When I started this little blogging thang, I had nary a thought to how long I’d do it for, nor even if it was for me. Michael (my blogging mentor) has encouraged me over these past few months and if I last, August will be my first year blogoversary.
But I’m honestly wondering if I haven’t run out of gas just short of that milestone. It seems lately, I don’t have a whole lot to say and what I do say is of little consequence. Cripes you could pick up most of my yak from Entertainment Tonight without having to read at all. And the stats show it. They’s a just going, down, down, down.
It’s produced an odd melancholy in me and I honestly don’t know what to do. The thought of not hanging with my blogger buds really bums me out – though the angst of ‘what now?’ being nowhere in my life has a certain appeal.
Am I just going through the terrible two’s of blogging? Is it a phase? Is it seasonal? Is it the tags I’m using or not using? Should I submit my blog to yet another blog directory? Has the popularity of blog readers become such that people no longer need to drop by because they can read from a remote view? My breath, my deodorant, my fat ass? There and many other questions go unanswered – mostly because I don’t think anyone has the answers.
But I’ll tell you, it’s disheartening when you get more hits from the spam bots than from the readers.
And please, make no mistake, this isn’t a pity post, that seeks to illicit sympathy and atta girls. I know you guys love me and I love you. It’s more me – thinking out loud – trying to figure it out.
If anyone has any inside information or understands this more than me, please feel free to speak up. I’m just flummoxed. I’ve no idea.
I really do think that maybe the Writer Chick brand has run its course.

I wonder the same thing. I don’t think you’ve peaked. I think you have A LOT going on right now. One thing I know is that when I came out of the trenches in the real writing world so to speak, I needed to be coddled a bit. That’s was what was great about being on wordpress. I think we have a little group going here that is supportive in its own way. So I know for sure you’d miss it. And we’d miss you. As far as the stats, I think everyone is summering and vacationing right now. I think once the kids are back in school, and the fall sets in, people will be inside more and back on their computers. Or at least I hope so. 🙂
This feeling, while valid, will pass. In the meantime maybe have a Twix, I just ate two. (Bad girl 🙂 ) kim

Ok my dear, let me get a few things straight:
1. Don’t you dare go anywhere, you owe me at least 27 drinks!
2. The moment you don’t have anything to say or that is of little consequence, Dubblya will be voted Amerca’s next top model.
3. Look outside, we have all those rainy and cold days we have no choice but to sit in doors that no moment of summer should be wasted. (Ok, for those fortunate people who live in constantly warm and sunny places, this might not apply). I know I am not around as much, but I live in Igloo country!
4. I’ve plateaued as well, and quite frankly it’s just that one post that keeps getting hundreds of hits a day because anybody who googles ‘heart’ seems to land on my website. But since we aren’t making money off this thing, why do we care about the numbers? (In some moments I confuse the numbers with my value as a writer or a at worst moments my persona – but you’d be yelling at me and cancelling those 27 drinks on me, if I ever mentioned that to you out loud). What we should care about is that we have gotten to know some really cool people, you better be honored to have me show up here as much as I have!
3a. Please add a ‘ 😉 ‘ to above.
4. I do sometimes ask myself if I use this whole blogging experience as a comfort place where I can write without any risks and yet get nice feedback at times. It has allowed me to get some (at times major) satisfaction out of it but bottom line, I haven’t gone out there and used all this time writing towards a writing career for example. Not that I have made this a concrete goal of mine, however I know it would be a dream come true. Guess what I am trying to say is that, I feel that you might be at times struggling with that same thought.
5. Your feelings don’t come from nowhere. Maybe you’re ready for a change. Go with it and trust that we’ll find what we love in you wherever you go.
6. Give yourself permission to slow down. After all, this is supposed to be fun, not something that we need to show up to, like work. Spend some time doing something else. Leave the blogger demons grumbling….. they’re stupid anyway (and if they get too loud, hire Red for a ninja drop kick).
7. You might seriously want to think about serving drinks. Afterall people usually show up when there’s free food and drinks. Trouble is, you might have a hard time getting rid of them….. and reading your lines does make thirsty 😉 .
8. …. I know there are more but now my butt hurts from sitting too long. And I know you don’t want to be responsible for that, do you? 😉
Take care Annie, and we love you.
Hey Spaz,
I owe you 27 beers? I must have lost every debate we’ve had in that case. 😉 Dubya as a top model is a funny thing to think about – though I don’t think he has the bone structure for it. Your #4 gave me pause – I do have concerns about that – I worry I will/am get too comfortable here and will let it be my writing pacifier. I have tried to slow down some, but I think I’m too compulsive to do that – in the 339 days I’ve been a blogger I’ve written 323 posts…
I am immensely honored that you visit, as well as everyone else who does – it’s not about that – but you know that anyway.
Love you too, my friend.

Hi WC,
I suspect the drop in traffic is just because it’s summer. People take a lot of vacations this time of year. Plus, they’re also spending more time outdoors. ++, school is out, so more time is spent minding the kids. We were getting between 100 and 150 visits a day last month, which has dropped to around 70. On the other hand, our advertising click through rate has improved slightly. We’ve also started to get a few hits from Yahoo.

Apparently you have written the same sorts of thoughts that we all have had or even voiced at times and as I think you have told me, we do it for us. I’ve been trying to avoid looking at the stats since I know folks find and read my blog via other means and sometimes looking at the stats brings me down a bit.
There are quite a few who read my blog who never comment (including my own family members) and it’s just something I’ve come to accept.
We care about you Annie and I would hate to see you go.
I have feelings of not wanting to write at times and taken time off like recently and have had a hard time getting back with it. Sometimes it’s easier for me to comment on other folks blogs than to write on my own for various reasons.
It’s okay to take time away, to get on with the business of living life. Being a writer, maybe you’re feeling you need to be writing more for yourself and in a not so public arena? I don’t know – I can only imagine.
Lastly, I’ll say once again, we care. Do what you need to do for you and the hell with trying to be there for us and to entertain us. We’ll muddle through.

I know what you mean, Annie. I’ve been feeling like this lately, too.
I’m still several months shy of my first blogoversary with WordPress, but even so, lately I haven’t felt motivated enough to post much, and most things I have slapped on there haven’t required much thought. I think it’s due to the fact that I’m finally in the homestretch of a writing project (that’s code for “book”) I’ve been working on for the past year, so it’s been using up all of the time and energy I’d previously devoted to the upkeep of my blog. Even though I’m not as far along as you are with your novel, I’d imagine it’s a similar predicament. It’s hard to give as much to your blog, no matter how much you love it, when you’re plate is full with something else.
Don’t worry if you don’t feel up to posting as much as you did before. Once you’re not as busy with your book, I’m sure you’ll just be brimming over with snazzy ideas, and I can’t wait to read all of them. 🙂

Hi Rodg,
This was such an intriguing comment, I had to answer you in sections. In ital, below:
Writer Babe !! I understand the blues …work work work …just to keep even on the daily “hits in” parade! Don’t despair !! My name is Rodger and everyone calls me Rodg! I usually don’t write anything to any bloggers but since you were having a pity party I thought I would weigh in on how one of your blogs made my day better and clarified somethings on a major political issue ….that blog was the one you did on illegal immigrantion into our country from people living south of California, Arizona and New Mexico (don’t want to be insensitive and non accepting you know) I read your blog which did about as good a job on putting a few important things into perspective …I liked it so much that I reposted it with a link back to your blog on a few other forums
I like the new moniker – writer babe – that’s cool. I’m glad you joined the party, did you bring the party favors and hats like you were supposed to? Are you sure it was me who wrote this post you refer to? I don’t recall writing a post specifically about illegal immigration though I know it’s come up in discussions on this blog.
…maybe its time to get out there on that limb again and take a position and share your perspective on some important issues of the day and put that high octane brain to use ala Ann Coulter. I am not saying to become Ann Coulter on all of her views ..but to let it hang out there a little more like she does …matbe be more anncoulteresque or anncoulterish love her or hate her I have never seen her get beaten in a verbal joust by anyone take something that affects us all and tell us what you think and why
Ann Coultor is indeed a pistal and you’re right, no one can out verbiage she who will not be silenced. Though I’d be a poor excuse for a Coultor impersonator. The problem for me, with politics right now, is that 1) it’s boring me to tears currently and 2) I’ve been out of the loop for the most part and 3) I’m saving myself for the 2008 presidential race which really hasn’t gotten spicy yet. And if it stays as bland and boring as it is now, I may even pass on it.
…not that I didn’t enjoy ready the 8 or 9 things I didn’t know about writer babe (as you are known to me) think of how much more entertaining it would be to read or write if there were some zingers at ridiculous bigots like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson right after the Imus thing would have made us all feel ….poor Imus …meeting with al sharpton and asking for his forgiveness for sounding like a racist ? WTF was that …that was someone in an Imus costume and mask …stuff like that
Indeed, I did do a post lampooning same among others called PC Nation – perhaps that is the post you were referring to earlier?
..I found your blog by mistake and kept it as a favorite ..read it once or twice a week and enjoy your writing – you’re experiencing burnout because you are thinking that you’re writing to write because you should or have to or whatever …I am a webmaster and create some of the porn sites 50% of the population visits each day and I get burnt out too …whats the cure ? Make it fun again for youself by making it more meaningful to us who aren’t ready (by a long shot) to give up on reading your stuff even if you are feeling ready to give up on writing it …
I have to say that I am flattered and a bit surprised by your readership and I thank you for being such an enthusiastic reader. And making things fun would be a good idea – how to do that though…????
I personally think you should start remiding the world that Hillary Clinton doesn’t have the integrity or respectability or anything else that qualifies her to be President …are our memories really that short? She is guilty of actually committing the crimes that we impeached Nixon for simply talking about committing …subbourning perjury, obstruction of Justice , lying, stealing, cheating, she and her husband committed more felonies while in office than the whole state of Wyoming did that same year ….get mad about something …go after someone …go after that sickening blow pig Michael Moore who calls himself a Documentary Filmer …thats crap and only about 1/2 of us even know it …thats my two bit love from Portland Oregon …Rodg from the Lodge
Ah yes, Hillary. You have to love her for all her insanity and power grabbing. But there are whole sites dedicated to her pro and con – I hate to give her more press, if you know what I mean? From the sounds of it though, you have a handle on her and maybe you should start another blog that discusses the very things you are suggesting? Michael Moore did enter my radar and I may do a rant about him though. Thank you again, for such rousing and interesting comments, I thoroughly enjoyed them.

I think the problem with many bloggers is that they think they’re bloggers and not writers. Bloggers just seem fill a post each day. Writers tend to read and research.
Even if you do so, the dictatorial computer keeps pulling you to its keyboard, instead of letting you sit in the armchair and read a book.
Writing and reading go hand in hand. And it is through reading that the mind is exercised, and ideas flow.
My diagnosis is book starvation. Have a go, and see the ideas flow once more.
Hey Anthony,
Welcome to the party. 😉 I think you have a point about filling the page – though I know I’m a writer who happens to blog, not a blogger who happens to write. Though I think most bloggers are writers looking for an audience.
I think though that your diagnosis is off a bit. I read quite a bit and always try to read as much as possible. I don’t know if I could manage reading more but there is certain reading i’ve been avoiding because it twists my guts too much right now. Maybe I need to force-feed myself some of that.

Seriously, though, other things flow. For example, I rediscovered my camera. Which has been just way too fun. But I really REALLY don’t want my blog to become just a forum for posting my latest kids, cats and sunset photos.
So what do I write about when I’m sick? Snot? Decongestants? Imodium? Nah. I just don’t write. And then I feel guilty for not writing. But then I think, “Ah, nobody’s reading anyway. The stats are down.”
