Might Blogging Have Peaked?
I know I need to write an entry so my few audience members don't have to suffer seeing a nutria every time they click here.Also, on Keith Olbermann tonight, they reported the average readership of most blogs was a grand total of: ONE. So, like, you write your blog, then you read it. Count = one. Sad.
Then I click over to Driftglass and see that he's reliably written again today - and created a customized photo to boot! I applaud his creative instincts and his ability to control his time. I don't have either of those.
:)
Yet, Drifty writes passages that are too long for me to read anymore. I write an average of 500 words in a post. That's manageable. The four-screen essays scare me away. And, if I were to write them, I'd think I was asking a lot of my audience for reading that much. Aren't we all really busy?
Something to look forward to this week on my blog: photos of my sprained/broken wrist as it gets more and more black and blue. Yee-ha!! It only took four hours at the "urgent care center" to get the diagnosis I had given myself... only then to be told that most breaks don't show up in the first 48 hours, so I should come back and DO IT ALL AGAIN in ten days if the pain hasn't subsided. Fabulous. I love the health care that expensive private insurance companies give us. It's so... workable.
That's the deal. It's a Monday. Whaddayawant? I have a big project due Wednesday. My life shall return after that and I'll try to be more... prescient. Wise. Shocking. Naked.
And think about my duty as a blogger. If you ain't doin' it every day, you ain't bloggin'. Maybe we all peaked a few months ago and it's all downhill from here. Maybe DailyKos has killed my blogging. Maybe our massive need to hear our own voices echoing in the well has subsided.
Maybe there will be no Blogger Oscars after all.

OK I'll bite... What the heck happened to your wrist? Do you have the dreaded 'wrist karma', or is it mere coincidence that you've had wrist issues the last couple of years?
Re: Driftglass....
He's a virtuoso, and guys like that have to put out a lot of material. It's like Jimi Hendrix... he didn't play a lot of 2 and 3 minute songs. Dude needed room to stretch out and fill the air with his ideas. Different strokes and all that, eh? Nice to see you writing....
I fell on some broken sidewalk walking the dog the other night. Landed hard.
Re: Drifty - He's an artist. The language is lucky to be used by the likes of him. No slam intended.
I just am noticing my lower attention span for lots of blog reading these days. Maybe due to DKos reading, which I check several times a day and skim. And come away feeling everything that could possibly said on a subject HAS BEEN SAID, so why should I write about it too?
Maybe one kind of blogging has just peaked for me... and the community blog is where this will end up.
Don't know. Just thinkin.
