blog is like_________
So here’s my attempt at simile and don’t laugh! I’m easily wounded!

Sometimes a blog is like an exotic, found egg, you hope for a rare and beautiful bird who’ll eat from your hand, but sometimes you get a crocodile who snaps off your fingertip.

Okay, so I may not be Hemingway, but I believe my simile still holds true. I think every writer hopes their words will move and inspire people, or even just give them a giggle, but occasionally we all fall flat in our attempts and our most earnest efforts are rejected, unappreciated. All we can do when this happens is pick ourselves back up, dust off our hiney’s and keep blogging onward.
