I have a fun story to tell. Some probably already got a glimpse of this on Facebook.
I noticed a few days ago that several copies were printed off of my blog post of “The Donut Dollies”. I knew who had done it, but at the time I didn’t say a word. But this morning I noticed that the stack of copies of my printed off blog post were fewer and fewer. So I am guessing that people were taking them to read.
Then the person who was responsible for printing it off and sharing it with the rest of the people here walked in and so I finally asked her about it.
Of course she admitted to doing it and then she explained that she had e-mailed the URL of the blog post to her family and close friends and their families.
She reported that one of her best friends had printed it off and shared the story with their children. And she also sent it to her son, and her son printed it off and shared it with his child as well.
I thought that of course the story of The Donut Dollies was a very interesting one. And apparently they did too.
The children that were told this story actually took the blog with them to school. And they discussed it in their class.
For that, I was amazed and a little flattered.
I know that sometimes my blog as whole gets passed around. That is evident to the amount of total views. Yet I do not really know who else is reading it and I do not know to what extent my blog posts gets shared and passed around. I do however, think that its cool!
And I also know that people are reading, even though they do not come out into the public and tell me “Hey, I liked your post” or whatever. They sit in silence and they read.
I never know which blog post is going to make either a wave or a big splash. But I think that as a writer/blogger when it does happen, it’s something that I become very proud of.
A lot of people seem to enjoy the personal experiences of life that when I look back, is just so funny or silly. Some call me a comedian, but I’m still not on stage or on television talking about my experiences and stories. I’m not sure that’s something I would do. Still people seem to enjoy it.
This post though, seems to have really spread like wildfire, going viral.. statewide.
It will be interesting to see what happens from here. And for those silent readers… thank you. And thank you to all who visit and read my blog.
