Sad to know the main reason for not being around. I'm sorry to learn about your unsuccessful attempts to get your work published. It must have been very much upsetting. I know not many but a few cases like yours. Not always what we find on sale at booksellers is worthy paying for... <br />Don't feel discouraged and keep on writing...

The problem I find with some sites, and Blogger is one of them, is that it's not easy to follow someone. I think Astra is kind of having the same kind of issue right now. As for me, I don't think anyone has ever come to my BlogSpot that I didn't specifically send a link and ask to read my few stories.<br /><br />Word Press seem a bit more community oriented, and I have had people visit that I don't know. There are other problems with it, of course.<br /><br />I still like Blogster because of ease of use, as long as you avoid the idiots.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060360096508998459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-4179596940684763922013-05-09T05:15:56.606+05:302013-05-09T05:15:56.606+05:30I hope this didn't publish twice, I wasn't...I hope this didn't publish twice, I wasn't signed in before.<br /><br />To be honest, I read few of your stories but what I did read I liked.

Just continue and see it as doing what must be done, without asking for any reward. Maybe they'll discover you some day, when you're old or even when you'll be dead... maybe never.

It really is. A writer writes, and damn the agents and other cheap cocksuckers who get paid to say 'no'.<br /><br />Sad that Multiply died - but now you know you have a hard-core of readers who care no matter what.<br /><br />(By the way - I'm thinking of dialing my own site up a notch...)astranavigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182458764131811634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-34905386721577439982013-05-09T01:19:57.361+05:302013-05-09T01:19:57.361+05:30I remember reading a story of yours, rather longis...I remember reading a story of yours, rather longish. I was supposed to be weeding my lily bed, so I would dig a section and then reward myself with reading a section of your story. Dig a bit, read a bit. Except the story got so interesting I gave up, left the lilies to their own devices and read the entire thing. I so hope I commented.<br /><br />For what it is worth I read and enjoy (or agree with in anger) everything you have written and the Raghead cartoons as well. Coward that I am (and remembering how letters I wrote during the anti-war movement of the 60's/70's in the US were intercepted by the State Police) I probably haven't commented on ol' Raghead. I should. It's a brilliant series. <br /><br />Please keep writing, this platform sucks as it does not allow the kind of interaction that Multiply did, but please keep writing. benni https://www.blogger.com/profile/09942386013237815777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-53727810471233867342013-05-09T00:48:27.393+05:302013-05-09T00:48:27.393+05:30First of all, it's great to see you back.

I don't need anyone to tell me that i can get an idea across.<br /><br />On the other hand, it can be frustrating when it becomes apparent that a) I could have a bigger audience with some bland pictures or political cut & pastes, or b) people have gotten way farther than me on way less.<br /><br />I'll keep writing for fun - by which I mean for free, because it's not always that fun - and hope for the best. <br /><br />I hope you do, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323871207793126503noreply@blogger.com
