thoughts on “readers’ comments”

To those of you who regularly visit my site and is disappointed to find that I have failed to update recently – my apologies. There is no point stressing the fact that I have completely drowned myself with writing assignments that are, regardless of how challenging they are, have managed to squeeze all energy I have.

When I checked my blog’s dashboard this morning to see any new activity on my blog, I got this instead:

55 total posts since I created this WordPress blog back in April. I managed to attain 76 responses from my readers. Whoa! My readers’ comments have managed to outnumber my posts.

Come to think of it, it isn’t bad at all. If I can relate it to my previous blog posts concerning how I can drive more traffic into my site, it is a positive sign that lots of readers are not just scanning through my site. In fact, they come to my site to read and react. Again, the writer in me is coming out. A written piece will never achieve its purpose until it elicits reaction from the readers.

Catharsis, if I remember it correctly, is one of the main points stressed by Aristotle. If this may be one step closer to achieving that, then it would be a milestone for this blog.
