At the brink of oblivion

I find myself toying with the idea of maybe letting this blog go. Or more realistically speaking, I'm thinking of paying less attention to it. The reason I'm doing this is because I am finding it increasingly dissatisfying to write in this space and receive no feedback, interaction or even general interest from my readers. To be honest, I'm not even sure if I have readers!
When I started this blog, I had no idea that it would take off and generate the kind of interest from my friends, and even friends of friends, that it did. It was intended to be primarily for me, as an outlet for my thoughts and emotions, and a tool with which to hone my writing skills. Then as each post I added was received with more followers and support, the blog also became about my readers, and my ability to engage with them through my words. And now I suppose the Leo in me is simply not happy with this sudden lack of interest.
It could be perceived that I'm throwing a tantrum (which I most certainly am), but I also must point out that I feel a loyalty and responsibility to my 20 followers to keep this blog updated, and interesting, and witty and entertaining (achieving the last two is no easy feat)... and all a girl wants is some vocal support for cryin' out loud!!
So come on people, if you want this blog to continue, comment, engage, spread the word, follow.. MAKE ME HAPPY!!

  1. aah but you keep it witty and entertaining with effortless aplomb.. and a whole lot more.. i think writing comes so naturally to you and this forum is an awesome outlet for that talent.. the experiences are so personal but whats great is that everyone (in varying degrees) can relate to the posts im sure.. also, just because you dont see posts does not necessarily mean people don’t read.. but i know what you mean.. a lack of feedback can get frustrating.. all i can say is.. if you do decide to follow through with that threat.. one of your 20 fans will definitely be disappointed
