Still a little taken aback by my loss of readership, I can’t deny it. It’s only habit though. I got used to seeing numbers in the thousands, now I see them in the hundreds for a month, maybe ten a day. At some level I kick myself for watching the numbers at all. Sort of like the polls for the presidential race. While they were democrat leaning, I liked them. When they turned negative and when the Donald (sort 0f ) won, I felt bad, like I’d been betrayed somehow.\u00a0I guess it shows I care whether anybody pays attention to what I write.<\/p>\n
On the other hand it confirms why I write, oddly. I write to express myself, to give voice to my inner world, because it’s what I do. Even though I care about readers I don’t require them to write. Witness my now 8 novels which grace banker’s boxes or live in bytes on this computer and in the cloud. I still love to write, find it important for my own journey.<\/p>\n
