Nobody cares about your blog, but you should keep writing!

The author started a blog but has considered stopping due to lack of readership. Though few may read the blog, writing it can serve as notes for the future, help release and clarify ideas, and give a sense of freedom. Even if the ideas are not original, sharing one’s personal view can enrich them. Ultimately, the author decides to publish the post regardless of who may read it.

Do you maintain a blog? Are you getting value out of the practice?

    I really liked this read! I blog, and I like my blog, but sometimes get stressed out because I feel like nobody’s reading it (I’ve removed all analytics on purpose because I used to get obsessed with them). Blogging for the simple act of blogging, and not for engagement, is the best!

      I’ve sent people short little emails about how much I enjoy their sites, and I imagine that’s far better “engagement” than any sort of comment or like.
