I have all these cool new followers, many who are published writers and I suspect they are looking at my drivel and saying to themselves that I am not worthy to be part of their club.
I feel like this magnificent cat, confined to a zoo exhibit, not able to do what he was meant to do - roam free and rule his jungle home. Like me, he is alone.
I am sure he wonder's where his family is while I remain an embarrassment to mine who don't even act like I exist and can't be bothered to see if I am still alive. This blog is the only really record that I do live. If I didn't have zoo visitors coming daily to see what this monkey in the cage is up to, I might just fade into the ether.
Now THAT is some powerful ENNUI.

That's alright Kal, I actually wrote all my posts for the month a month in advance. I've just been on cruise control since the 1st. It is surprising how many people involved in the challenge are published.
I guess we just need to collaborate on a book. Cat Captions and Krazy reviews. It's so crazy I had to spell it with a k.
Family is overrated.
Why don't we call it Kat Kaptions and Krazy Reviews' to capitalize on the racist hillbilly redneck market that will recognize the three Ks in sequence. See, I am even thinking of good idea in the missle of my pain. What a trooper I am.
I came accross your blog through the a-z challenge, and I can tell you enjoy bogging and ive enjoyed reading them, even though there are a lot to keep up with! I don't understand the Cephalopod thing, but cats are cool.
Try not to judge yourself too much against others in the challenge, I would be too scared to blog at all if I did that! I think we all have our unique points if view and I like to read and share.
Any multi-tentacled sea creature scares the hell out of me. They are evil that only wish and plan for our destruction. They have too many ways to trick and escape from predators, they live in places like the bottom of the ocean where humans can't go and they gossip. I hate them.
Wait a minute... Krazy and Kat are not spelt with a K??? WTF!!!!
Anyways, fuck that shit Kal. If you drop down to a post a day I will verbally abuse you in that one post's comments EVERY DAY! Your blog is one of my faves, and if I don't get my kitteh pics, Selena shots, and random musings from the Great White North I'm liable to kill somebody! Your productivity keeps me pumping out 5-7 posts a day... lets not fuck up a good thing, OK?
Nice to meet you through the challenge! I also get intimidated by all the published authors, and seem to share the same feeling of worthiness... ah, well, I love this challenge so far :) Good luck with the rest of your A-Zs :)
I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you - I remember the first time I consciously visited this blog (which is not to be confused with the first time I actually visited it - I do a lot of unconscious blog visiting, apparently... I have no idea if I found you or you found me, for instance... Memory glitch, or alien abduction - you tell me!), and I thought it was pretty darned awesome, but I thought you posted waaay too much. I'd been raised in the "one post per day, max" tradition, and it is difficult for a country gal to let go of her family values. So when you kept popping up in my Google Reader several times a day, I shook my head and wondered what went on inside yours.
But. Then. Then I started paying more attention - the memes, the returning topics, and I found that despite the fact that only about half the things you post here were things I normally cared about (you will not be happy, but let me confess: I normally don't fancy smexy girls, superheroes [except Superman], cartoons [again, there are exceptions], kittehs [!] or sci-fi movies). And yet. I realized that I didn't skip these post on this blog. In fact, I WANTED to read about such things here. And before I knew it I had developed a girl-crush on Christina Hendricks, I laugh every time I see a LOL-cat, and I have a secret desire to watch "Source Code" (and not just because Jake looks über hot either). You opened up a whole new (and let's face it, super awesome) world to me!
Thus, I am now a devoted visitor, at least once a day (multiple posts wolfed down in delight), often more. There are very few (if any) sites on the Internet that offers such a steady source of entertainment to me.
And you can put THAT on a badge!
One blog a DAY! Lets be honest here Kal...I have trouble doing one blog a week. I write hundreds of great blogs...late at night thinking too much while waiting for the sandman. But by morning they've faded and I cant remember the funny, witty ideas from the night before...
I bet your bill collectors would beg to differ!
Hey Kal, great to visit your site over from the A-Z challenge. I am slightly behind, trying to catch up. Good to read your posts...

Love that cat, beautiful picture. I'm one of those struggling with one post per day :-)
Kal, I post once a MONTH. You are an inspiring wonder of abundance by comparison.
Your mind is not "a monkey in a cage," it's much more like the muscular panther. And that jungle cat in the picture is not depressed--he's lying in wait for the tentacled sea creatures who foolishly think their pitiful suction cups are a match for his razor fangs.
You might have some of the best followers on the planet. And even if you didn't you would keep doing what you do. 10,20 or 100 posts a day blog what comes to the big old brain of yours.I take days off, but I always seem to find time to catch back up. You blog I for one will read.

You know how much I like your blog, so I won't go on with that, but Ruth has it right. Like the old saying goes, you can pick your friends but not your relatives. An embarrassment? You've got to be kidding. Someone's off course and sitting on a waterspout (pirate jargon).....and I'm sure it's not you. I call your ennui and raise you a fistfull of angst and some depression thrown in.
Thanks everyone. I am renewed and inspired. And cs is right. I DO have some of the best followers on the planet.
Family Shmamily. Friends are our REAL family. And you've got hundreds of us!
((((HUGS))))
Who says us author people don't find you cool?
No one would follow you unless they found you worthy. Quit that self-doubt ennui stuff. I still don't know how to pronounce that word.

Family don't understand genius, Kal. We are both misunderstood.
Thank Alex. It's a writer thing.
Watch the cartoon Robyn. It will let you know how to pronounce the word.
Genius...that was the word I was looking for Belle.
Robyn I didn't know till I watched that cartoon. Learning and entertaining this cave is cool.
Oh YOU, cs. (*blush*)
Most everyone summed it up here, but I agree wholeheartedly.
I don't know all the "rules" of blogging myself, but I say even if there are "rules" let's say to hell with 'em and keep doing what you love.
