Random Thoughts About My Blogging

August 11, 2011 By Carole

  • I think my blog used to be a lot more entertaining than it is these days.
  • I think this because yesterday I was searching the blog for the date of my last colonoscopy (it was January of 2007 so I am due to go again next year) and I read some of those posts from back then and they seemed a lot better than anything I am writing now.
  • Maybe I’ve run out of stuff to blog about.
  • Or maybe work is just busier than it was in those days and my creative writing juices get sucked out of me because of that.
  • I also noticed that I used to get a lot more comments than I do now.
  • The weird thing is that I have more readers than I did back then.
  • Is this the price you pay for becoming popular? Not that I think I’m popular but I do get a lot of hits.
  • And I know that Wordless Wednesday posts won’t generate a lot of comments and posts about knitting will bring you all out of the wood work . . . but still.
  • I’m a comment whore, I suppose.
  • Maybe  it’s time for a contest.
  • I’m going to Fiber Revival for the first time ever this Saturday, maybe I’ll pick up something to give away.
  • That will get the comments flowing, I bet.

    I too am guilty of being a lazy commenter!!
    I love reading your blog and check everyday…I just don’t leave a comment…well that’s going to have to change because I don’t want your blog to go away!!!

    Count me as another of your regular readers/very seldom commenters…also feeling that my comments would usually add little. I found your blog because of the knitting, but I also love the photography and the stories about Hannah. I have a daughter who will be a junior in college this fall and a son who is beginning his freshman year, as well as younger kids. So it’s always interesting to me to read about someone else’s experiences with a child growing and maturing and going out into the world.

    Hi Stranger. I have gone through a lot of ups and downs with my blog and haven’t posted in a really long time. I seriously considered giving it up, but I’ve decided to give it one more try and see if I can make it work. I’ve had a lot of changes in my life in the last couple of years, and maybe things are at a point again where I have things to share. I always enjoy your blog and hearing what you’re up to – you inspire me to be a better blogger.

    If it helps, I’m still here and reading because I DO find you very entertaining. My work has changed drastically over the past 6 months and I’m not even knitting anymore. I even forgot my Ravelry login information! I try to catch up on the blogs on weekends and reduced how many I read. Yours is still there because you are lovely, funny, interesting and cool!!

    Oh, I feel bad that I haven’t commented lately. August and May are always busy with school. I enjoy your blog and visit often. I will do better! Love to see what you are knitting too.

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
