I wonder everybody: how do you feel before you publish a new post? Excited, nervous, eager, apprehensive? And after: how do you feel then?
Well, I just published a new set of aphorisms and I feel: happy and relieved.

Nice job, enjoyed all of the aphorisms. -
Left you a comment NP, your aphorisms are great food for thought ;-) -
Thank you, NP. I'll go have a look.
But to answer your question, I usually feel expectant before and satisfied afterward. -
I love publishing new posts! I am always excited to see what the reaction will be. Some of the ones that I think are my greatest posts get the least amount of comments while my personal worst posts get more attention. I like the mystery around it and I like trying to perfect my craft.-
@Richer44 - You have a penchant of making each post entertaining and it appeared you did it without any effort!
@NP - Sorry back to your question - I often wondered the questions my posts would provoke and would I have the answer. So far, I have not been challenged much! -
I just read your starfish posts and they were fascinating. Now I have to write an aphorism with a starfish in it.

How I feel depends on the post. If it is particularly self-revealing or personal, I hope my mum won't read it! Mostly I feel relieved to have gotten out whatever was in my head.
Enjoyed your post - the one about people with problems is so right - unfortunately
-
I would mostly feel relieved and excited at the same time. -
Thank you NP ! Your aphorisms are a treat, I always check out at your blog for new ones, happy to know you have published a new post.
As always publishing a post is demanding, and always I am relieved if my posts are of any help for the fellow bloggers. -
I'm borrowing the last one:
The sea will wash away our footprints but not the fact we made them.
I like it very much. -
may I share your link?
-
Tia-I'd be honored. Feel free!

Always right to the point:-))!Beautiful!
For the past months, I do not have much feelings before or after posting...I am wondering why:).I do not even check my stats. I guess this is why I am more often on BC forum,..maybe looking for inspiration. -
I like them all! Left you a comment. -
Thanks. As always, I enjoyed what you've shared and I'm happy to have read them. -
Just now discovered your blog. Found the writing very cheering, very touching. I left a comment: was asked twice for verification, so it's either a double comment or quirk. Have bookmarked you.
As for my own posts, I'm of course excited to compose them, but I'm still so new at it that I very much miss not having an editor to give them a final check. With newspaper and magazine articles, editors always save you from sharing your errors with the reading public. But with blogs I still have to get used to flying without that safety net. Aside from that, I find the whole process of putting together writing and images a complete kick.-
savvy2: You refer to newspaper and magazine articles. Are you or have you been a journalist?

Hey NP--absolutely loved the new aphorisms. -
Hey NP!!! I got interupted while I was reading,but just went back...AS usual I love them!!! -
Mostly I feel happy and relieved, sometimes I feel a bit raw, but mostly happy
Really enjoyed them.
Maybe you should have an aphorism contest? -
I don't think anybody could come up with them as good as NP,his the king of that castle!!!
-
BEFORE I publish, I feel anxious not to forget mentioning something. AFTER, I dont want to go and look! -
i love you NP. I love your spirit, I love the joy you and your blog bring me. Cheesy but your blog in my opinion is the best out there and in here.-
Thanks, Lolita. It's friends like you that make it all worthwhile.

=D

Wow, great post! The wrong turn one was my favorite :-) -

I had a column at a small, county newspaper when I was 16. I was paid by the word - not good encouragement for developing a terse, to-the-point style. It was more or less a gossip column about the comings and goings of citizens from a ritzy part of town. I gathered my info by phone and my best source was a woman who always spilled the beans to the tune of ice cubes clinking in her glass.
Later on I wrote articles for photography and computer graphic magazines to accompany portfolios of my photographs and digital art. -
THIS IS AN OLD WORN-OUT USELESS THREAD.
Thought I'd join in the self-promotion. My ethics are
dwindling fast.
No nasty remarks, kids. This is strictly for laughs.-
A blast from the past ^_^ -
Write some new stuff, you lazy sod.
-
This is all I could think of.
-
Don't tell fibs, there is plenty of stuff in that noggin of yours, set it free.
-
You know, I think NP can easily write a book with his aphorisms!
-
It is his secret evil master plan, that is now not so secret.
-
You know Claire, I think you're right! It was all part of his master plan to resurrect an ancient thread and bring it under the living again!
*plays a dramatic and shocking tune* -
Have you finished cleaning?
-
Nooo -_-'...I'm staring at the baking tins *sigh*...I wish they could disappear magically.
-
Annihilate them with bleach spray
-
Oh now that could work
*runs off leaving a trail of flour behind* -
Also the boil kettle, so you have super hot water
-
Oh right! *makes mental notes while she balances the baking tins in one hand and the left over fruit in the other*
-
Be careful!
-
*quickley closes the closet, preventing a baking tin from jumping out*
Woohoo! All done! -
Oh very good, now come do mine
-
You just wanted to see my cleaning skills, didn't you?
But I would love to come over and take a some cake with me
Let me fetch my private jet! -
You should be able to get here in 2 hours
-
-
Felt it was time to put a stain on my spotless reputation.
-
You're doing a good job.
-
Meanie!

Sensi knows you aren't telling us the whole truth as to why you bumped up your old thread. As a therapist, you must like within yourself...and find the answer. -
Well just shatter my hopes....I'm truly depressed now
-
Like the new posts foot prints are very relevant for me at the mo. I really enjoy publishing when I have just had a dry patch and overcame it. -
It really depends on my mood. I'm usually fairly calm, sometimes excited if I have something new to say. Tonight I was just angry, having seen a documentary on BBC about the murder of Neda Solan in Tehran during the summer protests against the fraudulent election. I've added a tribute to my blog in her memory. -
Your work is both excellent and profound. Posting takes time. It feels great when your feedback has touched ones readers. Keep up the fine work. Oh, I noticed that you skipped October. Is there any particular reason for this that you care to share? -
It depends on what I am writing about but most of the time I am eager.
