Jenny of “Jenny in Neverland” published a very interesting view on blogs and followers. I thought I’d reblog and give as many readers as possible a chance to let their opinion hear about this. Thank you Jenny.
Having followers and readers is great. I won’t lie. When I started my blog, although I loved writing book reviews and enjoyed it immensely, I would often dream about having a decent amount of followers who I could get to know, exchange comments with and build a rapport with. I would grow green with envy at the bloggers who had hundreds, sometimes thousands of followers. Who would receive comment after comment on their latest post and who would constantly be chatting to people all over the blogosphere. I realised that although I loved writing and reading – followers were something I wanted too.

I wouldn’t, does seem much point if there’s no one there to appreciate what you write. There are just so many lovely people who you may never meet otherwise.

I know what you mean. Other than therapeutically the value of blogging would be quite low… 🙂

Yes, and I do. I do not have thousands or even hundreds of followers but yet I blog. I get my memoirs and stories posted. They are now out there for anyone to read. I wrote a book, it did not do that well but it is out there. It would be nice to have more followers but if it does not happen I will still blog.
I have met some wonderful people and read some marvelous poetry and stories and books. When I am gone my words will still be out there. :o)

I too think it is important to have thousands of followers (of course it helps though… but I too met amazing people through my blogging and I don’t want to miss them anymore! Thanks for leaving your comment!

Yes, I would blog. It is an extension of my writing. However, having someone to write for helps get me out of bed some days.
