Where Have I Been?

Well, let me tell you.

I enjoy writing for this blog, but I don’t have the chutzpah to do all the extra marketing involved to keep it high in the rankings.  If I had the time - or the inclination - I could spread my blog address far and wide on the Internet and compel people here to read all about my writing adventures.  The problem is that I’m a busy writer with a lot of other stuff on my plate, so although I wrote relatively consistently my blog didn’t get much notice because I just want to write; I don’t want to spend hours on Twitter making sure everyone knows I have a blog.

I know, I know…it’s a weakness. 

As page views go down, so does the pay.  I’m not complaining, and I certainly understand when the people who own the blog decide to lower pay because the writer isn’t out pulling in more visitors (who also become potential customers to click on ads, of course).  I just don’t think I have so much clever stuff to say that I should sit down and write it when hardly anyone’s reading it and I’m barely getting paid anything at all to do it.

So as I concentrate on my paid jobs and my novel I put my low-paying blog on hold.  If I come up with something brilliant then I’ll let you know.
