Demanding Readers Want……

Demands

I’ve been amazed at how people have threatened me when I don’t write.  One reader sent me a series of rage induced messages that were filled with cursing.  I didn’t read them, of course.  He wont be posting any more comments though so I guess that approach
didn’t work.

Some have been angry with me in email.  I just shake my head in wonderment when people demand that I write.  I haven’t seen anyone send me any money but some how I owe them?

Some people have encouraged me to write, some have been very nice about it!  Thank you for those, but most have not.  Most I hear from are angry.  I just don’t get this.  They don’t write for me, why do they feel they can demand that I write for them.  Other bloggers are always nice when I hear from them.  Its perplexing.

Its perplexing to the point I thought I might add a donation link on my contact us page.  Yeah I think I’ll do that.  :)  Perhaps I should have added donate buttons to the site long ago.  I have some hidden away on CebuExperieince.com, I got one $5.00 donation and you might be surprised how that put a smile on my face.  I think I added it to just one post though.  It was one with a lot of pictures and took several hours to add.

I don’t mind the threats and the demands, keep them coming, just don’t expect to get much satisfaction beyond that you get in writing them.  I like them, amuse me.  You could delight me by clicking below.  :)

I don’t expect you to but I would likely enjoy it even more than the hate mail.  LOL

I’m having a little fun but at the same time I’m saying, make it worth my while.  I grew tired of writing hours a day for a hundred bucks a month and that’s on a good month.  I haven’t seen that kind of income from the sites for a long time before I stopped writing.

On a slightly more serious note, I get a lot of email from the sites.  Some are log. Many want information about living in the Philippines.  I can’t respond to them all.  Sometimes I really enjoy them, often I do. I wish I could respond to them but I just can’t respond to everything.  Much of the time, the information is on the site.  Yeah, I know your busy.  I might not be busy, I might just want to do something more fun.  You could have done it just as easy as I could have.  If you want my private time, then  you might want to consider hitting that donate button.

I’m much more likely to answer you in public.  If you want the help for free then at least help me out by asking by posting a comment.

I haven’t felt well in some time now.  I’m still trying to decide on how much of that I wish to make public.   That has played a huge role in my decreased writing.  The problems have recently become elevated.  I’m not sure I’m myself right now.  I’m short tempered, my nerves are raw and I’m pretty much avoiding people because of it.  I’m not sure I should be writing at all.
