More On My Blogger Boredom And Lack Of Commenting
It could be something as simple as springtime. Our church attendance is down. Our weekly class attendance is dropping. These are relatively normal things that happen this time of year in our community. The weather gets nicer and folks get outside more and they're at baseball/softball/soccer practice and not sitting in front of computers or are too tired for that class they signed up for in the doldrums of winter.
It could be that when you talk about taking your kid to a concert that it's easy to have an opinion and determine what you might do in that situation. Kind of like politics. It's easy to have quick and thoughtful and passionate opinions. And, when you write about something that makes people think, there's going to be silence. Like when a teacher asks a really good question there should be an awkward silence...seems like a good question would require a thoughtful response.
It could be that blogging has simply played out. Too verbal. Not enough flash. Like reading books is to watching DVD's or movies.
It could be that with colleges and high schools spring breaking this month that folks are not checking the blogs as much because they're busy with family and such.
It could be that I need to be more creative with this space. Maybe my writing's boring others because it's not "fresh" enough to me. I mean, certain themes are bound to repeat when you write every day for four years or so. Maybe I should take more chances. Try new approaches. I have some ideas.
It could be that I'd like to try a side project...kind of like Burnside Writers Collective. That's a neat little project and I could get kind of excited about working with a bunch of other folks on a weekly project like that one. Just a bunch of writers kicking around ideas on themes. I'm not much for the page management & tech stuff it'd need, but I could edit and write, I think. Wonder who'd be with me on that?
I dunno...
...I just really like community in all it's forms and when the comments slow to a snail's pace I wonder if The Diner's little community has had enough of me and/or each other.
