Sometimes, we waste a lot of time on redundant details. For example when we think of blogging, I especially, spend a little (not honestly 
) time on the topic of the blog. It is a like a book name or a cover. lot of people go by the cover and the name. Many of you might disagree, but sometimes it is true. When you know what you want, not then. But when you generally go bookshop hopping, it is first you go to your favourite section and then you slowly move on to newer and better options. I, personally, when go to a book store. I try to look through everything. Books that are the most uninteresting, authors I have never heard of; I look through everything possible. Me in a book store, is a doper on cannabis. I won’t brag and say I am a voracious reader. But when I am in a bookstore, I get a weird high. The smell of the store, the aura of the place. It transcends me to a weird level. Try not judging me, but it is true. So as I was saying, when one buys a book, it is not necessarily, that you know about the author or the book or the plot. You experiment a lot. That’s how you have at least 3 books in your shelf which are the worst buys.
I was just checking out how many people stop to read by my blog and posts. I am a journalist, currently with a newspaper. I love writing and like everyone I love to know how many read them. Unfortunately, I visit wordpress rarely, I blog mostly on blogspot, so you see there were very few. So was just wondering, what attracts readers?
Like I mentioned above, readers have different preferences when it comes to picking a matter to read, so I thought for a moment, whatever I have written till now (whatever little) what went wrong there.
My blogs on wordpress have been on me cribbing about my broadcast job. So, yeah, I guess I kind have answered my question. This is mostly like talking to myself….
At the end of it, let’s face it, people write and read for pleasure. A few earn their living by it. I do it as well, write for a living, but that’s a different writing. I don’t always write on the topic I love to. I don’t write fiction.
Reading that way, is more liberal. You read whatever you want to. You can never be forced to read something.
That’s all… Sheesh… I am terrible at not boring people….
