Yoohoo! Anyone reading?

When I wrote for my college newspaper, I knew that some people would end up reading my column by default.

While lining the litterbox with my carefully thought out words, they might have picked up on a phrase that piqued their interest. Perhaps, when using the newsprint to get that streak-free finish on their bathroom mirror, they may have seen my smiling face and thought, "I wonder why she's so cheery?"

Some people even read it regularly, I think. I had a few loyal readers who dropped me an e-mail whenever my latest edition hit, thanking me for my honesty.

But out here in the wide world of the web, I have no idea how many people see the words, if any? I see so many people who have success with blogging, and wonder what the winning formula is, what makes people tune in. For now, I'll just keep writing.
