Or, they leave a comment such as, "Nice blog." Well, what's nice about it? The most frustrating thing is when people come to my blog and read my posts, but don’t leave comments.

There were times where I almost quit because comments were coming. I would be lying if I still didn't feel disappointed when the comments don't come, but I don't let it get me upset anymore. I've gotten to a place where I can be happy with what I wrote even if I don't get a lot of comments. I tell myself (even if it's not true) that people are reading not commenting and that's good enough. I have also found that belonging to Twitter and Facebook has helped me overcome the comment let down. I think a lot of it is the desire to talk with others and I get my "fix" there. :) <abbr><em>Debbie Yost´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.my3weddings.com/2009/04/taking-break.html" rel="nofollow">Taking a Break</a></em></abbr> In the beginning I checked my e-mail constantly.

Hi Jannie - Well put - blogging is the most divine hobby. :) Hi Barb - Yes, those who comment on our posts do "finish" our work. Often it's the comment section where the meat is at, and where we can go to finish processing our original thought. Pretty awesome, isn't it?

Hi Barb – Yes, those who comment on our posts do “finish” our work. Often it’s the comment section where the meat is at, and where we can go to finish processing our original thought. Pretty awesome, isn’t it?

I'd keep writing because, as Davina said, I write because I must. It helps me to think. As painting helps me to see. But the people connection is exciting to me. I love good conversation, and I'm finding it through a growing network of blogs. It's awesome when it comes in my door and lands for a few minutes. Like Pat, I continue to process after publishing and am eager to read others' thoughts. Commenters complete the posts. And sometimes extend them into future writing. <abbr><em>Barb Hartsook´s last blog post..<a href="http://paintedgenerations.com/blog/2009/04/snowy-track-meets-take-me-back-to-the-old-days/" rel="nofollow">Snowy Track Meets Take Me Back to the Old Days</a></em></abbr> Hi Barbara.
