THE END OF A VACATION

I must admit that I'm in a bit of a quandary concerning my postings on my recent tropical vacation.  According to Google's record keeping, there have been over 3,000 views of part 3, and over three times that much in total for the 3 parts of this post subject.  That's a total of over 10,000 viewings of these 3 parts.  Part 1 received comments from 4 different viewers, part 2 from 3 different viewers, and part 3 from 1 viewer.  That's a total of 8 comments, 3 of which were from one viewer, out of over 10,000 views.  That doesn't even register as a percentage point on my calculator.


So, what is one to conclude?  On the one hand, I'm gratified that so many people have chosen to view my writings.  On the other hand, I love comments and write these days mostly to get dialogues going with back and forth comments, and am completely in the dark as to how so many people can read these posts and so few actually bother to comment. 


It's very hard for a non-professional writer to put together posts that feature dialogue.  Just the punctuation with all of those quotation marks are challenge enough, and there's the whole problem of being true to the happenings while keeping the post flowing.  It takes me well over twice the time to write something like the "Tropical Vacation" posts than it takes to write a post about some concept or other.


My friend fur sissy has suggested that a certain number of readers simply use these "personal story" posts as masturbatory fodder.  Read, get off and go on to the next.  A wanker's delight, as they say across the pond.  Well, my original idea behind posting when it began about 6 years ago was to provide a source of support and education for  femdom wannabees.  That happened to a small but exciting extent, but it became clear soon enough that my readers were largely male, not female.  Well, that was fine since the comments were interesting and relevant when they came from men as well as women.  I've enjoyed this back and forth tremendously, respond to comments religiously, and all was well.


Something has changed.  I don't know whether it's a result of Google's attempts at censorship, or if everybody is on vacation, or if I'm simply boring the hell out of most readers, but the comments have dried up, at least on my blog.


Well, enough of all that.  It simply goes to explaining why I've lost any desire to go on with the Tropical Vacation remembrance. It simply feels like I'm writing in a vacuum, and that is no fun for me at all.  I do apologize to those very, very few of you who took the time to comment, but enough is quite enough.  I'd rather spend my time reading and commenting on and supporting other writers' blogs, always assuming that they will respond to my comments.  If they don't, I take the hint and go elsewhere.  So, until I once again find a "concept" to write about, I bid you farewell.  The vacation is over.
