The Joys of Emails...

Since I started blogging, I have heard many authors bemoaning the amount of emails they get. Something I don’t really understand. Isn’t it supposed to be an indication of how well you have created your platform?
I can remember when the few emails we received in the beginning were mostly spam. These days, we get 200+ every day and is the one job I will not shirk. Due to time constraints though, I have recently split the load, doing half in the morning and the rest in the evening on my laptop.It is quite a time consuming job, but one I truly enjoy.
I read them all, reblogging the interesting ones, printing out the helpful informative ones and the ones I want to read again, and discarding the rubbish rest. I have met such a variety of interesting people, simply by reading emails and following their blogs. I talk to so many lovely people every day. People from all over the world!
Practically everything I have learned since the self-publishing bug bit me, has come from these people and their emails. For the interesting thing about bloggers is that they love to share. They will share their good news and the bad, how they managed to do something amazing, and all manner of happy times. In the course of one hour, I can be impressed, overjoyed or sad, and I realise now, looking back, that I could have been a little lonely before I was a blogger, as I didn’t know many people.
 Can’t say that now!

PS:   I have noticed that we don’t get many comments these days, and not sure why.Either we as boring as hell, or the site has a problem.  So could someone please say something, just to check?Thank you!
