A few days ago, Master commented about my blog and it’s lack of quality writing, “I preferred it, personally, when I could read your more in-depth thoughts.” Exactly what I was thinking was missing too, and honestly I hadn’t noticed was missing until he pointed it out. I couldn’t think for the life of me what was missing. So, first I removed the silly videos that no one needed to see. You can search for them yourself if you want. Then when I created the Submissive Guide I moved the Thursday Question over there because it seemed to fit that better than this blog. Now what I have left is TMI Tuesday, which is fun, pure and simple, Monday Meditations, which is in depth thoughts and the Slave Training with Miss Abernathy. I think both of these last ones fit the bill for possible in-depth’ness.
Of course, this is when most blogs tend t close down you know. When the posts seem to take on a superficial look to them and the blogger isn’t blogging as introspectively as they used to so they feel the blog is failing. I thought that too when I noticed my stats drop by 50% in the past 6 weeks. “What was I doing differently.” I asked myself over and over. Turns out I wasn’t blogging really, I was just filling the pages with stuff.
In the beginning this blog wasn’t about generating traffic. It was about reflecting on my journey. I’m not doing traveling this path by a long shot so why did I get so weak on thought? Lazy, pure and simple. I do have other website things going on, but The Iron Gate and Sensual Service mostly run themselves. My new veture has taken a bit more time and will take more time than my others to succeed. I can’t neglect this place though, and all of the readers *wave* that I have. I love you all!
I’ve really not taken the time to reflect on how important blogging is to my submission, but I know that it has helped me grow and change. Just reading through the old archives you can see what I used to be and where I am now.
A new year is just dawning and I have so much more to think about and explore.

Just wanna say that I really love reading your blog.
Your new project -the Submissive Guide- is also a great side. The first post I read was “Finding a Compatible Partner in the Lifestyle”. And it made me smile because I often have similiar toughts about how difficult it is to find somebody who I’m compatiable with. But I’d never refelcted on how hard it was to find somebody in the vanilla world,too. So thanks a lot for the new point of view
Keep going!
Cheers

Welcome to the blog!
Thank you for the compliments. I hope my new site is a great resource for everyone. I’m glad you liked the essay!
luna,
Some interesting thoughts on the direction of your blog. I look forward to more in-depth thoughts from you, though I still read or at least skim (being a dominant and not all posts apply to me or my situation with my slave) through every single post in my Google Reader accumulator.
I had a thought on maybe why your posts here are less about your thoughts. I wouldn’t call you lazy at all, for it seems like you do a lot of your thoughtful writing in your posts on Fetlife, too. Could it just be that you are splitting your thoughts across multiple sites, where things before were in just a few places?
Anyhow, just some thoughts of my own. *chuckles* Keep it up. I will continue to read yours and other blogs, for I am deeply interested in the minds and feelings of submissives. I think it helps makes me a better Master.

It could very well be that I’m splitting my thoughts up too much, although I tend to look at FetLife as a jumping off point of thoughts rather than filling them out there.
I’m glad you will continue reading
I’m sure that some of what I have to say can get quite interesting.
