Today, I would like to encourage you all to keep on writing. Why? Because, I was ready to stop. I was ready to delete both my blogs and give it up because I have been blogging for almost a year at my other blog and have only three followers (as of today) and I am convinced that I am the only person who truly reads my blog.

So today, as I was contemplating hitting that pretty orange "delete this blog" button, I logged unto my blog and realized that I had received a third follower who had also left a comment. This to me was a sign from above. This sign showed me that you should never give up hope or stop believing in yourself. I know that sounds cheezy and is a recycled cliche`, but, it's true.

As soon as I was ready to say, forget it, the sun came out from behind the clouds. This just goes to show that although, it seems that no one reads your writing or your blog, that doesn't mean that you're not good at what you do. It simply means that you need to work on building a relationship with readers. Find out who your potential readership is and figure out what they're currently reading. Then find a way to inform them of something, entertain them, or figure what is missing from their bookshelves or Google Reader (if blogging), and write it. Write a blog post, poem, or short story that is original or different from what readers are currently used to.

In essence, you should keep writing, because, it's what you were born to do. You love it and you know it. You wouldn't be on this blog, if you didn't. Remember, when the page comes to life...so do you.
