I wasn’t gonna do a personal blog tonight as I’m not feeling well.. I have been in pain all day.. and I still had to watch the grand babies.. so I didn’t take any pain medicine.. well that’s not the reason the reason is I have none.. but that’s another blog for another day..
I wanted to talk about blogging.. and how my email is over run now by bloggers.. and I don’t mine .. well maybe a little.. my policy was to check my email, read post and do one of two things like and comment or just like it.. but I find myself reading post for bloggers who aren’t reading mine.. so the system I came up with is to go on my likes and comments.. and read those post and reply to them first.. out of 81 followers I have on a given day 7 true followers.. so I’m need to figure out how to have faithful followers like me..
Another thing I do is to follow back.. but I am finding everybody doesn’t do that either.. but I follow what interests me.. right now I feel I’m in a place of darkness with this depression and excuse my language this damn pain that I can’t get one freaking doctor to give a damn about me and my suffering.. so maybe that’s one reason I get followers but not readers.. or maybe the just wanting to grow their followers.. I don’t know..
Well at any rate.. I want to say I appreciate everyone who follows me.. but read, like, leave a comment.. sometimes I think this is a competition.. but not with me.. I have to much to release to compete..
If you have any thoughts I would like to hear them.. so feel free to drop by and sip some tea, coffee or pepsi.. whatever your beverage of choice is..
original me..
I appreciate your predicament! Somehow I’ve gathered a few hundred followers! I’m following about half that number and some of the bloggers I follow are not following me. I do read and respond to people who like and comment on my posts. I try to keep up with the posts of those I follow but with a job unrelated to writing, and a family, and other interests, I often lose track. I assure you and all the people I follow that it is not for lack of interest but for lack of time! As to followeres, I can not figure out why they follow me. I am appreciative of the interest for those who are interested in my poetry and tolerant of those who have other agendas. To my way of thinking, a like is praise and a comment is both high praise and a great gift! Ultimately, I write my blog for me, as a way to address my angst and to relieve my inner turmoil. The numbers are wonderful but are not what I’m writing for.

I have a few followers, I don’t even know how many, keep getting emails about people following me, but I’m sure there are just as many who “unfollow” me too because I don’t follow everyone back. And I don’t, really, because honestly I’ve gone onto several of their blogs and found many of them to be… not interesting to me. I bet they are fascinating to their followers, but we just can’t please everyone, can we? ^_^
I don’t ask people to follow me so I don’t feel obligated to follow them back. My blog is a personal blog, a space for me to air my opinion and share it with the few who want to exchange their opinion. And I’ll share mine… as you’ve probably found out by now. ^_^ Whenever I have the energy. Heh.
