It makes my posts more natural and means I'm writing for me - not some "others" who may or may not visit.Jayniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17240533482754091426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-25952616735816155842007-07-03T20:49:00.000-04:002007-07-03T20:49:00.000-04:00I started blogging four (!) years ago mostly for m...I started blogging four (!) years ago mostly for myself. So far, it's been fun when people have stopped in to participate. I do look at the stats. It's been fun to watch them grow.<BR/><BR/>I don't have many set themes. I try not to be repetitive. I am frequently surprised at the posts that generate comment -- or lack of comment.<BR/><BR/>I have begun to use the programmed posting more. I usually choose my Friday snippet the weekend before and post it to publish Friday after midnight.<BR/><BR/>I've gathered enough of a followership that I don't have to seek external plugs for my BookPack giveaways, but I'd still like to give them to all the entrants, because it's simply fun to give books away.<BR/><BR/>I hope this post doesn't mean your cursor has been hovering over the "Delete this Blog Button." (As Jean glares sternly into the monitor...Jean's been glaring a lot lately, so it's coming more naturally to her. Yes, she needs a large chill pill, and there's a few people who know just how and where it should be inserted...)<BR/><BR/>Happy Fourth.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805501348812702651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-64169503753608730132007-07-03T13:42:00.000-04:002007-07-03T13:42:00.000-04:00Just went back and read Filtered again and I still...Just went back and read Filtered again and I still think it's funny. And I agree with Shiloh. Pimping is a sig line that's ten lines long that you use when you email everyone--including your friends. You didn't pimp your interview. In fact I can't think of a single time you've pimped yourself.Sofie Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830230500527705589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-63448623184442461812007-07-03T11:18:00.000-04:002007-07-03T11:18:00.000-04:00Thank you for the very helpful hints.

I love doing the Thursday 13, you get to meet new people learn some interesting things. I'll try some of your other suggestions and see how they work out.<BR/>P.S. May, I may not always comment on your blog (I usually don't unless I have something to contribute to the discussion other than "Hi"), but I do always read your blog, and I for one will miss it if you delete it. That said, I understand if you can't continue once you get to university.

Pimping is listing every award that you've, known and unknown. Pimping is having a blog post where every other line reminds the readers that you have this uber cool interview that they absolutely must read.<BR/><BR/>:PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-45573265927316159912007-07-03T09:50:00.000-04:002007-07-03T09:50:00.000-04:00I too, see many blogs I love fail.

I've seriously considered shutting it down several times now--especially since my second blogiversary is looming. <BR/><BR/>I keep wondering if my perpetual running around having people blog for me is a symptom of the fact that I am bored or a symptom of something else--no idea what that something else is. <BR/><BR/>Either way, once I'm off to university, I won't be blogging every day. Time to practice what I preach to blogging friends who wanna quit.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185883760690309984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-41879205295608342402007-07-03T09:08:00.000-04:002007-07-03T09:08:00.000-04:00"Five of my favorite posts: Pride & Publishing, Ma..."Five of my favorite posts: Pride & Publishing, Mary Sue Anonymous, The Devil's Publishing Dictionary, The Last Samurai Agent and The Escapist Artist -- almost all of them are parodies, so I guess I know what I like to write.

I just wrote posts to write them, and usually I wrote them to talk to myself. I figured if someone came along and got some value out of my posts, more power to them. I was getting value just writing them. I look at my stats now, and I get a little bummed if the stats drop, but I'm still writing the blog for myself. And hey, I'm happy with that. =o)B.E.

I'm not burned out on blogging yet, but I am trying to figure out how to grow mine. All good ideas, here and at RTB.
