In the beginning, I didn't even KNOW about followers - I just wrote. Then I became OBSESSED with followers. I've lost 2, and still worry about why they left. One I didn't even know - I checked my blog one day and my number had increased by one and the next day, that number was down one.<br /><br />So, you're right - just blog and be happy about what you write.<br /> <br />For a long time, I made the mistake of trying to visit everyone on my list every time they posted - and there simply weren't enough hours in the day. Now I try to break my list up - I'll visit A - H this week, etc. <br /><br />Still spending waaaay too much time on the computer. But reading other blogs makes for better writing, too. And THAT is what I'm doing now - trying to improve my writing skills. And I enjoy it.<br /><br />So there.<br /><br />By the way, you cats are beautiful. Ollie looks like my Spooky (who writes for me when I'm on vacation or just too tired) and Clementine (love it!) looks just like my dear departed Tabitha. Poor Tabitha - we never discovered what became of her - we moved to the country and she stayed hidden under the bed the entire first day. My husband (grrrrrrrr) decided she needed to be out in the fresh air, and chased her out with a broom, with me chasing after him hollering, "She's scared! It's moving day!" and we never saw here again. I like to think that she was taken in by one of the wealthy landowners around here (we are not among their numbers) and spent the rest of her days sleeping on a velvet cushion and eating caviar. <br /><br />By the way, your followers just increased by one!ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346069813736957505.post-42020606129664349722011-02-07T21:50:19.490-05:002011-02-07T21:50:19.490-05:00first visit, back at ya! you are one funny woman....first visit, back at ya! you are one funny woman. I'll be back, for sure. <br /><br />As I am a new blogger, I particularly appreciate your comments about what blogging is, and isn't. I am still in the "it's for me" stage, but today I got a bunch of new readers, so it is a good time to remind myself of the fact that blogs are not popularity contests, but a place to do what you set out to do. ;o)spindrift,mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845805725532707460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346069813736957505.post-18099481031034004852010-10-28T19:59:09.110-05:002010-10-28T19:59:09.110-05:00Loved this post.

I've known quite a few folks who cater to their audience instead of making true, genuine expressions from their heart. It's not necessarily a bad thing... everyone comes at it in different ways. It's just that the audience is a fickle thing and it's a lot harder to keep hundreds of people happy instead of just one person... yourself.<br /><br />Thank you for your insights!Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346069813736957505.post-32271900407735591882009-08-01T09:28:51.255-05:002009-08-01T09:28:51.255-05:00You hit the nail on the head!You hit the nail on the head!Jody Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822023313529125586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346069813736957505.post-88481421788912820392009-07-29T14:34:02.612-05:002009-07-29T14:34:02.612-05:00Well said, who cares if you lose a follower or 20 ...Well said, who cares if you lose a follower or 20 it's about YOU and your life and writing and making friends...Mariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952616489949080213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346069813736957505.post-49453406382395356392009-07-28T08:49:02.039-05:002009-07-28T08:49:02.039-05:00Woman, we need an update!!! =) Hope you are doing ...Woman, we need an update!!! =) Hope you are doing well..thanks for keeping up with me and still reading my blog!
