To Comment or Not to Comment
Well, I thought I had been doing ok for a while, visiting other blogs along my internet travels and leaving a comment, or two. A few blog owners actually came back to my site and left an encouraging word. Thank you all, so much.
I am an attention whore, so I was checking my email every hour to see if I had gotten any new comments. Ask Amy, the Good Twin, about me and my blog. I live 3,000 miles away from her and I can still get her to vote for my blog every single day. This is mostly an intergrity issue, as I do not want to be under a blog called 'Blow Me', I hope you can understand.
Anyhow, the comments abruptly stopped...I was devastated, as I feel the more comment worthy material is dispersed through out the blog. I have the firt 1,250 words of a short story, a few Flash Memiors, and just my strong yankee opinion spewing all over the place waiting to be challenged.
I am at a complete loss, as I may have offended some people by challenging their politics or ideas. I do apologize, I like debate, and I will turn it down. Perhaps, I should just stick to writing about my children. That is not offensive to anyone, yet...evil laughter...picturing a fifteen year old wincing as his mother uploads her blog for his date to see...

Hello, Michele sent me.
I am new to attention whoredom myself, but I also go through phases where I obsessively check my email and stats. What I like about Typepad is that I can see if people come to my place, even if they don't comment. It's possible your visitors lack of comments does not signify disapproval of your writing. I know that sometimes if I am very moved by a post I am unable to comment, it seems so complete and I don't want to mar it with my chatty banter.
Hello, Michele sent me... I just had to post my comment here. It never bothers me when people challenge my posts... so bring it on! Isn't that what all this stuff is about? There isn't any exchange of ideas if people keep their ideas to themselves, right? :)
