Hi Audrey,
I am very sorry I've not replied to your comments here on Goodreads until now. Until now, I've never looked at my blog posts here. The only thing of mine that I look at here is my author dashboard, so all your comments to date have gone unnoticed by me until now. I feel bad about that, as it is my policy, and indeed, my obligation to acknowledge everyone who takes the time to comment on what I've written. I guess there is that alarm thingy, but, well, as I said above, that revolution passed me by.
Anyways, a very belated thank you for reading and responding to my blog posts. I promise to keep up to date on posts here - I always enjoy what people have to say.
So, thank you for responding to my posts.
Cheers,
Chuck

The only social media type things I do are my WordPress blog and reviews on Goodreads. I'm not particularly social either, and I dislike the idea of juggling a bunch of socials. It's all I can do to keep up with blogs and email.
I do think comments are the main reason to be in the blogosphere. It took me a few years to start reading other bloggers' posts and commenting on them, but when I started doing that, others began to read and comment on my posts.
As writers, I think our blogs are examples of our skills, and even our spontaneous comments are a way to show how well we can express ourselves. If I notice interesting and well-written posts or comments by a blogger who is also an author, I will likely have a look at their books.
If I didn't care whether anyone read my posts, I wouldn't take the time, trouble, and expense to put them out there. Writing with a pen in a notebook is a lot less bother than maintaining a blog.
I've just started reading Chateau Clare; I'm expecting to be entertained and diverted!
