It is done – my final assignment for the last of the courses I am taking this semester. A few extra grey hairs later and more than a few late nights of agonizing over words and sentences and paragraphs and I can finally breathe again. And blog. Speaking of blogging…
As of this moment (that is before I publish this post) I have had a grand total of three visitors to my blog in the eighteen hours that have passed since midnight. This shows me that in order to have anyone visit my blog I have to visit others and comment on them – two things I have had little time to do these past days.
Proof positive that if you want an active blog you need to be active in the blogging community.
…or you need to put hashtags in front of trending words in your title…

Thanks! Still two more to go to get my certificate. The next one starts next week.
Hey, I’m going to read your new story as soon as I get a chance. I’m looking forward to it. Did you see I posted a new short story on my other blog?

Yup. Haven’t had a chance to follow up on most of the blogs, will have to do it after I’m back home. Only catching snippets at a time now. Haven’t been following up on anyone’s blog, just trying to keep mine updated and skimming the too few in my reading list.
Off to watch the Golden State Warriors in the pub then on to the clubs!

Yea, I didn’t realize how time consuming blogging can be until something else comes in the way. Then you really start to notice the effort required.

We all like the stats, and the likes, and above all the comments. It makes us feel like we’re not just screaming into the wind. Anyway, it worked. Here I am! 🙂

See what I mean? It’s work. Always write for yourself first. If you get a crowd, lucky them. 😉

It’s work, that’s true. But there’s a lot out there that’s worth seeing, so it’s all good. You’re right though. Better to post for yourself. Difficult advice to remember at times. 😛

Yes, there’s great stuff out there, but it’s a game. It would be nice to just read the great stuff and be happy, but the game demands that we all like and comment in order to create reciprocity. It makes me wonder if anyone ever reads anything more than the blurb on the reader. Like you said, it’s all good, either way.
