A few bloggers I have read have stopped blogging or disappeared. It is one of those minor mysteries where you wonder what may have happened to them. On a certain level you feel that you start to get to know some of them.
I have corresponded with some. A few I have met. I have plans to meet a few more, it is a matter of pulling it off. There are some that I would like to meet.
To those who I read on a daily basis I look forward to your posts.
Thank you. Some comments and a few personal emails have caused me to consider giving up blogging over the ten years I have been at it. Your last sentence comment makes things better fast.
ReplyDeleteI have considered packing it in, especially when there is nothing going on in my life and I struggle to find something worth writing about. But then I remember how much I enjoy the comments and emails and I just have to continue. It is possible to make friends you have never met in person and that, more than anything else, keeps me going.
ReplyDeleteI go back and forth debating myself whether I should stop blogging and just do Instagram... Instagram is easier but I really love reading blogs and figure if I like them others do too and the only way to have blogs to read is for someone to write them.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Bandy;
ReplyDeleteI am still blogging, I find it therapeutic, and it keeps me out of Facebook Jail, Lol. I had thought about instagram, but blogging suits me better, I can tell a better story.
I too have considered quitting blogging, but then I decide just a couple more, and it keeps on going. And I have made friends with people I would otherwise never get to know.
ReplyDeleteThere has been one blogger that I followed for years and then he died in an plane crash. It was like losing a good friend. I still reread his posts, such a wordsmith, such a huge loss. Neptunus Lex
Hi BW,
ReplyDeleteI'm still alive too. I shut down my blog and started a new one but have been reading here still - at least the past few days.
I decided to mix my love of bloggin' with my work/business so I could make it pay at least a little. I was spending so much time writing and posting in a few places I figured I'd better make a bit of a switch to at least justify the time I spend doing it. I'm still pretty young and not ready to retire to a life of writing strictly for enjoyment yet.
You can catch my new blog (where I will still be writing articles but with more of a slant to what I do for a living) at:
www.canadiangunblog.com
In doing this I am officially doxing myself as I am now easily reached in meat space.
I'll add a blog roll shortly to my header widgets and put you in it. Keep on keeping on!
I have found your new blog and I have been reading it. Email me directly sometime.
