I have been informed that it has been too long since last I posted. Though it seems like no one ever reads my blog it does make me feel a bit better when I am told such things, because it gives lie to the assumption that I only do it to see myself write.
So there is a question when you are creating a blog and putting down your thoughts: Is it of intrinsic worth and value, or is it simply an exercise in indulgence where you can just prattle on and on about mostly nothing excessively with little or no regard to grammar, punctuation or the joys of brevity?
Now that I put this down of course, one or more people are going to assume that I am talking directly or indirectly about them. Maybe I am (I am) but, maybe it's just further evidence of these peoples' arrogance and assumption that everything indeed is about them.
But as my friends they cannot help but influence my writing and opiniations. Is this bad? No. I think it is not.
I think the true value of reading and writing blogs is learning through them how to write and perhaps how not to. I do try to be somewhat entertaining and I hope that I succeed more often then I fail, but that is really up to the reader no?
Looking back at my blog I saw that I had very accurately commented that it would likely be a forum for me to complain and vent in. It's very useful that way.
Some days I am even grumpy when I have had nothing go on that I can complain about. Let's face it, those are the most entertaining posts.
In closing I ask myself a few questions:
1. am I overly self-indulgent in my writing
2. am I improving in my writing
3. other than ranting and raving, and maybe the occasional homo-improvement post, am I entertaining
4. do I bore people
5. are my posts too long and pedagogic
6. are they the opposite; too short and obtuse
7. because seven is supposed to be a karmic spiritual number, should I edit more, both for length and spelling/grammar/punctuation errors
All these questions and more run through my mind every time I post.
Maybe I shouldn't concern myself too much with such petty concerns, but if I hope to garner or maintain an audience I think they are paramount. So I shall ruminate on them a bit more, and hopefully not as much time will pass between now and my next post. If I am lucky maybe some punk/q-tip will cut me off in traffic and give me grist to mill on my mortar and pestle of a blog.
