Blogging

Bloggers play the role of your grandmother, your father, your teachers and your watchdog. They play the role of your grandmother by telling stories. Blogposts are the mordern day folkstories. Blogs are the campfire where you all sit around in the evening to get entertained.

Blogging is a hussle. You get to know your readers. You get to look for ancient words so as to look grandmaish.. You got to be full of wisdom . The stories you tell are most of the time mistaken for what you go through.

Your audience as well is a very important aspect of blogging. Sometimes they are those toothless village oldmen, whose teeth have fallen off due to the daily miraa chewing without brushing teeth. Those young boys too read your blog!!

Recently, I was on my usual daily coffee hunting in town, when I came across a group of miraa chewers at one of their base here in Marsabit town. They were in in deep discussion and from their faces, you would think they were discussing serious stuff like “Why Official Donald Trump should not be elected the president of the United States” . I joined them for the serious discussion. They were actually discussing the content of one of my articles. They were talking of how lazy I am. How most of the time I rush through my stories and end up writing nothing like I just did today :)
