When I started blogging I was convinced it was a way to express my thoughts in print.
My thoughts. In print. Private like. And utter B.S.
I was never so proud and happy and gratified as when the first comment arrived at the blog.
Someone had read it, and more to the point, someone had taken the time to comment.
And that, truth be told, was the point of the exercise of my blogging.
I know what is on my mind, most of the time. But to blog means that I am willing to share these thoughts with my friends, few as they may be.
And so back to the "comment".
It is a little discouraging to send out post after post and never knowing if they get read or not.
Would it be so difficult to comment? Or raise a hand and say..."I read your blog..it stinks " or something.
Cyberspace to me is like a big, black hole, sucking up energy and unwanted and unread blogs.
Like this one.
