On Not Blogging

[siriusseaside]

Preface: This entry is way too long for any reasonable blog enthusiast to read. I take comfort and pride in that

Well, I miss your comments. I am lazy about keeping up IRL but I blame you for not inviting us over for cocktails.
;p

[siriusseaside]

Well, you're in good company. It's very rare I invite anyone over for cocktails. The truth is, I prefer to drink alone or with my lady. sorry!

Ask Amy or Kristen, it's a very unusual occasion when I even lunch with them and if I do it's on their invite. I'm a loner, Dotty, a rebel.

In many ways this post is indicative of how I feel about real social life, but to clarify that would take another post, which is coming.

well, reading this entry makes me wish you would write more often. there is much truth in what you write and i often ask myself the same question, why do i post? i can go on and on with reasons why, but in the end, it's all self-absorbed.

I appreciate the encouraging words, thanks! I will post again when I've written something I think is worth posting.

I post a lot less about real meaningful things than I used to. Yet I do like keeping a blog. I guess attention is the word, but I prefer connection. I like being able to see what a lot of my real life freinds are doing (all though they seem to post less and less as well)and I like being to update people on the little things in my life that I choose to show, things I want to share. Although I never know who is really reading it, but I like that. I sort of like it when I post something that is a little deeper and no responds. It reminds me, you are doing this for you only.

However, regarding you: I miss your posts. The fact that you are maybe the only person I don't know who's posts I read all the way through each time says something. Your posts were insightful and well written. You are a writer and what is wrong with wanting your writing to be read? Don't most writers?

Anyway, thanks again for an insightful entry. I am glad you are happy and have found a better home. :-)

thanks!

I think your approach to blogging is good. This subject is very complex to me and certainly it's relative; sometimes I just think too much to deal with all the thoughts that come from and are about blogging.

Thanks very much for the encouraging words. When I write I do want to write well and if I think I have then it will be worth posting. This post is just one part of a lot of related ideas that have been on my mind, so more to come.

i like your writings. i always have. keep 'em coming. the fact that you're happier now should give you even more motivation to write. it's been so long, come back to comic-con! =)

[siriusseaside]

huh? Did I say I was happier? haha. I am but still have plenty to complain about.

Yeah, you have been my biggest supporter for a long time, thanks.

No comicon for me this year unfortunately :/ I'll try next year.
