Noticing Mondays

I have to admit Val, I at times find it challenging keeping up with all the blogs I subscribe to, even to the point of reducing the frequency with which I post in order to consume the output of others. I realise there’s no obligation being placed on me, yet the sense of community, which I value greatly, only sustains with one’s consistent presence I feel. What puzzles me just a little, is why prolific bloggers – and I would obviously include yourself here – choose to post daily. I find that people are still digesting posts of mine that were published four weeks ago (I only post once a month), and so how can one’s readership possibly hope to keep up with post notifications appearing every day, especially if unlike myself, they have a day job? Please understand that I am not being critical of prolific bloggers, for it’s a personal choice of course; it’s just that I wonder if that’s really a very efficient distribution of any writer’s output. Perhaps I fail to appreciate the nuances of sustaining a healthy readership, and yet my own approach appears not to impact on that as far as I can tell. Then again, many bloggers write as much for their own benefit as for that of others, and writing, as one of my own subscribers recently said to me, can be a balm at times.
