I am sitting here feeling pretty darn  frustrated at how few people answer their email anymore.  I’ve written about 6 people about some pretty important stuff this week,  and not heard back from one of them.  I wrote 3 or 4 fellow bloggers ,  none of whom know me,  but I wrote to tell them how thrilled I was to find them,  and that I was thinking about the same kinds of things they apparently are.  Nobody even wrote back a simple thanks,  glad you liked it.   I wrote 3 or 4 other friends about my coming to town in a couple of weeks to visit,  and once again ,  zero.  Part of me feels insecure,  like “Why don’t they like me anymore?”  Another is let down in the wake of feeling so much renewal of energy over the past month since I began blogging,  and then getting no return emails,  no comments,  and blank stares from people I try to tell about it.  (Not everybody,  just enough to deflate me enough to see that this is going to be a severely steep uphill battle).  For crying out loud,  it’s hard enough to get my church to see that the Website can be more than a brochure,  much less introduce a “new” approach that Weblogging represents.
