Blog: Supply and Demand
Does my blog generate a demand among my legion of followers so that, in classical economic mode, demand generates a supply of my musings?
Or is there a different supply and demand dynamic to consider? Does the opportunity to blog, for which there is a relatively huge and inexpensive supply, arouse my demand to use the supply? I.e., if the opportunity to blog didn’t arise and tempt, would I have fewer thoughts demanding expression?
This is a chicken and egg conundrum.
I do know this: The demand of my followers, what there is of it, should not generate a greater supply of musings than the circumstances of my life evoke.
My principle should be: I shouldn’t write for writing’s sake, but only when I think I have something intriguing to share.
I have violated that principle with this entry.
