Writing a good blog

My poodle Banjo said that he would like to start an English blog, and star with a Christmas greeting and as a present the blog. The greeting would say something like: "Banjo the Poodle wishes a Good Christmas and a Happy new Year 2021!" and have a picture of Banjo with a Christmas flower. 

I said that the blog ought to have just best pieces of how Banjo has been on an adventure in my other blogs, and not just try to write a blog and write a blog, etc, since such is work like and does not give the writer any hint of how to write. Instead I ought to need highlights, atmospheres, sources of joy, insights, wisdom of life, smnall tales, and good pictures of nature, pets, home life or the like.

Writers and artists do not need all possible feedback

 I am a writer. I write teaching material to the inetrnet around the subject rationality of feelings. I mostly know the subject very well, while others typically do not have skills in just the rationality of feelings. So mostly I think that if the readers discuss the subject with some poepl they know, they just learn to think it through better, and maybe spread the interest to such, but it isn't any skilled comment to my text and not so eager either I guess. So mostly I am without feedback and that is good so. 

I have also composed some short melodies. In being a composer the same phenomenom is even much clearer: The melodies are from my own experriuence of liufe which I usually remember well, while those who have seen the note mostly do not know so well what kind of experiuence it was. And if they hear someone playing it, maybe they played it in a different way and so even the subject of the melody was not communicated. So I think that often composers do not need any feedback. But of course skilled people who understand about composing, music, wisdom of life, the areas if life composed about, etc werll, they could give some feedback, talk a little, but I guess that otherwise it isnät needed, but one ought to know how widely spread the music is and who playes it to which large groups and dud they like it.

16th of December 2020   Quite often good quality pieces of art and even texts are placed somehow higher than the readers. In a sense that is of course so: as an artist or a writer or a thinker the readers etc maybe couldn't produce as good quality. But on the other hand, good quality demands that the subject would ber all-human and well communicated, well taught, found in the everyday lives of the readers or have some common major happening. So in a sense the text, sonbg or whatever it is lifts the readers to quite much the same level as the piece of art or text, teaches it to the readers, listeners or the like, and so the full effect, the major task of the work as largely at the same level as the readers, which may be higher skill etc than the usual of the readers yused tyo be.
