Pig’s website is not good

“Hello Robert,” I said when I arrived in the garden.

“How are you, Pig?” Robert said.

“I’m good, but my work is not good at all.”

“What’s happened?”

“I can post articles on my website, but I can’t insert an image even though it is the URL or images in my site album.”

“It’s not really good. Do you know why?”

“I’m not sure if it is because of the outage a few days ago.”

“Now, what will you do?”

“I pause posting articles and come to do gardening with you.”

After saying it, I took a basket and went to pull grasses from the land to put in it.

Pig is busy with video platforms

“Pig, are you still working?” Robert said.

“Yes Robert,” I said. “My accounts on video platforms are getting recognized.”

“Accounts? Do you have more than one?”

“Yes, I have more than one. At first, it was my TikTok account. Then I worked on Instagram account and it is getting traffic.”

“It is good. They are moving forwards, so you can take a break.”

“I can’t.” I shook my head. “While it is getting recognition, I have to catch this chance tightly. If I take a break, it will turn to like when I started it.”

“It’s complicated. I don’t understand. But don’t you worry. Take your time. I go to work in the garden now.”

I smiled, “Thanks so much, Robert.”

Pig gains new knowledge

“Pig.” Robert knocked on my room’s door.

“Yes,” I said and I opened the door.

“What’s happened to you?” He said with big eyes when he saw my eyes looked like a panda’s.

“Last night, I didn’t sleep,” I told.

“Till now?”

I nodded.

“Why?”

“My tiktok’s video went viral, and now a new idea pops up in my head. I am studying about it.”

“Really?  Congratulations.” Robert grabbed my hands and shook them with a smile on his lips.

“Thanks. I am busy, I won’t be able to help you with gardening today. Also, I can’t help you with other work. I need to work on it.”

“Don’t worry.” Robert patted his chest. “Leave everything to me. Take your time.”

Robert cannot justify his text on Blogspot

“Pig,” Robert called, “please help me.”

“What’s the matter?” I said.

“I created a blog on Blogspot. I wrote it already and I clicked Justify but my text isn’t justified.”

“Did you write on it directly?”

“No, I wrote it on Ms Word, then I copied and pasted it here.”

“It is not a big deal, we can fix it. Open Google, then copy your text from Ms Word to paste it in the search box of search, after that, copy it and paste it on Blogspot.”

“Ah, my text can be justified. How did you know that?”

“Experience.” I smiled. “I met this problem, too, when I wrote on Blogspot. There was no document telling how to fix this, so I tried to do it by myself, then I found this method.”

“Very good. Thanks pig.”

“You’re welcome.”

Pig’s article about traditional Khmer color indigo

“Pig, what are you writing again?” Robert asked.

“I am writing about the traditional Khmer color ‘black’. Cambodian people didn’t call it black in the past,” I said.

“What is it called?”

“I don’t tell you. If you want to know, you have to read it. However, it will be published next week.”

“What’s about your article about color indigo?”

“Click on the picture above if you want to read it.”

 

How pig edits English grammar

“Pig, can you tell the difficult experiences you have encountered working as a blogger?” Robert asked.

“There are many,” I said.

“Tell me one.”

“Let’s take the example of writing in English. Though I know English, I am poor in grammar. My writing usually had grammatical errors. When I wrote fiction on websites, there were a lot of criticism comments especially over my grammar, but no one told how to fix it. This is what the writers online always meet - especially the non-native English writers. In addition, though I asked them to help me by telling me how I could improve my grammar, no one replied. Seeing that I decided to continue writing. I published stories on eleven websites and I spent about one year. One day, there was a comment from a reader saying that my story had a lot of grammatical errors, they told me to use google doc in gmail to fix it. I followed their advice; after that, I don’t see anyone criticize grammar in my writing anymore.”

“Wow, sad but happy experience.”

“Yes, it is both a sad and happy experience. And because of that, I decided to share what problems I encounter and how I fix them on my website. The experts, the rich, the outstanding people might think it is not important and laugh at. But for the low and poor bloggers, like me, who are thriving to chase dreams to be successful bloggers, it is very important. Especially when we are not native English writers, we meet a lot of difficulties, and what we need is comments or advice on how we can deal with that difficulty or improve our capacity. Nowaday, among thousands of people, there are less than one hundred people who have a helpful heart to share good comments. Most of them love to give look down comments, mock comments etc.” 

Robert wagged his head, “I understand.”

Pig doesn’t have time to have fun like her friends

It was a good, shiny day. While Robert and I were gardening, cow, duck and twin piggies came.

“Hello pig. Hello Robert,” they said.

“Hello,” I said.

“We are coming to call you to go to the lake. We didn’t go out together for many days.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t.”

“Come on, pig. We miss you,” twin piggies said.

“Yes, come with us,” cow said.

“Don’t stay at home like this. You will be stressed,” duck said.

“No.” I shook my head. “Sorry.”

Seeing that they couldn’t persuade me, they gave up.

After they left, Robert asked, “Why don’t you go with them? This will be fun.”

“I don’t have time for having fun, Robert,” I said. “I need to work to get money.”

“I wonder why they can have time to have fun, and you don’t.”

“They don’t need to worry because they have their masters taking care of them. They don’t have to care about food or pay the bill, but I do.”

Robert wagged his head, “I understand.”
