A sincere apology

I've been a very bad blogger. With my recent atrocious obstacles in my already hectic life, I've neglected the one thing I enjoy the most...writing. I started this blog due to this passion, and when things got rough I ignored my duties as a blogger...and bolted, leaving no trace of life behind. What does that say about me...tsk tsk tsk!
So I decided to extent a sincere apology to my dedicated readers. Now don't think you're gonna hear a simple sorry and that's it. I want it to feel genuine, and I want to maybe even make out into a lesson for future moments when stumbling on the proper etiquette of delivery a sincere apology.
Now rushing through the whole matter comes off as it didn't really affect you, that the other person's feeling mean nothing to you and well you just come off as an ass. And trust me the last thing you want is make the situation even worse than it already is...let's do this right the first time.
First...in person, over the phone or by letter or note...

  1. Acknowledge what you did was wrong. Ex: I haven't kept my blog up to date.
  2. Accept responsibility for your actions. Ex: I know there are no excuses that can change the fact that I neglected my responsibilities and all of your (my readers) needs.
  3. Make amends for your wrong doings. Ex: It truly disturbed me that I did this, and I'm going to try to submit two new entries before the week is over. This is my way to show you all that I wholeheartedly want to make it up to all of you.
  4. Offer reassurance that the wrongdoing will not happen again. Ex: In the future, if I'm neck high in stress and problems, I'm going to remind myself of this moment today. I'll remember that I have all of you, and that no matter what time of day, if I share some information concerning the matter, that I can assist myself, as well as help one of my readers.
  5. Don't overuse the word sorry. Ex: And so what I'm trying to say is, I'm truly sorry and i hope you can forgive me. 
So when it all comes together, it comes out like this:

I haven't kept my blog up to date. I know there are no excuses that can change the fact that I neglected my responsibilities and all of your (my readers) needs. It truly disturbed me that I did this, and I'm going to try to submit two new entries before the week is over. This is my way to show you all that I wholeheartedly want to make it up to all of you. In the future, if I'm neck high in stress and problems, I'm going to remind myself of this moment today. I'll remember that I have all of you, and that no matter what time of day, if I share some information concerning the matter, that I can assist myself, as well as help one of my readers. And so what I'm trying to say is, I'm truly sorry and i hope you can forgive me. 
Hope you all can accept my apology and return to read my future blogs xoxox
