Summer Tongue

I can start this off with something like, “Get some water.” “Moisten that mouth” but I won’t. ( I kind of did. Didn’t I?)

There is an abundance of comments in the winter and fall. I find that when it gets hot everyone tends to stop commenting. Is it as simple as that? The heat. Everyone is outside socializing and rarely has time to read and comment.

I do not blame them. Outside is better than inside all year.  There are those who cannot go out and the most socializing they have is with the commenters. Sad but true. I try my best to comment when I can but that does not mean that I am immune to wanting someone to comment back.

Yes, I can go out and socialize but I love to write. To entertain with my stories and the worlds I create. It makes me excited when someone takes the time to give a thumbs up or that’s interesting.

This is not a look at me writing. (well, yah, look at me. lol) It’s more of I need to get this out of my head writing so I can think of something else.

I guess I don’t have summer tongue. Not yet at least.

My opinion on Word Press

I have been trying different platforms to see how they differ from Word Press. I am going to say this.

There is so much more engagement in readership here than in any other platform. I gave the other platforms ample time before I came to this conclusion.

Word Press people at least attempt to reach out once in a while verbally but their likes are worth a lot. It means even though they may not know what to say or they are uncomfortable speaking to a stranger they like your content enough to give it a star.

I have been posting stories and now poetry here for a long time. I have seen the difference. No one has to like what you do that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that people want to see that they are at least being seen. The count that shows who seen the work is a great indicator.

I have closed down the sites because I know that no one is even trying to give new people a read. That is why I noticed that “influencers” have been pushing their platform hard and the point that they are being sponsored.

I could leave it there, open and forget about it but why? There are too many things created and left for dead. I would rather bury it and move on.

I am sure people have other sites they write on and that is cool but I find it strange that these site claim to be the best with getting traffic to you post.

That is all that is on my mind today. Have to work on my spoken word poem to post on my site. Have a good night.
