I am not a writer so don't listen to me.
You write because you have something to say so to hell with what people think or whether they read it.
You write to keep them so fascinated they come back for more.
I feel my tastes are so old fashioned I could never please anyone so don't try. Mind it helps not to irritate too many people.
My blogs are slightly fictionalised accounts of things I've experienced. The fictional part covers lapses of memory as I'm too lazy to research.
Regards
