About Blogging – Audience
A key blogging issue is the question of audience. You can’t pick your audience, your audience picks you. The question to ask is, would you continue to write if no one else is reading your blog? I think the answer must be yes, because unless you already have a following, or are famous, there is no guarantee that you will find an audience. This is the same decision that a novice fiction author makes when he sits down day after day at the typewriter. There is no guarantee that his work will ever be read, and a high likelihood that it won’t.
