I'm a Bleepin' Bloggin' Failure
I learned something today - I'm a blogging failure. I didn't follow the rules - again. Will I ever learn?
I read that to gain an audience - readership - for your blog, you have to blog daily! You have to let your readers know they can count on you to show up and tell all, complain, blame, shame, opinionate! and please, do bare your deepest darkest secrets and greatest dreams and wishes. This way you connect with your readers or some might hate you or your opinions enough to comment. After all it's about comments. Of course most readers of one's blogs, don't comment.
Just do it consistently - each day - okay, take a weekend off - go on vacation - MAYBE.
Jeez! There's that consistent thing again! It haunts me, more than my worst vampire entity does. Up until last week I used to point my Gemini fingers - blaming the "twins' two minds" many thoughts, which way they go - and my standard "here today, gone today, round n' round I go. " Why take my readers down that rambling path of my inconsistent thoughts?
Can't blame the twins anymore with the newfound astrology news: I'm now a Taurus - - s-l-o-w and c-o-n-s-i-s-t-e-n-t - there's no reason for not blogging everyday, or even once a week.
Maybe I just don't think all my daily life and thoughts - which are numerous - need to be laid out each and every day. I do have a life, as scattered as it might be and I know my readers have a life outside the blogging world of "here's my pain, here's my insight, here's my gripe". They don't need to check in with me everyday - they're not my mother.
p.s. Daily Bloggers - remain a bit of a mystery. Maybe a friend will call to hear all about your day.
