I Deserve a Break Today

This is my 36th blog post. It will be the last, for a while at least. I have enjoyed writing my nearly daily posts and will continue in personal journal form. It’s been very therapeutic.

Unfortunately, over the past two weeks my blog has been under a consistent dwindle of readership. Maybe my writing quality has declined. Maybe my stories haven’t been as interesting. Maybe people just don’t have two minutes to spare in this busy world.

For the first five weeks I averaged about 20 daily readers. Now I am down to about 8 hardy souls. I appreciate their endurance!  On the plus side, my blog has been read throughout the United States and even in Europe and Africa!! There have been 818 views of my blogposts.

But….the dwindle.  I have been trying to think of how I may have contributed to this decline.  Was it too unfocused? Should I stick to one theme?  Should it be weekly rather than daily?  Was it too personal? Was it not personal enough?  Should I have not avoided political rants?  Did I talk about my hometown too often?

I would love to hear opinions from my readers. Well, at least from the Hardy Eight! I will take these into consideration as I think about a revamped blog.

The sun just came out in Schnecksville! Or as George Harrison once said, “Here comes the Sun!  It’s all right.”
