You knew after yesterday's post on getting into trouble for tell people what is going on, the truth, how this author really feels about things, well, it gets me into trouble.
I lost a few subscribers to the blog after the DWI article.
And the thing is, most have joined back on the Facebook The Govtach Part Deaux group page.
And yesterday, I got a long, long email from someone on "Why don't you have positive pieces on the community?"
"Why don't you talk about only good.?" "Why don't you try and lift us up?"
" Why don't you talk about the schools winning, or kids getting scholarships?"
Do you know why?
NO ONE READS IT.........OR CARES.
Literally, my readership is terrible when I post articles on that/those subject(s).
Other than family and friends, no one cares your kid is valedictorian. Or your kid won a medal at One Act Play. They really don't.
It is sad, but true.
And already the Buna ISD's Facebook, The East Texas Banner, KJAS publishes articles on these things.
It is part of the reason why I don't and can't have advertising. I can write news, I can write opinion pieces that often make at least one group of people in the community mad.
And the thing is, while one group is mad this time, and swear " I'll never read that shit Thomas is publishing again." Two weeks later, they are back reading, either what is going on back at the school, community, or news other people can't really publish, or say, no matter it's the truth, or it is something everyone else is thinking, but only I can say....
Yeah, I wish I mad a few quid as the British would say, from the stuff I write, and again, I've thought about putting paypal, Venmo link on the page so perhaps you can buy me a cup of coffee, or perhaps Deb and I a pizza. And may do that at some point....
Okay, you want to know the background on what "Behind the Scenes" at the blog is like...
I am writing a blog right now on Francis' death and Catholic Prophecy....End of Times???
