Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Last week I asked for some help on this whole blogging thing, and boy did I get it.

First up, thanks for all the comments. Really, really. Comments are how I know real, live human beings are showing up every day and not just two hundred scammers trying to sell fake watches and cheap pharmaceuticals. It really makes a huge difference. More on that next week…

Actually, more on everything next week. Today I just want to respond directly to a few of last week’s comments. I’d love to respond to every single one of them, but to be honest, I’m basically a very lazy person.

Anne said, “If you force yourself to blog each day, your blog will feel forced.” And that will probably become more and more evident. On a different topic I’m embarrassed it took me about twenty minutes to figure out the Debbie Downer reference. I kept thinking where have I heard that line before?! Duhhh…

Sancho, et al suggested guest posters to take off the heat. Sounds like we have some volunteers! To be honest, though, I doubt BTTF will ever have guest posts. (Ne dit jamais jamais) The primary reason for this is that the primary reason for this blog is to showcase my mad writing skillz. (At least that’s the goal. Doesn’t actually always work out like that.)

Amy C. Yes, you can have two votes.

Loki wrote, “But if you do take that break, please please please come back to us! Your journey is inspiring and has reinvigorated my personal weight loss goals.” Wow. And here I was thinking I was just being a goofball. Roni privately said the same thing to me once, that I was this kind of blogger whether I personally believed I was or not. I guess I believe it now.

Joe knows what the voices in my head sound like. That’s spooky.

Tuscany mentioned, “Just cos people dont comment it doesnt mean they dont read.” I agree. But like I said, it sure helps.

Quix. Bored at work? Bored at work? I thought you said you worked in the MMO industry?

Suzie sounds like my newest reader. You read every single post? Sounds like you might even be in the running for president of my fan club. That used to be Megan. (Do you still stop by sometimes, Megan?) It’s interesting the way the blog audience dynamic constantly changes.

So thanks again for all the words. Tune in next week for the conclusion of this riveting three-part episode.

Enjoy my writing? Then don't forget to come back! I just might post something good tomorrow, too. Subscribe via RSS , via email, or share it with a friend. If you really like it, put me on your blogroll. That'd be sweet.
