Blogging 201: Setting goals

In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!
– Galadriel (Lord of the rings)

OK, not really 😀

I’m taking part of Blogging 201 and it’s day one. It’s about setting goals to you blog. Well, what are my goals exactly. I’m never been good at setting goals. I guess I’ve been disappointed too many times. I used to have dreams but they’ve got dashed (for different reasons) That’s the same with goals. When I make goals, things always change. Maybe I just expect too much. So I’ve learned, if you don’t expect too much, you don’t get disappointed. Sad but true.

So with the blog I won’t have any special goals. What I really, really want (Spice Girls anyone 😉 ) is people to read what I write. I stopped looking at the stats. They are just guidelines anyway. I don’t want much from this blog. No fame, no fortune. I just want to share my thoughts with someone. And of course some comments once in a while. What it comes to Twitter and Facebook. Won’t give a damn. This is for WordPress only. But if someone wants to follow me there, just go a head. I won’t mind. Just one thing, I don’t ‘collect’ followers. If someone just want to increase their following base, don’t bother. Thank you.

So:

  • No special goals
  • To have at least one comment per post (minus pingbacks, real comments please)
  • To write at least once per day (maybe not post them)

“I know you’re there. Why do you linger in the shadows?”

That’s what Thranduil said in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

So I ask You the same, my dear followers, ‘Why do you linger in the shadows?’
This is just an observation and I’m not telling You what to do. I know You are out there. I can see from the ‘Like’ and pingbacks that You, my followers, are there. But don’t be shy. Come out from the shadows for a while. Maybe You’re just so busy with life (you know job, school, family and that sort of things) or maybe You just have so many blogs to read. Whatever reason You have. It would be nice though to get feedback from You once in a while. It doesn’t have to be analysing things. Just one comment would be nice. I don’t expect anything special. I’m not expecting long conversations. I don’t write any serious subjects. Maybe I should but that’s something this blog is not about. Like I wrote in ‘About me’ That still stands.

I’m not complaining though. I’ve got some comments. Thank you. You know who you are. But sometimes when I write non challenge things, they seem to get unnoticed. Maybe they’re not something You’re interested in. But that’s OK. I know I shouldn’t care if You post comments or not. I write for myself anyway. That’s something I shouldn’t forget.

Come now, don’t be shy… step into the light
