…but I have to scale back
For a while, at least.
In the past few months my visits to your blogs have been intermittent at best; and in the past two weeks, almost non-existent. I struggle to find the time but I don’t want to neglect you. Not returning your visits is bad manners and I apologise. Interaction is a huge part of what makes blogging fun; no interaction, and it’s just me talking at you. I have battled guilt about it; guilt always wins. That has reduced my enjoyment of blogging.

I have decided to take the advice I always give to other bloggers who make these sort of Help! I’m drowning in unanswered comments! posts – if you’re not enjoying blogging, then stop. I’m feeling a little burned out by blogging and it’s not as much fun as it used to be.
If you see me as rutilant – as I hope you do – you will naturally be devastated by my announcement, so I should make one thing clear:
I am not giving up blogging
- I will continue to post my daily joke
- I will post at least twice a week
- More, if I feel like it
- I will answer comments if I can
- I will not visit you every day but I will try to visit more than I have been doing
- I will understand if you decide to leave me, but don’t be surprised if I cry
If you don’t want the hassle of checking in every day in the understandable but forlorn hope that I might have deigned to talk to you today, you can always subscribe – third widget on the right then straight on for mourning.
Subscribers up = visits down but taking a hit on my hits is the least I deserve for my despicable dereliction of blogging duty.
I hope this is just a temporary situation and you’ll hang around to find out. But I’m selfish like that.
Happy blogging!

Pleonastic – the use of more words than are necessary to express an idea. Guilty as charged. Always.
Quoz – something queer or absurd. Again, guilty as charged.
