You said: “One reason is because I wonder how my blog is benefiting anyone when there are so many (much better) blogs on writing all across the web.”

One thing I’ve thought about is if it might be better to set aside my blog and simply provide the content for those other people. We don’t need to have a blog of our own to share thoughts and ideas as we want to express them because there are so many other blogs that share similar content and would welcome guest posts.

That was one of the things I considered with Writer’s Round-About. The years worth of long-end content could be recycled as content made freely available in article directories or directly to other blogs.

In the end, after several days reflection, thinking about these comments, reviewing my blogs standing in the greater scheme of things and against other blogs in the blogosphere I’ve decided that Writer’s Round-About is actually doing very well. It mightn’t be the head of it’s collective niches but it’s also not the tail. It’s up around the shoulders. Which is pretty good considering I don’t update every single day.

I’m still awash in the The Idea Waterfall so content isn’t the real problem. As long as my visitors are happy to keep reading I’ll keep writing. So, Writer’s Round-About goes onward and upward.

Anyway, I see where you’re coming from…

Yeah, how could we capture the attention of Darren Rowse???

The truth is, Michele, I’m struggling to keep up with this blog and my biggest problem has been a need for recognition I suppose. The lack of response and growth in the past months discouraged me. I struggle to sit down and write each blog post because lets face it, who wants to put that time and effort into something people don’t want to read?

So, these comments are doing wonders for my confidence as well as helping me discover the best way to give readers and potential readers what they want. If I have readers who only come for the fiction writing aspect then posts about web design and technology might scare them off and vice versa. With feed subscribers constantly fluctuating I’ve wondered if that might be a cause.

Now, if someone could capture Darren’s attention on matters like this you’d be a God.

Seriously, if your readers are happy and enjoy what you provide us, isn’t that what matters most? (Unless you’re just itching to start new blogs and maintain them.)

And, kudos to Wendishness for joining us in the comments this time! Nice to meet you!

Wendishness´s latest blog post6 things

So far what I’ve heard is that there are two distinct areas of interest.

Writing: Is there a specific area of writing you enjoy most? Do you have a preference for writing topics as they relate to fiction or non-fiction?

Tech: This is a broad topic. I’m guessing your most interested in tips that average computer users, internet users, and bloggers can use. From the meat and bones of SEO, to simple CSS techniques, elements of an effective web/blog design, etc.? Are you interested from a web perspective or would tips on how to use other computer elements be of interest also?

Now the question comes down to, would it suit better to break into two distinct blogs? Writer’s Round-About could continue to focus on only writing topics with a new blog focusing on Tech. Or do you like having the two very different topics under one roof?

Thanks again for your feedback! It means so much to me that you’re willing to really talk about what brings you here and what would keep bringing you back. If you haven’t voiced your own thoughts, please don’t be afraid, I truly would like to hear your opinion.

I have to admit that I don’t check in as often I would like to. I make my blog rounds in the mornings at the office, where I have high-speed internet. Depending on what’s going on that day, I don’t always get to all of them.

I’m afraid I really don’t have much to offer except moral support. I’ve faced similar decisions with my blogs. When it comes down to it, I tend to let them hibernate for a while until I can get back to them.

Kay’s comment made me think about the other things I’d love to see here… Tech stuff that some of us writers aren’t good at. Just little tidbits that we could learn and try out for ourselves.
