- Your blog just went viral. Ok, sorry, not yet. But just imagine. What’s the one post you’d like new readers to see and remember you by? Write that post.
- The Ultimate Post
blogging
I’ve written a few that I wish had gone viral in a big way; the ones about my trip to France that the baby girl and I took this summer for instance. I really enjoyed writing those posts, describing all of the foods we were eating, the countryside we were traveling through and my incredible family. There were also a few posts that were on a more serious note such as when I had anxiety over getting a biopsy after an unclear mammogram, writing about it helped me expunge the fear and the anxiety. Moreover receiving the good news afterwards of all clear and sharing it via my blog made the good news even more concrete.
I don’t know if this answered or even satisfied the prompt, but even if none of my posts ever go viral, I still find so much satisfaction and I reap so many benefits writing through my blog and interacting with my readers, that I seriously doubt that I will ever stop.
I wrote one about a wedding toast I’d like to give at my dad’s wedding. A few people on my facebook list of friends liked it, but aside from that, only a few people read it. It’s the one I’m most proud of. Interesting question.
What gets read and liked is tremendously unpredictable I have found in the almost two years that I have been at this writing adventure. The things that you think will surely generate excitement don’t and something that you write without trying hits a nerve. I am continuously learning which is fine because I get to share thoughts with nice people like you. 🙂
I have come to discover that we each have joined this community for our own reasons…so whatever blog you feel should have been seen by the zillions…it is because it is real; your story and it deserves to be shared. And it will be. In time.
Keep it up. You inspire with your post a days…just write. Well done, you.
Thank you, your comment means a lot, it truly does. What I truly enjoy is being part of this community and finding great people who share the same needs, wants, hopes and dreams. 🙂
What a question! Mmmmm .
It really gets you to think doesn’t it? All about blogging and your perceptions vis a vis other people’s preferences. Or what you are really writing about and why you are writing. I was flummoxed with this one.
That’s how I feel about blogging. Going viral would be wonderful, but it’s the writing I love, making people laugh, interacting with readers. You can’t put a price on that feeling.
Exactly and I don’t even know if the pressure of a blog going viral wouldn’t alter it somehow and make it less about ourselves and more about the popularity. I don’t know, all I know is that when friends like you take the time to read my post, it makes me very happy indeed. 🙂

Laurie, like my last post, this one is by far one of my favorite. Yes, unpredictable as to what will go viral!
