I did a joke post where I whined about low stat numbers. I do these now and then. I know the numbers go up and down. But this time I learned something. I learned that I am working way too hard on this blog. Half of you are just reminding me that the stats are a roller-coaster… and the other half are telling me they can’t keep up.
I appreciate people being honest. I know I do too many posts… I have crack squirrels in my freekin’ head, for crying out loud. You think I want to be addicted to this blog? My real life takes second place far too often. But to find out that all that work is actually annoying people is a revelation to me.
I have been doing all those ‘name that piece of Art’ posts just to go through all my old posts and save all the funny Photoshop pictures to one place so I can organized them. And all the other stuff I do just because I am me and I can’t help myself.
I guess I figured that people would just type one word comments like ‘HA’ when I did 5 posts in one day. I tried to keep the number of words down to save you all time reading but hey… words happen.
I just need to rethink my situation here. If working this hard is actually driving people away, maybe I should focus more on trying to get a literary agent and editing the third sci-fi book and sending my short stories and poems and stuff to magazines and writing competitions… maybe even sell some of my stuff.
So I may be a little scarce for a few weeks while I sort out what my priorities really are. I am not sulking. I am not angry. I am not even saying that I will end up changing my wicked ways… because… crack squirrels…
Pouring My Art Out 
You are the bestest and only you that exists in this crazy world and your bloggin’ makes my hear smile… Don’t let anyone tell you how to be you… on the other hand, if you need time, take time. I did and you know what? No one even noticed I’ve been gone nearly a month now…. Your blog is fun because you don’t cave to the pressure if it starts to BE pressure for you then maybe the squirrels need to run it for a while and you can go to Cancun or something? It’s not like you force anyone to read every single post or anything… Whatever you do, have fun
By the way, I’m still on “blogcation” … you do have a way of pulling me back in though. Sorry if I left sand on the carpet… you know how it is when you get in from the beach… sand is EVERYWHERE
Well I wish I could tell you what is really going on, but soon I will, I promise
All in time, I’m not one to peek at surprises before there time.
I still feel guilty
Save the guilt for moments when you actually do something worthy of it
Okay
Thanks… I think I like you
Then we have something in common
Awwwwwwww…. And yay
This is a test isn’t it. 🙂
I give it a day or two hahaha.
Not really a test… A… Distraction…. It will all be revealed soon
Ahh I see 🙂
I do hate to be so mysterious…. Sort of… Ha
I understand that you’ll be busy with other stuff for the next couple of weeks, and that’s OK, of course. But I just want to say that you shouldn’t let the detractors get to you. Even sweet old Cordelia’s Mom once had a commenter state that he was sorry he wasted his time on one of her posts (what a loony!).
Enjoy your time away, but be sure to come back. Too many of my blogging friends have disappeared recently, and I find it quite upsetting.
I’m not really going anywhere… but thanks so much.
OMG who says that? “he was sorry he wasted his time on one of her posts”! How rude is that!!! You would never say that to someones face, “I am really sorry I came to your house today, I feel like your cucumber sandwiches were soggy and it was a waste of my time” WHAT a douche!!!
Yeah, I was a little surprised. But I guess everyone’s entitled to an opinion, so I just thanked him for reading and commenting.
Hahaha you’re way too nice. I would have had to say something about, “and remember, manners matter” hahaha.
I would have done something squirrly
That will show him
Well, I don’t think he ever came back, or if he did, he’s being sneaky about it.
It is a mystery
Anonymity makes people obnoxious…
Very true, keyboard warriors at their best 🙂
Like drivers in cars are extra rude
It’s true they are, but then I have to admit I have waited until I got in my car then used it as my own personal rant office hahaha.
I never considered that
The crack squirrels may be conspiring against you. Never trust furry rodents–word to the wise.
I have no choice.
Hey, I just followed you (again), and now you’re just going to disappear?
It is a weird thing I am doing and it will all be made clear very soon…
I’m with you on this one. I have only been doing this blogging thing since January, but I have found it can completely absorb your time, suck you into the blogging vortex. Maybe everyone else has suddenly realized they are spending too much time doing blogging stuff and not enough time doing all the other stuff they are supposed to be doing, like marketing their books, laundry, writing their next book, laundry, writing short stories, laundry – hmm I am sensing a pattern here. Maybe I should go do some laundry.
HA… I have some in the dryer right now…
This post is making me sad 😦 I counted only three people saying they want to see other things, but I like it. Maybe you should give a poll on what your readers want to read, since you are interested in your readers 🙂 But I would vote the arts 😛
I should probably say that I am going to be really busy for the next couple weeks anyway… and can’t be around as much as I would like… and that, while I might cut down by a post or two per day for a while, we all know dang well that I am going back to my crack squirrel-fueled ways pretty darn soon… HA! But thanks for the kind words.
Yeay! Kathbirali (That’s squirrel in Bangla,LOL try to say it :P)!
You’re welcome 😀
you crack me up
