Last week I was watching director Nora Ephron's new movie Julie&Julia. Julie Powell (Adams) sets up a blog chronicling her adventures as she cooks her way through renown chef Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Part way through the film, she becomes disheartened because she feels like no one is paying attention to her blog. That all her work and her writing is simply falling into some great, big void never to be seen or heard of again.
Sitting in the theatre, as much as it was annoying to here the woman complain - again - I sat there with a certain level of empathy in my heart.
For I know what it is like - feeling like you are writing to no one.
I do have two followers - and I thank them for following me, but isn't it always the case that the grass is always greener on the other side?
I'm reading it B! lol I know what you mean though, sometimes I don't think there's any point in me writing one because no one comments or anythin and I never know if people are reading it. I think though that some people read them but don't follow and the more you post the more it shows up when you go onto the 'next blog' link at the top. I've just really started writing mine for myself too though, its good to sometimes just sort of write.
ReplyDeleteI hear you - thing is maybe people aren't leaving comments and aren't officially following but you never know how might be reading at that moment. I sometimes wonder about trying to advertise my blog but then sometimes think it's quite nice to just have people stumble across it. Keep up the good work - people are reading.
ReplyDeleteJulie stuck to it and look where she got ☺
