One of the b...This raises such interesting issues. One of the best things to come out of my few but incredibly loyal readers is that they have kept me writing. Albeit erratically - but every time I stop posting for just that bit too long, one of them will post a comment encouraging me, or asking me how I am, or saying that I popped into their mind - and the effect of that kind of care from a reader is incredibly powerful. It is largely because of my readers that I decided to commit to NaBloPoMo, having had a lengthy time not writing. I love your last line.

More than resolution, I'd really like to know, at this point, that Cream is OK. I don't need the details.<br /><br />Also, my first boundary rule when posting to my blog is, "Would I tell my mom this story?"

I made some life decisions recently that probably disappointed some folks (ok, I know they did because they told me), but nonetheless I had to do what was right for my life. BUT with that said, I can completely understand the idea that as a blog reader we want to know how the story plays out... the good, the bad, the extramarital, and so on. (If a favorite TV show just disappeared midseason, I'd start screaming at the network!) I guess I sit on the fence on this one because as much as my curiosity cannot handle not knowing the end of the story, I know that the story (in the blogging case) is real and someone's real life. Sometimes the hard stuff is just too hard to share with the world. Or my mom.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211160288546831008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162829547026802129.post-13816193140394046702011-11-09T07:51:46.976-07:002011-11-09T07:51:46.976-07:00Great post.

Found you on BlogHer and following you now. <br /><br />I feels personal when they leave, like somehow we the readers have done something wrong (not given enough comments, not visited their page enough, not commented on their page design, etc). <br /><br />I am not sure how I would say goodbye to my readers, but I would never just stop.Xxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834398241545152201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162829547026802129.post-45843051428975748992011-11-09T05:40:39.760-07:002011-11-09T05:40:39.760-07:00We didn't get Bryant Park in Colorado but I di...We didn't get Bryant Park in Colorado but I did check it out online a few times.
