I think the thing I underestimate, that you mentioned, is interacting with people. If you want to keep people coming back it helps to make them feel welcome.

It is more than that, engaged readers are 100 times more valuable than passers by. Engaged readers are where the job opportunities, friendships, repeat readers and advocates come from.

I think it all boils down to how you look at the relationship.

I view it as a privilege if someone takes the time to read and then comment on my writing (time is valuable), so I will give them the time and respond whenever I can as it is just good manners!

So I suppose at this point I should say thank you for reading and commenting 😁
