Funny, because the post the day before that did really well. For the past year, I've been flirting with view numbers in the teens. Would I like to have view number in the dozens like I one time did?
Sure.
Is it worth worrying about?
Not really.
I've explained several times since I started this blog back in 2011 the reasons I write and more importantly, why I continue posting a blog on a daily basis. I write this mostly to keep writing. A bad habit a writer can have is to stop writing. By making sure I write everyday, that habit can be held at bay. Plus, I consider this blog to be sort of a journal and a wise man once gave wise council that we should keep and write in a daily journal. I do that on paper, too, but the electronic one allows me a level of creativity the paper one does not.
As long as writing daily is my goal, the fact that others may like reading it is a bonus. Now, I know these posts can be a bit dry...a nice way to say boring. I came to terms with the fact that some (many...) of the posts are boring. I try to make them as interesting as possible, but, well...that's the way it goes, sometimes.
I suppose that's why only getting a few views from yesterday's post caught my attention. I liked writing yesterday's post. It was fun writing about Chums eyewear retainers because I had a history with the man who invented them and how I'm not the kind of person who uses them as they were intended.
Still, I can't let it get to me. Since I had fun writing it and it's a journal entry, my main goals for putting in the time are already completed.
Sometimes I wonder, as I write a post (like this one...), just how many people will find it interesting enough to click on the link. Who knows? It might even be less than seven. ;)
