To Continue?

Had a friend ask me this week if I was going to continue on with this blog. 

The honest answer is, I really don't know.  I've never caught a real groove, never built a readership, and honestly this platform is a dinosaur in the era of Discord, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram. 

My posting volume is down, in part, because my painting volume is down.  Sounds silly - it's the winter - but I've been struggling with absurd amounts of apathy towards some projects that I feel like I SHOULD complete and NEED TO complete while other more alluring projects sit and gather dust.

Case in point:  I'm sitting here typing on a Saturday morning instead of turning on my bench light. 

Secondly, I know that there's basically nobody reading this.  Since you, the reader, are reading this now, I'll just salute and say thank you.  But please know that you're one of the few. 

My Kingdom Death posts still get some hits, and I take some pleasure in that; hopefully I'm helping people.  But other posts about Shadows of Brimstone, GenCon, or other rambles simply don't get much traction.  My most recent post - 6 days ago - has just 1 (one!) hit.  And that might have been me. 

When I link directly (to BGG or another forum), I get a burp of activity on that one post, people complement me on the blog, and then the wave passes in a day or two.  So, when people are finding the blog, they aren't staying, they aren't following, and probably don't come back.  This doesn't mean I'm "blaming" them; it's more of a confirmation to me that a blog like this isn't in their daily read routine (see previous statement about this platform being a dinosaur).

True story: I get more traffic from Russian porn sites than real readers.  Maybe they have a mini fetish, I dunno.

This doesn't feel like the end.  But it might be a transition.
