It’s been a while since I posted here. Since December I see.
I miss the old days of blogging, of visiting “friend’s” blogs and leaving comments. I miss authors who used to blog every day and you got a closeness you really don’t get anymore. Back then “content” and power were in the hands of the people writing, more than large corporations such as Facebook.
And I guess I miss the dream of someday writing a novel and being able to not work this 8-5 thing.
And look there, NaNoWriMo is only 9 days away. Do I dare go down that road again? Do I have it in me to spend the next 9 days trying to get myself to write an outline and the discipline to spend the next month writing? Probably not, but maybe. Who knows?
I feel like I’m dropping this into the void of some long lost community. But those were good times. So why not?
Where had time gone? Where it always goes, forward into the future one second at a time. Have a good day fellow time travelers.
The Struggling Writer 
I missing blogging and the community of bloggers. I entertain a fantasy that writers will grow tired of the superficiality of Facebook and Twitter and will return to the old days.
That would be nice. Unfortunately if feels like people would rather go to one place than seek out many blogs.
Paul, yes, I miss so much the blogging days, and like you say, that spirit of camaraderie, the pleasure of putting up a short story or a piece of (almost) poetry or a picture, the thrill of leaving and receiving comments, even if the audience was only a few great blogging friends…
The dream of writing a novel… hehehe… it seems to have gotten lost along the way…
Oh my Vesper. Good to hear from you! I hope all is well. Yeah the good old days were good. And too short.
Hello, time traveler! I miss the old community too.
Yep. The era of blogging was better than the era of social media.
