Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ship.’” Use it as a noun, a verb, or slang … or all three! Enjoy!
I was thinking last night about whether or not I’ve been doing you, my friends and followers a disservice. I mean, my readership has grown on my Substacks, yet here it seems to be limited to what I lovingly call my “regulars”.
So can I ask you openly, when you first came to my blog, before it was renamed and repurposed, were you drawn to my creative writing, my stories, poems, and answers to challenges? Have I now become just a daily diary that’s boring for those who don’t know me as well, or is there some other reason I’m not growing?
I love sharing our travels, but maybe it’s too much of me, me, me and not enough about what I love, admire, observe, and learn. You tell me.
My writing on Substack-two pubs, Bedtime Snacks and Fifty Word Fiction-is all creative writing and I do engage quite a bit with others, which grows all of our readership. I thought I was doing the same here too, but I now realize that I too have my “regulars” that I mostly follow.
So maybe this stream has answered its own questions. Are we then like two ships passing in the night? Me staying here being comfy while you and others are reaching out to grab more and more opportunities?
Give me some feedback if you dare
And I’ll not go on without a care
I shall contemplate my methods to grow
And seeds of creativity I’ll try to sow.
