Blog writing is a dangerous thing. Yesterday I learned that one friend reads this blog ‘most days’; another met me at a group yesterday and mentioned she’d read the Robin Hood post from the day before. That’s immediate feedback for you!
Of course, they could have also posted a comment, and then I’d have known about them reading it. But there again, am I posting comments on others’ stuff? I read most of one friend’s film blog posts, but tend not to comment – don’t correct a man with superior film knowledge, eh? Or something.
All of which could mean there are others reading it, that I have no idea about. I don’t know if there’s some way of telling who’s read it, whether or not they leave a message. At least a few people I know who’ve mentioned something, I don’t even remember telling about the blog…
Anyway, can’t help but feel that it’s gratifying for people a) to have bothered reading it and b) to have said something after, one way or another. It makes me inclined to keep going, at least.
This is bad news for the casual reader, who hoped for something light and frothy about the next series of Big Brother. For everyone else…maybe I’ll have to up my bus usage so I have enough to write about. You have been warned.
