That's my assumption. I don't write it for a mass audience but folks seem to like it. Meh...
I don't mind large audiences, but I do like to swear - a lot. I had one company email and ask about syndication. I did not accept their offer. I did nice, I didn't swear at them. I'm not sure who told 'em about the blog - but they wanted me to edit and give them rights republish to my Lessons for Performing Musicians series.
See, I don't need their money. They can fuck right off with wanting me to edit it. I put those swears there for a reason. I wanted 'em there. That's the reason.
Many years ago, I had an editor. I should probably have one now, but I don't actually expect this blog to go anywhere. I didn't actually expect it to last this long - so there's that. I gave it three weeks before I'd quit. That was months ago.
I'm glad you didn't edit and sell, I think that would have killed the authenticity of it. Made it less enjoyable you can tell reading it, its authentic written by someone with experience if you make it formal it just wouldn't be the same.
When you're not hungry, it's a lot easier to say, "Fuck off!"
My goal for this month was 10 articles and I'm doing well for that goal. So far, it's been one per day. I think a couple of days got two.
The schedule function makes it look like I'm far more productive than I really am. ;-)
True it is a lot easier when you are set already. I don't know It seems like you are pretty productive.
