Pros of continuing to blog (in no particular order):
- creative outlet for me
- honorable voices are needed more than ever
- Catholic voices are needed more than ever
- It's personal, and I think people relate to that.
- It's unique - it doesn't fit any of the typical Catholic blog categories: "mommy blogs", "theological" blogs, etc.
- time-consuming - it is hard work to create a blog that is unique and good, consistently
- criticisms are getting meaner, and harder to take
- maybe it's TOO personal?
- While it's unique, that's a "bad" thing too. People looking for "mommy blogs", theology, etc., don't find it here. It doesn't seem to "fit" anywhere....hmmmm.
- After two years of really hard work, the blog is still not where I want it to be in terms of readership, active members, hits, etc. Either I'm doing something wrong, or it's time to move on...
well i would miss you, cause you are one that i visit each day and really enjoy you. i have never written a comment before but felt i should tell you as i would be sad to see you go.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you make it private? You can choose who sees your blog.
ReplyDeleteMrs. C: I thought about that. However, I DO want to engage people of opposing viewpoints, different beliefs and backgrounds, etc. I just want the discourse to be civil. Perhaps I am asking too much...?
ReplyDeleteYou do? With a header and blog name like yours I'd say you're being entirely unrealistic.
ReplyDeleteHm, I am often unrealistic, Von, but to what are you specifically referring?
