I've been visiting some of blogger's 'blogs of note.' Every single blogger is ridiculously pleased to be featured, to have people comment, even argue with them. Blogging is an invitation to a conversation, to a community that can be built around that conversation. It means so much to have someone comment on your site, especially if you don't know them. It is just so validating. I need an outlet, I want to play with words, and I want a reaction. I want to create something that people want to read. Working through this frustration, what feedburner (who provides stats on visits to my sites) calls "0 reach", I hope will make me better at something I love to do.
We'll see.

Don't ever stop blogging! I LOVE reading your stuff. Have you ever thought that sometimes people don't comment for the same reason that you are self-conscious that they haven't. Just like when you blog, you don't want to write to no one, sometimes I'm afraid to share my random two thoughts that were provoked by your blog because do I really want to put my thoughts out there for someone to read and judge? Whatever you do, don't stop writing. I love the way you frame things and I always love your point of view. Ninjas rule!
Ninjas do rule and yes, it does occur to me that a degree of self-consciousness may account for the crickets sounds that follow most of my posts. But I still want to know that someone is out there so thank you for commenting.
