Hello! Yes it’s me. I’m over here. Yep that’s right, look at me. READ MY BLOG Damn it! No seriously, trying to captivate an audience is hard work. The blood, sweat and tears are flowing all at once. I’m bleeding out over here. I’m dehydrated. I’m thirsty for some new viewers. Is it just me or has everyone struggled to find their audience. Just click the follow button on my page people, go ahead I will wait, but not to long, because my patience is shot these days. What an awesome feeling when someone “likes” my post, but what an incredible feeling when I get a response to a post. I get so excited to see responses, to know I connected with a fellow blogger. And for someone to click my “follow button”, there are no words, I just beam from ear to ear while falling out of my chair.
Oh 10, what a wonderful whole number. Today I will hold and cuddle the number 10. I, much like Darla at She’s A Maineiac, will create this post to celebrate numbers! Darla just celebrated making her 99th post titled I’m Gonna Party Like It’s One Shy of 100. I however, will celebrate my 10th follower! That’s right folks, pop the cork on the champagne and raise your glass to my 10 viewers. It has been a challenging year to understand Word Press, to devote time to writing posts, and to devote time to read some of my favorite bloggers posts. And it has been most challenging to captivate an audience of 10 people. Cheers to you my 10 followers. Thanks for hanging on to my variety of blog posts.
The bells and whistles are sounding. The lights are flashing. Ding, ding, ding! Kate over at

, you are the winner! 1 is the loneliest number, but 10, were in the double digits now baby. I’m movin on up, and I already live on the eastside, and now I need Kate to make me a pie. Thank you Kate for taking my blog to 10 viewers. P.S. Those silly cheesecake cookies look delish.
Yay! I’m so happy to be your tenth follower!!
Looking forward to your future posts
Thanks for being number 10! Blogging has been fun and hard all at once. But I will definitely continue blogging, I love it!
Oh, I’m so proud to be one of those 10! I know how hard it can be to get a blog started. You deserve many, many, many more, my friend. I love your blog. And before you know it, many more will, as well. Hang in there!
Hugs,
Kathy
Thank you Kathryn for being one of my 10! I love blogging and writing, I will just keep plugging away at it. Thanks for the support.
Congrats, Fraha! I, too, had a slow start. And, at that, I think I’m still under 30 viewers. Folks recommended creating Facebook pages, Twittering, etc, but then I envisioned myself chained to the technology more than relishing in writing and connecting and building some really wonderful blogging relationships. I’ve found that writing, blogging, is helpful to ME. I enjoy it, I find clarity and comfort in writing out my thoughts, my visions, my trials, and my triumphs. Being true to myself and not worrying about how many followers I have has kept the experience joyful. I’m so happy I’m one of your ten, faithful viewers. My only tidbit of advice is to read other’s blogs and comment regularly. Keep it going and you’ll find that they will jump on the Vatral Variety Train as time goes on!
Thanks for your support. I love writing but what a feeling you get when somone starts following your blog, that they were interested in your writing enough that they want to keep reading. Just feels good to make connections, but I also agree that it feels nice to write out your thoughts and feelings, making a record of our lives. It’s an added bonus that people want to share these experiences with me. And I love the community of people that I follow and the people that follow me.
