I find the same thing. For weeks I get silent and then I post. I do write with a bit of an audience in mind but for the most part I treat this like a diary especially of my trips. The content is to remind me of stuff but since I am thinking of an audience then I throw some extra stuff in there - like the story of the pigeons - instead of relying on the pictures I took. I am flattered that people read my stuff and comment and I have a very specific group of people who do comment and I know they have my back and are always there for me no matter what - like I am there for you. I think I am babbling so I am off to bed. I totally agree with what you said but I could never have put it into words like you did. :)
Well, although I didn't comment I did very much enjoy reading about your adventures on your recent trip to Nova Scotia (I used to live out there, and it was interesting to see it through somebody else's eyes).
Although people may not comment, that doesn't mean they aren't reading.
Absolutely and I am fine with that. I found that Lj was a great way to capture those memories so that when I go back and do some scrapbooking I have the thread and some of the thoughts or memories which escape me later have been captured. I am glad you enjoyed the posts - it was truly awesome driving around and I think I am in love with the Annapolis Valley - farm girl that I am. The tidal flats fascinate me totally.
I read LJ pretty much daily, but don't comment often. It's one aspect of the old mesage boards that I miss - a real conversation. Same is true for facebook - not much opportunity for true back-and-forth conversation. I find I tend to comment more for people who comment on my posts regularly.
But I do like hearing/reading about what is going on in other people's lives.
