So, a few days ago, as I researched info on how to vlog, and do so successfully I came across an article on vlogging and decided to read it since vlogging is video blogging.
According to the writer of that article, one should engage their blog audience by replying to comments in a few ways, and interact with readers through the writing of entries by asking questions and things of that nature.
Now, I began to wonder, "Do I actually have a "following?" When I say 'following' I do not mean Xandria, an former classmate of mine, and Allyshia, a commenter who makes me feel more human.
When writing blog entries I do not think about the audience per se...I think about it to the extent that...it is hard to explain. The way I see my blog is as me speaking to myself. In other formats of writing, I place myself in an environment, focus on a thought and/or feeling to the point of potency which I require or feel satisfied with. Then, and only then do I write. I hide (that was a typo, but it suits to an extent), guide the piece to the point I desire for it to communicate the exact feeling to the reader.
However, blogging is much different. This entry is being written (was, when you read it) in a conference room during the lunch break of a workshop. I decided on the purpose of the blog: to ask if I do have followers , and for a response. That was on Sunday, or Saturday evening, I think. I attempted to write it quite a few times and was to busy. But this is about as much planning and to be honest, the most I have ever done.
Generally, I am about to explode whether in anger, sadness, ecstasy, and I come here if I am not too busy. Or, it may occur to me that I haven't blogged in a while and that I should....so I do. It may be a sentence or a sizeable bit. That all depends on my emotions and how busy I am.
So...blogging here for me isn't about being famous or having a 'following'. it is about being me, saying exactly what I have on my mind. I do not edit my thoughts, and neither do I for these blog entries.
But...the question is:
Do you read my posts?
Do you read them regularly? Do you come back once in a while considering my entries are far and few between?
If you are returning once again, even it is your second time, why?
And thank you for reading.
Peace, and Blessings
