Does anyone actually read blogs anymore?

Back in April 2012 when I started this blog, I was authoritatively (pun intended) assured that if I wanted to be a published author, I MUST have a blog. All I had to do was choose a theme, produce useful and valuable content, and build a following.

Right.

My last blog post was almost five years ago. Things have changed so much in that time. In regard to an online presence, nowadays with TikTok and YouTube and Instagram, and a myriad of other content creator venues, this sort of personal blog is probably outdated. I’ve given some thought to just deleting this blog, but instead I’m going to reboot it.

I’m not sure what the content will be yet. Could be book reviews, thoughts about world events, or hobbies. We’ll see.

But mostly I’ll be writing a blog for the same reason I write fiction – for my own amusement.
