I know the image really does not match the title, but they are kind of close in a way. Lately I have been wishing that I could receive more reads and comments on my work here on Vocal. I do have two to three people who read my writings, but it seems that only a few months ago I had quite a few more other writers commenting on my writings of such. It has also been quite a while since I was on the leaderboard or even had a top story. Where has everyone gone that read my work here.

    I'm sorry your read count went down. I do my best to get to everyone, but living and working in the forest often prevents me from that. It's my time to catch up :)

    We all wish that, is not it? We should support each other more.

    Lovely photo, Mark! I try to do a read for a read, but I get behind. Even after retiring, I still work too much. June is the end of the grant contract that I train for, and I have 2 three day trainings and a 2 day trainers meeting this month. I'm having a cancer fundraiser this month, and my grandchildren are at my house every day starting this month. Busy, busy, busy! I'm sure others are experiencing some of this business, too. 💗💕🥰

    Awww - I know how you feel, Mark. it is reciprocal the more you read of other people the more they read of yours. If you’re off the site for a while then they don’t come back and read as much. I’ve been gone and then I was sick so I’m kinda out there in the less read category also. No worries everything‘s fine. It’s all good.
