“That time you should’ve said a couple more words.”

That’s potent shit. I think that should be the topic and title of your next blog post. Worth a shot? I can think of at least 3 important moments where I wish I’d said just 2–3 more words to someone. Maybe more moments, when I think about family, friends, but also students. Those moments are haunting.

I know it’s rough sometimes, but hang in there.

I know it’s rough sometimes, but hang in there. Before I joined Medium, I spent almost a year blogging 4–5 times a week on my old blog. I wrote 2 books and they didn’t sell worth a crap. Last March, I just about decided to give up. I spent 2–3 months away from blogging. For some reason, I decided to join Medium in August and started again. Sometimes, I’ll revise a post from months ago and it does a lot better. Anyway, a few posts ago you got several hundred views! I think in some ways you could be suffering attention withdrawal. Happens to me. One out of 8–9 posts does really well. The other do okay, but not great. You have to write those 8 to get to the one gem.

Great article, great response.

Great article, great response. I can’t stop myself from writing. I’m not sure if it’s a drug, or a much needed medicine. Either way, you’re right. Satisfaction with you blog depends on what you want out of it.
