A spider doesn’t ask and just keeps on weaving its web.

             What does life feels like to a plain blogger like you and me? Waking up each day and looking forward for a new article to post, of course we have to write it first before it could get posted. Chances are we may come up with a really good article that just writes by itself and in some dismal days, we may barely get our mind to work and squeeze out a quite interesting blog. Worst when each one of us have put much pressure in the thinking to keep up with a blog a day, a late night’s homework would later turned out a candidate for revision when it failed to come out to publication for days. Too much readability errors, check your spelling, etc. You will be amazed why acronyms like USA, WBF, USAF would turn up like Usa, Wbf, Usaf and it adds up a strain to your patience.

            What better things could you expect in blogging? Too much out of too little or too little out of too much? Whatever it is, let us bring our mind back to the cradle of civilization. Before even our technology has attained its better days, the spider had been patiently weaving its web without much expectation. On some better days it catches the most delicious prey in the web it takes as food and on bad days, the web just sways by the wind. I suppose we have intertwined a complicated webbing towards each other and though we may not feel it, someone is actually collecting bigger preys better than us even as we add a web blog to a web blog. A spider doesn’t ask and just keeps on weaving its web. We aren’t spiders and practically, we have diverse, extreme needs. But why are we so caught up in web blogs? Maybe it’s about time we ask Peter Parker. “With great power comes great responsibility.” That reads like more complicated so I’d rather get back to writing, what about you?

    Spiderman is my character. I like to watch spiderman movie too. I agree “A spider doesn’t ask and just keeps on weaving its web” so we should work smartly to get our task done.

    Spiders rebuild and rebuild everytime somebody smashes their web, or walks into it.

    my son like spiderman.love this

  • Michael Eboh on Feb 18, 2010

    You know more than me. Though I know a little about Spiderman!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Every spider longs for that big prey. Probably a bigger web would increase the chances.:)

    Spiders weave a web because that’s what spiders do. Writers write because that’s what writers do.

    It’s interesting and clever that you picked this seemingly useless insect for this blog. But as you’ve showed, we can certainly learn a lot from the spider. In fact man has learned the technique for building suspension bridges from this seemingly useless insect. Much food for thought.

    This is a very interesting way to compare writing to spiders. Thanks for the creative article.

    Hey Spiderman,

    This is a very creative article. Spiders: weave just like humans write. Spiders don’t ask; they just continue weaving. I think I will get back to writing. Great quote too. “With great power comes great responsibility.

    Wonderwoman.

    I do not blog but my brain gets tangled in the web. Great analogy! I do not possess that ‘great power’ yet so perhaps I do not have to worry about responsibility? :)

  • Atanacio on Feb 18, 2010

    another good entry Deep Blue

  • Mark Gordon Brown on Feb 18, 2010

    Interesting take on it all

  • AlmaG on Feb 18, 2010

    We are all spiders in our web of life :)

  • albert1jemi on Feb 18, 2010

    Great share

  • Buma on Feb 19, 2010

    You just need to keep weaving the web….

  • sambhafusia on Feb 19, 2010

    Great share!! interesting and well expressed…

  • Patrick Regoniel on Feb 19, 2010

    I’ve been thinking about this too db. We actually pay half of our income to our provider for their services to go on. Our actual income actually is double what we earn. Fair enough? I am not so sure. But that’s what we agreed when we signed up. Well, just enjoy writing. You write well.

  • athena goodlight on Feb 19, 2010

    I love your analogy of spiders and writers. We squeeze out something and we keep weaving. Then hopefully something good comes out.

  • qasimdharamsy on Feb 19, 2010

    Nice presented….well written….

  • Sourav on Feb 20, 2010

    I agree with ashan…. nothing more to say!

  • devsir on Feb 20, 2010

  • devsir on Feb 20, 2010

    I liked it indeed

  • RS Wing on Feb 20, 2010

    I just keep moving forward, weaving into the web of writing and hopefully reach someone. They say, write for one reader and all the rest will follow. I believe this to be true. Great article Will!

  • standingproud on Feb 21, 2010

    I have a great love for the spider.
    They are so committed to weaving , a must to survive.

  • lillyrose on Feb 22, 2010
