Miracle

So my blog just hit 11,000 pageviews.  I know this is only due to the fact that I have ten really devoted followers who refresh my home page a hundred or so times each time they visit. So for those dedicated few I want to say thank you. Sincerely, without your support it would be hard to keep doing what I do. Thank you for visiting my small corner of the internet. The page views are great, but the best thing is hearing face-to-face how you laughed or cried or thought deeply about something I've written. I write for myself, but I also write to share with others, and I am grateful for your support.

That said, a little commentary on some trends I've noticed. I like getting attention for my humorous posts, and they get a lot of response. My posts about love garnered some minor interest from people who know me. My poetry must be terrible because it seems mostly ignored. But far and away the most interesting thing that has happened with my blog was the recent post about women. The response was incredible. That post was shared over and over and that post was marked by a 250% increase in the number of views over my other posts. This is interesting and is a testimony to me that what I wrote was true, potent, and most of all it was relevant.

I like giving people what they want, so I want to post something along that same vein a little more often. Not so often that I would come off as pandering to my readers, but I think there is more to be said. I'm also going to try to post more often. Since I am now an alumnus I have no more excuses. So hold me to it. And I don't plan on stopping poetry posts. I figure if I force feed you, you'll grow to like them. Also if anyone is interested in reading snippets of my fiction, let me know so I can tell you it's not ready yet.
