Hello Again

This last week, I've gotten dozens of spam comments on various posts on this blog. I haven't posted since 2015, so I don't know what's up with that sudden change. But I decided to come check it out.

It feels weird lol

Typically I write blog posts on my own website (www.arielesieling.com) but coming back here affords me a great deal of nostalgia. In addition, I noticed that there's something super appealing about the simplicity of "just a blog." Here, I don't have to think about ecommerce and CPC and CPM advertising, there's no SEO or making sure my content will feed the algorithm. I don't have to delve into analytics or consider the business decisions involved in whether or not I should post something or the frequency with which I write. I could, but I don't have to.

It's just a blog. 

If people read it, they read it; if they don't, they don't.

And given that the last time I posted here was 2015, I think "frequency of posting" can be thrown out the window entirely.

If you're reading this, and haven't followed me from Blogspot to all of the other places I exist in the digital realm, a lot has changed since 2015. I have 30 books published. I'm a full time author. I have moved several times. I'm married. I have a large dog.

Time keeps on slipping into the future I guess

I hope you made it through 2020 and 2021 unscathed. Happy today.
