Are you there? It’s me, Aarti

I’ll be honest, peeps.
I’ve been a bit conflicted about this blog.
There. I said it. While I had previously taken heaps of joy in writing, the past month or so has been, well, how do I say it… difficult. I have a hard time thinking of things to write about. I find the Blogger photo-upload system insufferable. Everyone else’s blog seems oh so much more interesting, especially my sister’s, which I can’t stop reading!!
I’m not sure what’s behind it. Perhaps the shiny new-ness of the cooking show is occupying my creativity? I’m not sure.
Also, in the spirit of honesty, I think I’m discouraged. I’ve had no idea if anyone is actually reading this thing (apart from the loyal commenters, Laura and Patty Jean!). I know I shouldn’t be writing FOR comments, that I should just be writing for myself, but unless you write one of these things, you can’t know how important, how encouraging the comment section is. And since I haven’t been getting any, I’ve been… sigh… discouraged.
Ah honesty. I thought purging my conscience would help. But. I don’t know. I need to write something more interesting.
sigh.
Maybe tomorrow.

sometimes a new layout or font helps your mind to recharge/freshen up. and yes it should always be for you. pretty sure no one reads my personal blog but i know peeps love the picture one!
(which i've been bad about keeping up, boo).
well, good luck!

that's a great idea kat. i am actually working on a whole new website (aartipaarti.com!) at the moment. not up yet, so i suppose that's taking up my energies too. hmmmm.
i didn't even know you had a personal blog!

I’m here! I read! I suck at commenting, but I swear I read you and think you’re awesome!

Umm hello? Please don’t give up your blog! I check it EVERY DAY. Also, my friend Michelle, Kelly, Jan and Maria check it too. I agree with your friend – change up your layout and font. I use the blog secrets on http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com to give mine a make-over now and then. I swear it helps. Maybe you can use one of those websites that generates interesting questions to get you to write. Also – if you would like more comments, go out and find more blogging buddies! Find somebody’s blog, follow them and comment! Then they’ll start taking interest in your blog. And lastly – I have a question for your next blog post… if you had to choose between having an extra toe or an extra finger, which would you choose??

I feel the same way! What am I writing that isn't good enough to comment on? Do I really have any people reading it? Are people even finding it informative or entertaining? I have no idea.
I'm going to check out that cutestblogontheblock site!
When you start up your new site, I will be connecting to you!
Oh, and… don't you feel the love?

Aw, Aarti, I wish I could have read your blog from the beginning! Alas, I’ve just been introduced through TNFNS. I’m now obsessed and powering through your whole blog in reverse, so- no worries! We’re reading now! )
