			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>…is really simple! I’ve been swamped with many draft posts (from my other business blogs) that require more editing. Is that stupid dry writing period again where everything I write sucks. Suffering from writers block is devastating but not able to orchestrate simple sentences into paragraphs than into complete post is so suicidal for me since I blog for a living.</p>
<p>Short breaks? Done that! Didn’t work.</p>
<p>Goof around? Done that! Didn’t work either.</p>
<p>Shopping therapy? Close. Does test drive a brand new car count? More on that later on.</p>
<p>Then I realize the reason why I feel my writing suck is because lately I’d been reading too many A-list blogs. The more I read, the more insignificant I feel.</p>
<p>I never thought of myself being an A-list blogger one day. Of course I have big aspiration where problogging is concern; but fame is not one of my top ten blogging goals. Or at least not in the next three years.</p>
<p>Anyway, catch up with you later!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Constructively.</p>
<p>Having different opinions is never much a bother to me. Everyone has their right to air their views even a three-year child has to be respected to.</p>
<p>Just recently, one of my posts from another niche blog was heavily criticized by another blogger. Apparently, a few got &#8220;axed&#8221; to but mine got the special privilege. Well, this blogger wrote a lengthy post about my article and criticized relentlessly.</p>
<p>At the first read I was fueled with rage because she took my article totally out of context. After inhaling two deep breaths and one more read, I began laughing.</p>
<p>As I read between the lines, she was the one who is seriously needed help yet not realizing it. Poor She! And to make my day even better, this is what I found on the comment&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;I would like to say that I think Small Dogs Paradise is a pretty good site overall. I have read through some of the articles and have learned a few things about how to handle dogs. But, like I said, everyone is different, so I may follow their advise, or not. It is, after all, up to me. <img src='http://www.reneealexandrea.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p>Most of the time, I don&#8217;t rebuke. And if I do, most probably I didn&#8217;t inhale deeply and often enough.</p>
<p>A quote from Dale Carnegie</p>
<blockquote><p>Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually make him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person&#8217;s precious pride, hurt his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.</p></blockquote>
<p>To defend myself in this situation would only make me just as childish as the blogger is. I&#8217;m so much intelligent than that. The thing is that the blogger is no longer on my list! Simple as that.</p>
