*sigh*

I'm not sure I could stay motivated to write consistently if i knew no one would ever read my words. I'm fine just believing people read what I write, even if I never know.

But a public forum is dangerous when you want to be honest or experiment with style.

I just wish I could be enough of an audience for myself.

I don't care if you comment (though sometimes it's nice).

But it's nice to know you're out there. :)

I tried to comment twice on your blog about relationships but I forgot my google account password and I got locked out. And then I decided that there was no way in hell I was going to type out the novel I had written AGAIN, so you went commentless. I also enjoy your blogs. Most of the time, I just like to be a voyeur.

I think it is weird that everyone reading this blog post took it as a plea for comments.

You state that you are fine knowing that people read, even if you don't know but that that is the thing that makes honest writing difficult.

I think people latched on to you saying "Even if I never know."

I am right, right? This blog is about wishing you could be motivated to write in a diary or something, so as to not filter any of your thoughts, but instead you are motivated by the potential of other people to read your work.

Yeah, you are right.
