Comments on: Write for Yourself (I Comment Therefore I Am) https://byclaudya.com/write-for-yourself-i-comment-therefore-i-am/ Funny San Francisco Latina Blogger Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Vidya Sury https://byclaudya.com/write-for-yourself-i-comment-therefore-i-am/#comment-26793 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:44:00 +0000 http://byclaudya.com/?p=10203#comment-26793 You are absolutely right. I’ve always held that people come over to see you and not themselves. I believe that I should write for myself, too.
Yet… so hard not to feel a twinge of sadness at an “unsubscribe” alert. Makes me wonder…what happened? 😀

Hugs. Love you, Claudya and the way you blog!

That’s why I write. Sure, I want people to like my writing, too, but as you said, that’s not the first priority. I just write because I want to write. It’s the same with music. I played the piano and keyboard for almost all of my adult life, sometimes for audiences and sometimes for an audience of one.

 I agree.  I don’t know the percentage but most visitors do not leave comments.  I’ve had people who know me, send an email about a post instead of leaving a comment.

Yup. I also think that you just won’t keep at it if you are not doing it for yourself.

I’m glad it was timely. Most of the time I write what I need to write, so it is timely for me as well.

That is so key…your writing should resonate with you. It’s easy to forget that when you’re busy trying to please others. My twitter tagline on twitter is, “Blissfully blogging about whatever I choose.” That’s what blogging is about…what the writer chooses.

No, it’s not all spambots. A lot of people just don’t comment. I used to be really hung up on comments too and now I’m just happy to get what I get. I’ve learned from speaking to people in my “real life” that they read regularly, but they never leave comments. That’s okay, at least they are reading.

I think the moment you start writing your blog for your readers and not yourself, is the moment to stop blogging.
