How do I, an old man who can barely control his arthritic fingers; being a trash writer with a substandard education, write the kind of content that people actually want to read? Quite simply, I do not.
I do not concern myself with what people want to read. That’s how you end up with supermarket tabloids filled with Hollywood gossip and divisive political rhetoric. That’s how cult leaders and faux revolutionaries ensnare their thrall.
I am not of the opinion that anybody actually wants to read what I write. I’ve confessed ad nauseam that I am a poor writer. I do not believe you consume this content for my elegant prose and riveting exposition.
Maybe, by coincidence, I will write something that is meaningful to you on an emotional level: empathy between strangers. Perhaps by chance I will write about some current world event that immediately concerns you, and the quality, either good or poor, is less important than the exchange of information.
In any event, I do not worry about writing what people want to read. I have little concern for having the most subscribers. I do not monetize this blog in any way. If just a few people relate to some truth I wrote at five in the morning, then I am content.
