Blogging Goodness « Blogging »

In this whiny post, I let myself vent some frustration over the ground I lost when I took a 3+ month layoff.

See? You can see some of my basic underlying assumptions just by using the phrase "ground I lost".

But I think...

...many people think of blogging that way: that it is an attempt to get some attention. There are some who would still blog if no one read their site, but I do think, for the most part, we all want people to come by and find our work valuable and interesting enough to return...better yet, to consider our writing good enough to recommend to friends in the form of a blogroll link.

Well, I'm not going to apologize for whining (although I do reserve the right to disparage myself), but I do want to provide a follow-up: my hittage is once again returning to the levels I had right before I stopped blogging: near-100 a day. That's pretty heady levels for me...for too long I was in the 60s/day. Please keep coming by, tell all your friends, and if there is something you'd like to see me blog about, please send an email and ask. I once did some research into the Iraq oil situation for Zombyboy, something I would never have done on my own; I think everyone who was reading me at that time learned something. I'd reprint it, but I'm still waiting for the delivery of my old archives, and it's outdated anyway.

So, if you miss reading my opinion about guns, let me know. If you want more KC Chiefs opinions, let me know.

That reminds me....I haven't written anything about this year's NFL draft. Hmmm.....

I'll tell you right now that I would stop blogging if people stopped reading. I'm not doing it just because I like to write, but because I really like to be _read_.

Maybe it's all a big attempt to find approval from people that I admire and like--I can live with that if it means that somewhere along the way I start living up to my own expectations of my writing.
