I like to keep my posts positive where possible, but today I have a small gripe.
It is with those bloggers who are giving me the vibe that they are too important to talk to small time bloggers (with big-time ambition)
I am talking in particular about two blogs that I admire: Pioneer Woman (our stories are similar) and Girl Gone Child.
I have sung both their praises often, both here and to them personally.
- I have asked them both on numerous occassions for the honour of interviewing them.
They don't even warrant me a reply.
I can handle a No - but I don't like to be ignored!
It makes me sad that while I admire their work I don't admire the way they are not accessable - or polite to ardent followers. I feel tempted to take myself off their list. Hmmmph.
I know they have read the emails and comment because they have to approve them before printing them.
I have been nothing but doting and kind.
I don't care how busy they are.
Who isn't?
It is my opinion if one is to blog then one is choosing to be interactive with readers.
If not, then choose another medium!
Oh yes they love to receive comments, but to return the favour? Heaven forbid.
Or is it they are 'too bigtime' to be interviewed on a small blog from an Aussie unknown?
Or is it they cannot write back because they are too busy photographing themselves 400 times for their next post?
Haha - snarly day today - lookout!
I appreciate these women are probably very busy and popular but how long does it take to write : "No thanks I am busy" if they are not into the idea?
Braja from Lost and Found in India has blogs equal in popularity as these two ladies- I asked her for an interview and she wrote back immediately to thank me for asking but that she was soooo busy right now, but can I ask her again later on?
I respect that.
Writing is obviously the fortes of these two I speak of, so it should be second nature.
If you feel passionate about this maybe you could send them a message that they should be interviewed on my chronicles?
Put pressure on these big guns I say!
See if they really have qualities worth admiring?
What do you think?
