Show me!
Not to toot my own horn, but I receive a lot of positive feedback for my blogging enterprises. "Jessica, when are you going to update your blog"; "Jessica, your blog changed my life"; "Jessica, your blog is a ray of hope in an increasingly dark and terrifying world"--I could go on, but you get the idea. However, this positive feedback is almost exclusively verbal. And while I do enjoy replaying lavish praise in my head, occasionally I misplace a word or two, which tends to frustrate the process of retrieval. If only I had some type of visual affirmation--like, shall we say, in the form of more comments--I am certain that my blogging efforts would quadruple (or, erm, somewhat increase) in response to the encouragement. Or, it would just assuage my ego. Both desirable outcomes. Since I primarily exist off the positive feedback of others, comment on my blog and watch me salivate like Pavlov's dogs. We can use this entry as a test drive, if you like. You can even keep the image of me foaming at the mouth in your head as you do it...if you like.
So, I believe we all have what we want now. My readers got a new entry, and I got a desperate, groveling, borderline-despicable plea for more feedback. I have thrown myself at your, the discriminating reader's, mercy, sacrificing 94% (yes, 94) of my dignity in the process. If you don't comment now I'll really look like an idiot. And you wouldn't want that...right?
