What works

Like every writer and blogger I like to see what kind of traffic and response the stuff I post gets. What I’ve found didn’t completely surprise me but it did a little. 

What I found was that the deep dark childhood pain stuff gets way more readers than any short story or flash fiction I post. 

I get the draw of darkness and pain. Most of the podcasts I listen to are dark and mystery and  crime related. There’s a voyeuristic draw to looking at the shit someone else went through. Always has been and always will be. 

So I guess I’ll keep picking at my own scabs and scars and maybe the readers who come to my site for that will read the other less personal pain inspired stuff too.
