i certainly noticed you were gone...but i too have not been very active lately and i noticed a few other folks i like also were not active...i started to think something was in the air and that all passes. doing it for yourself is the only way. and honestly...as sad as this is to say...not having many followers is effected by your small upvote. i could give a shit...but so many look at that. for sure i get followers just because i can give a few more pennies. but so many are just a bullshit. id say i have tops 10 real followers and that took a long while...and they are not always there. so obvioiusly...just keep writing for yourself...i figure i have to write 10 or so blogs before i write something actually good...but it took writing a bunch of blah blah to get there. so yeah...write through those fears....i look forward to seeing you on the other side of them!!
