Essential Shift

I have been blogging for right around 636 Days, and I have to say I am quite proud of myself. I try to be as honest as possible with you guys, when somethings bothering me I try to let you know, and when I’m really happy, I am sure to let you know. Well, right now I’m happy, and very confused… about the same thing. I know I have told you guys on a number of occasions that one of my goals as a blogger is to get into 9 rules, I have been trying very hard to better myself as a blogger, and I see myself growing, and in turn I’m having more fun. I have gotten to the point in which I am happy even if I don’t make it in, I am happy just blogging for me.

That said… why the heck aren’t I accepted into 9 rules?! I was telling the truth about being happy about just blogging for me, it’s just that I have been asking some friends who have been accepted into 9 rules to critique my site, and to be brutally honest with me. All of them have said the same thing, something along the lines of, “You update your site regularly, you have good content, and it looks like you really care about what you write… keep up the good work”. If all of this is true, why haven’t I been accepted? I don’t care if I’m not, I just want to know WHY I’m not. I know Tyme has been very busy, and has cut off site submissions, mainly because of the shear quantity of the sites submitted. I know she has more important things to do than e-mail me the reason I wasn’t accepted, but it’s driving me nuts! I need to know for myself, so I can continue to learn and grow. Hearing from her would be the ultimate resource, after all 9 rules contains the best content on the web. If I could only know what I am doing wrong I would be that much closer to getting to my goal.

So Tyme if you read this, and I know the chances of you doing so are slim, could you shoot me an e-mail telling my what I’m doing wrong?
