#Excerpt on WordPress

[gargiyadav]

For as long as I can remember I have always indulged in my reveries with mirth and wonder.

Reveries of the prettiest kind, that light up your little self from within, and make you long for stars and moons.

Reveries that urge you to dig out the very earth that your legs are dirtied in, and hunt for the rarest gems.

Reveries that pull you towards the ocean bed despite your crippling fears, and dive deep in search of pearl oysters.

But when you are so tender and full of fervour, that dreaming is like food, water, and air to you,

You are tested by the onslaughts of this mad, brutal world.

Again and again your tall constructed structures of hopes and dreams,

Are wrecked by opinions,

And words - the most destructive weapon, are aimed at you like cannonballs.

And eyes, that pierce your soul and deem everything that lies there, unholy.

As you watch these structures come crashing down, a peculiar aversion rises from the pit of your belly.

An aversion to the very act of dreaming that once was an enchantment.

But you should know and know this well, that life is just about this.

To learn to listen to the voice of the self when the noise of the world becomes deafening.

To decipher the words of the soul and treat the words of the world with indifference.

Have you ever felt like you're going through something new, but it feels strangely familiar? It's as if you've been in this situation before because you've been there for someone else who faced something similar. Now that it's happening to you, it's like revisiting an old story, but this time, you're the main character in a tale you once watched from the sidelines. pretty strange?

When foxes eat the last gold grape, And the last white antelope is killed, I shall stop fighting and escape Into a little house I'll build.

TINKERING WITH WORDPRESS 🛠️🤔😥👌 #BloggingCommunity

To my WordPress friends: Over the past year, I’ve made many new blogging connections and I’m thrilled about that! What’s not so thrilling is that my self-hosted wordpress.org site seems to be less user-friendly than some on wordpress.com. To that end, I’ve been tinkering madly with the inner workings of The Doglady’s Den to make it more accessible… TINKERING WITH WORDPRESS 🛠️🤔😥👌 #dogladysden…

Book Excerpt of Upcoming Book, "Fallen"!

Hello, everyone, I’m currently working on rewriting a book I wrote in college. It used to be called something different, but now it’s called “Montana”. It’s about a group of five friends – two gals and three boys – who have all been best friends since elementary school. But what makes these special is that they’re all completely different. There’s Tim – the rebel and total bad boy. He always…

[solved] Multiple excerpt lengths in wordpress

[solved] Multiple excerpt lengths in wordpress

In WordPress, different excerpts lengths can be set for different post types such as a blog post, a custom post, or a portfolio post. The length of the excerpts can be adjusted by changing the number of words or characters in the excerpt. The default length of the excerpt in WordPress is usually set to 55 words, but this can be adjusted to suit the specific needs of the website. To set the length…

How do you wrap your head around the mess?

Does anybody have a manual on how to do it?

For our two bare feet, it is a line too thin 

that we are treading. 

You hold your breath somewhere in the middle, 

And somewhere in the middle, you end up crying 

Rivers that don’t even wet the ground below. 

To you, you let out tempestuous sighs, 

But they don’t even cause a leaf to flinch

A butterfly’s flapping causes a tornado? 

But a wretched heart’s throbbing

How is that nothing?  

You look behind and you look forward, 

But you do not look within.

Haste not, faith will emerge.

After a millennium or a day,

who knows?

There's no guarantee

A hundred wars or just one more,

Before he appears in saffron and gold

"What is there to hold on to?"

There’s a sky, look up,

Coloured with imperial blue, 

You find yourself amidst the green facade,

That reminds you of all gentle things, 

Of vitality that springs up from within

But just underneath, a creation of the same creator,

Waiting to gulp you whole. 

But just as the fear starts to cripple you, you learn to join your hands. 

A magically humbling thing

Do not worry, you’ve got to do it a million times,

Till help comes.

You might fall

You might die a terrible death

who knows, but you gotta do the praying. 

A random outpour of heaviness

When people say ‘wake up at midnight’ I’m always perplexed.

Midnight has never come to find me asleep.

Publishers Weekly Review of When the Moon Hits Your Eye Is In

And it’s a good one, I’m delighted to say. The relevant excerpt for me: “[A] cleverly entertaining sci-fi romp… Scalzi’s ability to balance scathing satire with heartfelt optimism shines.” I’m shiny! The full review is here. Not anything particularly spoilery about it at this point. — JS

My Favorite Blog Excerpt from Yumemiru's WordPress

Myne, books, and fictional libraries: Examining three official fanbooks

An excerpt from page 33 of the first fanbook, showing part of the temple diagram. Note the “book room” shown here in this diagram. To give some background, on August 26, 2020, I first mentioned Ascendance of a Bookworm on this blog, followed by a substantive post three days later, on August 29, 2020, entitled “Myne the ‘bookworm’ librarian and the Nippon Decimal Classification System.” Since…
