I certainly don't feel that I get very much feedback. Oh, lots of comments on trivial posts, or posts asking questions: but no one reads my book and film reviews, and no one comments on the simple feel-good posts (which, as you at least will probably understand, are there in part as notes-to-self for when I'm not feeling good).
I thought long and hard about bothering with book reviews this year, but concluded that at some point I might want to be able to point to the fact I've done them -- heaven knows why, a kind of portfolio or something -- and that I do actually enjoy that level of analysis of what I read. Moving them out of LiveJournal rather emphasises that separation from my everyday rambling, and probably makes them less accessible to others.
And of course the moaning -- or general lowness, quite different -- is pardoned: if you can't write about depression and bad times in your own journal, where can you?
I hope things are getting a little better. Don't push yourself harder than you must: time enough for that when the year's turned a little more springy.
