Well, hey, I’m a relative newcomer, but I count myself in too, because I like so much what you have to say here: “I’m here to write.”
This is inspiring, Deanna.
I like what you said there. One thought – as a reader I sometimes read and like a post but my only thoughts about it are ‘Yeah!’ and that doesn’t seem worth commenting. I found it encouraging to install google analytics on my blog, so that even if there was not one comment on a post I could see that at least eleven people had read it (and sometimes, because of the location or browser I know exactly who it was!). That doesn’t necessarily contribute to the community/dialogue aspect, but it might just be encouragement to keep going after a post that doesn’t generate a lot of feedback. Anyway, I’m glad you’re blogging and you’ve been a huge help to me and my process :)
Thanks, Fresca, for seeing the key point. I wrote all those other words while processing that sentence.
Sarah, I do the same thing, not commenting most of the time, especially the more blogs I read. For my first blog I got a techy thingy to show how many viewers had been there. If I went through the steps to get one again and used it, I might get over the intimidated feeling I have about trying it again. But I don’t necessarily feel comfortable with all the “stealth” stuff that tracks me around the web. I found I’m weird that way. Thankfully, I’ve also truly found I can live with not getting responses. I just need to, duh, be as understanding of the other person as of myself. It’s a good, continuing lesson. It’s great to know I’ve been part of your process. Lots of thanks for sharing that. :)
I can live with not getting responses, and in some ways–maybe that’s the better thing. I know my mom visits, and my brothers. Sometimes I wonder what they think of my maudlin’ pity parties, manic overdrive and really obscure craft posts.
I’m glad you didn’t stop. :)
Yeah, Jodi, I’ve been fortunate to receive responses from people who tend to be nice (like you). Those who live by the maxim, “If you can’t say somethin’ nice, don’t say nothin’ at all,” likely read here and politely say nothin.’ It’s all good, really.
