I don’t know if you’ve noticed lately, but I am suffering from a huge amount of spam lately. Not in the comment section, though – but in forms. If I did not check it daily, I’d bet I’d have over 100 spam responses in less than a month. It’s so annoying.
What’s more annoying, though?
Well, I’d say the lack of visitors lately and also that nobody so far has ever used my contact form, so I’m thinking of removing it. Sure, I’m not spending that much time either on this blog for various reasons. I’m still thinking about giving it up when this year is over, since I don’t think it’s going that well and my creative streak seems to be over too.
Some days I still have 0 visits and the subscriber count is not improving either. I think that WordPress as well have removed a bunch of bots too, but hey – I don’t really care. It seems like I don’t have the energy (or will) to focus on this blog anymore, which is both boring and sad.
I don’t leave that many comments on blogs I follow, and some rarely leave comments here, and I understand why. I blame the lack of originality and that it’s boring and repetitive to only post answers to weekly blogging challenges, but hey – what am I to do? It’s either that or not posting at all, so I choose to be boring and partake in the WordPress community in some capacity.
I do still wish that I will get back that creativity again, especially so I can write short stories from the heart that you will love and feel inspired by, but who knows how often that will happen? I sure don’t.
Did you know this, by the way?
My love story that I wrote a while back now, was actually a dream I had, and I wrote it down the day after and shared it with you because it was such an amazing experience to have.
I still feel so proud for writing that, but I also feel so sad because it did not receive the love and appreciation that I thought it would. I guess it got lost in the crowd or something, but I also feel hugely grateful to Eugi who wrote about me and linked back to that post and that generated a few more visits. Huge thanks for that, my blogging friend ❤️. Here’s a kiss for you (or a few)
😘😘😘
Now, let’s see what will happen with this blog in the future. I know some of you have told me to hang in there and these feelings are ok to have. Some of you will miss me if I close it all down and never look back and I shall miss you too. Hopefully I will stay here, but if I do, it would most likely be some changes. Perhaps I shall only do like Amy does and post when I really have something to say?
No matter what, I do appreciate being a part of the WordPress community.
