Ten Reasons Why I’m a Terrible Blogger

I admit it. A blogger I am not. After a bit of blogger
self-evaluation, here are a few reasons why.

1. I don’t consistently post.
2. Sometimes, the computer is all the way on the other side of the room.
3. What to blog about? I never know.
4. I need more sleep.
5. I’m too busy working on my next book.
6. Repeat number 3
7. What’s the point? No one reads my posts anyway. (Guess that means reason number 7 is growing frustration.)
8. I have no idea how to attract readers.
9. Even though I promised 10 reasons, I’ll stop here. Why? No one reads this stuff anyway.

There…I got to whine a bit. I feel better. I’ll blog more soon.

A Note from One of my Readers

I recently received this note, caps and all, from someone
who read my book, Private Hercules McGraw: Poems of
the American Civil War. “I TOOK MY TIME READING YOUR BOOK
BECAUSE I KNEW THE STORY HAD TO END AND DIDN’T WISH THAT TO HAPPEN.
IT IS A WONDERFUL READ AND MAKES ONE HUNGER FOR MORE OF THE SAME.
NOT THAT I RELISH WAR STORIES, BUT THE HUMAN ELEMENT IS COMPELLING
AND APPLICABLE TO ALL AMERICAN WARS. THANK YOU FROM A NEIGHBOR IN
HASKELL. THANK YOU ALSO FOR BEING A TEACHER.” I am
pleased!!!
