I find I follow heaps of blogs that I don't actually get around to reading, but when I do get around to checking out those I am following yours is always the first one I check to see if there is a new post. I love the way you write and your sense of humour, if you lived in Melbourne we would definitely be friends :-)Nerdycomputergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12467261957808758251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483876112210948240.post-60973673666049898822012-02-11T12:42:01.859-05:002012-02-11T12:42:01.859-05:00I just came here from "Distraction TIme"...I just came here from "Distraction TIme" and I know how you feel.

I've missed you.
I u...Yay, you're back!!! I've missed you.<br /><br />I used to struggle with my place in the blog world too. I'd always do the comparison thing and my blog/writing never seemed to match up. But then one day I realized that I had followers and people who regularly commented and decided that was all I needed.sprinkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081967372702276914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483876112210948240.post-74121968550087904442012-02-04T17:06:11.859-05:002012-02-04T17:06:11.859-05:00Welcome back!

I do know what you mean about the whole blogger popularity contest, although I think part of me actually likes only having 10 followers, because I feel less self-conscious about what I post. <br /><br />Good to have you back anyway, I'm looking forward to your posts! xxLiz Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627528186914332213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483876112210948240.post-66394811668476128292012-02-03T17:42:13.337-05:002012-02-03T17:42:13.337-05:00This is my two cents:

SECOND, it is VERY difficult not to get swept up in the whole "why does she have a zillion followers when my stuff is TWICE as good as hers and I only have 80 people following me?" And then I realized I am FIFTY-ONE, Dammit! Why am I STILL comparing myself to other people? Is this fricking MIDDLE SCHOOL? No. I write because it's fun. I write because I like the people to whom I subscribe. I write because if I didn't, I'd just be talking to myself. And it kepps me from drinking myself inot oblivion. (Just kidding about that last one. Sort of.) Anyway, like they said to Kotter: welcome back.Kirby Carespodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950841302720270756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483876112210948240.post-60597122091700395502012-02-03T16:35:46.328-05:002012-02-03T16:35:46.328-05:00I almost left blogging for the same reason. I was...I almost left blogging for the same reason. I was sad that I didn't have the gazillion readers, private jet or even anyone sending me free crap. Probably crap that I didn't really want and would never endorse anyway, but still. Finally I just went back to writing for the reasons I wanted to write. I wanted to start a blog so that I had a place to write my drivel, all the words that bounce around my head...so that's what I do now. I also realize the readers I do have that interact with me on Twitter, My Blog, Their Blogs, FB...those are the only readers I'd really want anyone. Good ones.rhonda https://www.blogger.com/profile/16825186760881892669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483876112210948240.post-85430018174158781832012-02-03T13:05:04.864-05:002012-02-03T13:05:04.864-05:00Having now read.....

We all would like to be successful and have loads of cash coming in - of course we would - but when that is the only focus then something is lost. i always get frustrated when I look on blogs and they are getting 50 thousand comments etc but i can't see why.. some writers are brilliant and you understand straight away why they are popular - but others... <br /><br />I flatter myself hugely when i say that I think you are a bit like me. quality. funny. clever. open. undervalued and under-read.<br /><br />I had a bit of a turn last year, when I lost all faith and almost stopped. when I realised that I couldn't beat the system and just had to get over it and write simply because i like writing and love just occasionally being read, I got over it.<br />Write.<br />Because you want to.<br />Afetr that - everything's a bonus.<br /><br />ps - don't leave it so long till the next one ;-)Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562111165943505509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483876112210948240.post-75803307045596663452012-02-03T12:57:02.956-05:002012-02-03T12:57:02.956-05:00Not that I've been waiting for this....Not that I've been waiting for this....Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562111165943505509noreply@blogger.com
