Delurking Week

I have to make a confession even though I’m not Catholic and don’t know the lyrics to Hail Mary (I can do a wicked Our Father, however).

Here goes: When it comes to following blogs, I’m sort of a novice...

There, I’ve said it. There are some that I check every day, but I marvel at how many people out there read two dozen blogs every day. Where do they find the time? As soon as I launch my first barrage of query letters, I’m going to try to spend twenty minutes per day scouring the blogosphere, because I feel a little left behind sometimes...

Earlier tonight, I learned that we are in the midst of Delurking Week. Seems that I’m not the only one who shies away from commenting. Interestingly, the more dedicated I am to maintaining my blog, the more I feel compelled to comment on other blogs. Probably that’s because I get so few comments around these parts… (how’s that for a guilt trip?)

Okay, I’m off to add my inane comments to a bunch of random blogs…

At 7:17 AM, Veritas99 said...: Does this mean we're the only two people that read your blog?
At 9:40 AM, Shaffner said...: Yes, I think that's exactly what it means. Actually, I'm pretty sure my parents read it, but they're afraid of posting in case I'm embarrassed by it, or something.
