So glad to know I'm not the only one that grapples with what my blog *is* and *isn't* and the whole stupid comment thing. I've been disappointed in myself for how much weight I put on the comment portion of the blog in the beginning. It's getting better. I suspect it's a blogging metamorphosis that all must pass through? <BR/><BR/>And with all that I'll tell you that many times I've clicked over to your blog from Cjanes and loved what you've written. And then I can't think of even ONE clever thing to say in the comment section. So I think about it for a minute and conclude that I don't need any more pressure in my life... so I leave without commenting. sad, sad. You've gotta admit, it seems the regular commenters here are pretty freakin' clever. Is that a Provo thing? (that was kinda clever, don't you think?) ha. <BR/><BR/>So the point of this novel-size comment is this: love your blog, love your honesty. Hope you keep writing.Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14913067924030367632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-73979862741705894722007-09-05T09:01:00.000-06:002007-09-05T09:01:00.000-06:00Thanks, tori!

Some of the things you mentioned are the exact reasons I never follow through on my thought to start a blog. Who would it be for? But sometimes I think I need to rant, rave, vent to more than just those in my immediate vicinity. And to get comments from people not in my line of life. Anyway, I am glad you are back.

There are so many unseen and unheard participants in our lives, others who love, adore, relate, and care. Whether you get obvious feedback or not, you (and they with you) are creating something important as you articulate and reveal your life.Geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928364622023202837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-23557797211861442632007-08-31T22:50:00.000-06:002007-08-31T22:50:00.000-06:00hey you.

I've gone the rounds with that one too--not so much over how many comments, but rather who's not leaving comments. When longtime friends seem to comment on every post but mine, sometimes I can't help wondering if they hate my writing or if I somehow bore or offend them. It's weird and insecure, I know. But it is what it is. And so is my blog.<BR/><BR/>In any case, I love your voice. I love that you keep it real. I think we need more of that in blogland, not less.
