Confession: I'm a bad LJ friend. This I know. I don't reply back to my comments and I don't leave comments at other people's journals as often as I should.
However, I've been notified by a friend that some people might be upset when I don't reply back to their comments. They wonder if I'm mad at them. I'm not mad at anyone and I'm sorry if some people feel that way. Read the above confession. I suck in the comment and reply area. Big time.
I try though. I really do. Sometimes I even do reply to some comments, but I guess it's not enough. Maybe it's best if I cut back on posting so much and work on comments more until I get caught up.
Here's another fact: I have comments going back to April of last year that I haven't replied to.
I deeply regret that I've let my comments get so out of hand. In light of the news I've just received I've contemplated turning off all comments for a while, but after thinking it over I can't bring myself to do that. But I look at that HUGE backlog of unanswered comments and it kills me with guilt. I did work on them for a while last year, but then my real life got busy with work and I couldn't do it anymore. I guess this means I should re-double my efforts and start replying to them again. At this point, I'm not even sure it's possible to catch up, but I'll have to try for everyone's sakes.
I haven't decided how I'll go about this. Maybe an hour or two every day. I don't think I can devote whole days to it as I did before, but I'll see how things go.
I'll make a post before I start in on the replies, so you'll be warned about your inboxes filling up.
