If You Don't Write, I Can't Read

Well you know I like to write posts and I like to visit all those who put a comment on my post and see what you have written. However, There are many of you who haven't written anything in days. If I have nothing to read how will either of us make any headway with our banks? Now I do have plenty to read at the moment. I have lots of notifications to go through from the past 24 hours still. But when I put my comment on your post and go to see what else you've written, there's nothing new. Are you out of ideas or just hoping your last post will have enough feedback to keep generating pennies? Just some thoughts on my being able to continue interacting with you. Thanks for reading.

I'm guilty as charged, but I have always operated by only posting 2/3 times a week. I don't want to resort to 'fluff,' as I don't have enough ideas to post every day. I do interact a lot though.

I've noticed that, but you are posting about your trip to Spain and I'm enjoying that.

There are many people who find it hard to post discussions, but if we are all that way then you are right, there is nothing new for us to work with.

I'm also still getting used to the difference between here and B. People didn't put multiple comments on a post. It was comment and flee. Still I'm always anxious to see what's new with the person who commented.

I write a couple of posts each day. In the morning I have been doing mystery shops since I retired. I am having the time of my life.

I try to post about once or twice a day! but gotta give some people some time, some people have been quite busy with the season, once a month I check those I follow and if there is nothing in a whole month, I unfollow.

@just4him some people just prefer discussing. I try to start one or two a day, gotta throw stuff out there for people to talk about, like you said.

I know people are away from the site today. I actually got caught up, something I haven't been able to do for three days. It's some of the ones who comment, that aren't giving me anything new to read.

@softbabe44 It's that way today, which is allowing me to catch up quite a bit on my notifications.

Some will write a post and then comment on a hundred or so posts by others. That takes days-

Interesting. I wondered how I always saw some of the same people on the post I was reading but they had nothing new themselves.

Yes posting seems to be the easy part it is the catching up with the comments and like that seems to take more time.

@Cofee_Brewin Yes it does. I got caught up yesterday to be way behind again today. This is the first time I'm seeing you, I think, so welcome aboard.

I find that there isn't enough new content, you are so right about that. I did a discussion about it a while back. I prefer to go and read new post, not just answer comments.

I don't know about everyone else, but for me, I've just been too busy with life to spend much time on the computer at all. Today is the first day in about a week since I've had a chance to even visit here.

some time to much notification that no time for new post but its good to interact with comments,i also found that some people are happy with their friends and even not think to reply on our respond because they feel that they have enough friends to response and not need more.

I've been behind in my notifications for three days. I am just getting caught up. When I have a thought for a post, I stop and write it. That way I know I will still have some interaction.

I hate writer's block. When I first started writing I thought it was an excuse not to write, until I ran into that monster.

Val, I am much aware of your heavy schedule in getting your book accomplished. This was written way back at the beginning of December. I hope your book is coming along great.

@valmnz Though old, I think this one will always be relevant as some people don't post for days and even months between. I can't imagine going a day without posting, but maybe there will come a day, like you, when I will focus all my energy on my writing, and not on blogging.

While I have found that too, I do know I'm a culprit myself. I have ideas, just don't remember all of them when I have time to be here. In fact, I thought of a neat title the other day, but didn't get out of bed to write it down and then forgot it when I got up. There are a few here that don't write too many posts, but they're still making money just interacting on the posts of others. If you find posts some of them are interacting on, it may make all three of you some pennies if that's the only way you have of them knowing you're visiting with them. I've had a few days when I've thought of several things to write about and then think I should wait another day and by then a week has passed. I'd write something now, but I need to leave a minute ago for work, so see you around another time.

I haven't been on MyLot in a while for various reasons. I am trying to make the effort this weekend but it's unlikely that I will post anything new as I'm all out of ideas for now.

Guilty as charged. I haven't written many posts since I fail to make my mind about what to write as discussions. I did write a new discussion yesterday. I interact and go through other lotters posts which take time and then there are notifications.
