Letters I can Never Send: To my readers

 I logged into my blogger account the other day and saw that I had reached a total of 817 followers to date, and over 9000 hits. WOW. I barely even look at the counter since most of my posts are made from my phone, from a random thought during the day when the inspiration to write hits me. So I am sure that you could imagine the look on my face when I logged in via laptop and saw my stats for the first time in almost 7 months on this site. 800? Me? Really? Of all people. Now my work in fictionpress is a tapestry of fiction woven with the silks of my imagination, so I expected the massive amount of readers that I have there, but my blogspot? It's pretty much a dull online diary where I ramble about the world and the way I see it. How could anyone find the way I see the world interesting? Well interesting enough to alert themselves whenever I decided to ramble again. I don't know why, but you did. I owed you guys something so... Notice anything different! Yes you do. NEW SITE. Unlike one of my bros, I am no web designer, but I felt like a different look was needed It's not as tricked out as my wordpress but atleast it won't be as painful to navigate. I sat up, all night (having to work at 6am the next day) and worked with a bro of mine to get my site just right. My own personal thank you.


As an occasional writer, one of the greatest feelings comes from knowing that what you wrote had a positive impact on someone. The ability to relate to others – many of whom live halfway across the globe – has always meant a great deal to me, and so when one of my stories receives a lot of comment, or a blog receives alot of attention, and comments (or even just a few really heartfelt ones), I can’t help but smile. I love when someone tells me that what I wrote means something.

I started blogging at Blogspot years ago because I wanted a place to share my writing openly with the world. Of course, I never thought I’d have more than five readers. After adding a WordPress last year, and a FictionPress, as well as a Fanfiction page , I’ve been able to slowly develop a following and interact with my readers and I've loved it all so far. I love when my fanfiction and fiction press readers message me just see when I will update again, or to ask me why a character acts a certain way, and if there will be a "happily ever after" or when my wordpress  followers share their jungle stories, or debate with me on what works and dosen't.

So far, as a blogger, I’ve learned that the greatest joy in writing is not merely sharing your story with others, but letting those others in to share their stories with you. As much as I love to write on my own time, I would not enjoy blogging nearly as much if I didn’t have such wonderful, interactive and loyal readers as you. Thank you all for making it an experience worthwhile. I hope that as time goes on I will be able to do the same for you!

Thank You,
